Super Bowl Sunday is not only guaranteed to be a great football experience, but the pre-game show featuring Grammy-nominated artists, the LA Phil youth orchestra and a "first-of-its-kind flyover" by the U.S. Air Force will also be a show stopper.
The NFL released a statement confirming that the Super Bowl pre-game festivities Feb. 13 will include performances by Jhené Aiko, Mary Mary, Zedd, and a performance by the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles.
While both teams warm-up, multi-platinum and Grammy award-winning artist/DJ/producer Zedd will be taking lead as the official DJ.
