Sting is set to bring his signature sound to the Super Bowl weekend festivities with a high-profile performance in San Francisco. The British music icon will headline a special concert on February 6, 2025, at the Palace of Fine Arts, kicking off a weekend of entertainment leading up to Super Bowl LIX.
The show is part of the NFL’s Studio 60 event, curated by official hospitality provider On Location. Designed as a premium experience, Studio 60 offers not only live music but exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with current and former NFL stars. Tickets for Sting’s appearance start at $750, making it a luxury offering for fans seeking more than just game-day thrills.
This marks Sting’s return to the Super Bowl orbit, having co-headlined the halftime show in 2003 alongside Shania Twain and No Doubt. His upcoming performance adds a refined musical touch to the pre-game festivities, appealing to audiences looking for classic hits and smooth vibes.
A second night of Studio 60 is scheduled for February 7 at the same venue, though the lineup remains under wraps. Meanwhile, the Bay Area Host Committee — operating separately from the NFL — is bringing country heavyweight Chris Stapleton to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium for a performance on that same evening.
The announcement comes amid controversy over the official Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which will be led by reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny. The choice has stirred political backlash from prominent conservative figures, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has stood by the decision, expressing confidence that the performance will unite and entertain.
As Super Bowl LIX draws closer, fans will have a variety of musical events to enjoy, with Sting’s concert promising to be one of the highlights of an already star-studded weekend.
