Last night, the Weeknd headlined the Super Bowl LV Pepsi Halftime show. The live performance was something the Super Bowl had never seen before, with the stage setup in the stands right next to the Raymond James Stadium pirate ship.
He started out the performance in a convertible, with city lights behind him and Pepsi logos all behind him. He incorporated lights, fog and fireworks to amplify his performance. With lights fog effects and dancers, the pop star performed some of his top hits as well as some of his deep cuts in this electric performance.
In a recent interview, the artist tried not to give too much away when asked about details regarding the show.
“Due to COVID and for the safety of the players and the workers we kind of built the stage within the stadium and we’re also using the field as well but we wanted to kind of do something that we’ve never done before,” he said. “So we built the stage in the stadium but I’m not gonna tell you anything else, because you’ll have to watch on Sunday.”
This performance also marks Thee Weeknd as the first Canadian to solo headline the Super Bowl halftime show.
