The BIZARRAP halftime show will feature some of the artist’s biggest hits, paying homage to his legendary sessions. This will be the first time BIZARRAP and Daddy Yankee, who officially stepped out of retirement earlier this year, will perform live together.

“I am really looking forward to performing onstage again with the incredibly talented BIZARRAP,” said Daddy Yankee. “I feel so joyful about music and the amazing track we have created together – sharing it with fans around the world has already been so rewarding. Get ready Madrid, get ready NFL, we are going to have an amazing show!”

“Across performances at our international games, we’ve elevated Latin artists around the world – showcasing the significance and appeal of the genre globally,” said Senior Director, Global Game Presentation and Entertainment at the NFL Tim Tubito. “We’re thrilled to welcome BIZARRAP and Daddy Yankee to our first-ever game in Madrid and can’t wait for fans to witness history, including the inaugural performance of the BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66 and a pregame lineup of inspirational talent. It will be a celebration of music and culture you won’t want to miss.”

To kick off the league’s first game in Madrid, the NFL will continue to spotlight vibrant and versatile music including the Madrid Marine Infantry Group Band performing the country’s National Anthem Marcha Real Española, and Madrid-based vocalist Karina Pasian performing the U.S. National Anthem.
