What do you get when you cross three music superstars, a heap of American football, and—let’s check the stars—a feisty Sagittarius Sun squaring off with a dreamy Pisces Moon? Absolute chaos… and possibly the most unforgettable Thanksgiving Day NFL lineup we’ve ever witnessed. While millions are elbow-deep in mashed potatoes and existential dread (courtesy of that one uncle who just can’t help himself), Jack White, Post Malone, and Lil Jon are stage-crashing America’s biggest family tradition with high-voltage halftime shows. Seriously, if you told me last year that this trio would headline Turkey Day’s gridiron spectacle while Mercury threatens to retrograde, I would’ve snorted pumpkin pie out my nose. But here we are. It begs the question: will Jack White shatter a guitar or just our perception of televised halftime shows? And did Post Malone’s astrologer warn him about launching the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign under this particular lunar transit? Either way, expect touchdowns, genre collisions, and enough musical whiplash to rattle your astrological chart—because this Thanksgiving, the universe is clearly calling the plays. LEARN MORE
Jack White, Post Malone and Lil Jon will headline the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day games.
The NFL announced Monday that the artists will deliver three halftime performances during the games set for Thanksgiving Day.
On Thursday, Nov. 27, Detroit-native White will perform during the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Halftime Show powered by Verizon when the Lions take on the Green Bay Packers at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. (The Lions are usually one of two teams to play every year on Thanksgiving as part of NFL tradition, alongside the Dallas Cowboys.) Renowned gospel musician CeCe Winans will perform the national anthem.
Malone will take the stage at halftime of the Cowboys versus the Kansas City Chiefs at 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Malone’s performance will mark the official launch of The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Lil Jon will perform live at the Baltimore Ravens game against the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Tony winner Renée Elise Goldsberry will sing the national anthem at the Ravens-Bengals game.
Now in its 29th year, the Red Kettle Kickoff is a Texas-sized Cowboys tradition for one of the largest, longest-running annual fundraisers of its kind. The iconic halftime show issues a rallying cry to donate to The Salvation Army’s work in communities nationwide.
The performers’ lineup was announced amid Eminem entering a multi-year partnership with the Detroit Lions to executive produce the football team’s Thanksgiving Halftime Show. The rap icon and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, will both be executive producers, and they’ll consult the Lions for booking talent on the yearly halftime show through 2027, the NFL said.
Jay-Z and Roc Nation have helped produce the Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2019. Bad Bunny will headline the show this coming February.
