Maroon 5 will headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LII on Feb. 3, 2019 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The Adam Levine-led rock band follows such previous superstar headliners as Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, U2, The Who, Katy Perry, Prince, the Black Eyed Peas and Janet Jackson. Levine has often that playing the Super Bowl is one of his biggest goals.

The NFL has made no official announcement about the halftime show or which other acts may perform.

KISS is hanging up their platform boots and taking off their makeup. The veteran rock band, founded more than 40 years ago by Israel-born bassist Gene Simmons (né Chaim Witz), 69, and guitarist Paul Stanley (né Stanley Eisen), 66, with former members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, announced their farewell End of the World Tour on the Sept. 19 finale of “America’s Got Talent.”

“All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years,” the band said in a statement. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. KISS Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in… Unapologetic and unstoppable.”

KISS, which includes guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, have sold more than 100 million albums.
