Bad Bunny to Headline Super Bowl LX Halftime as Casting Terms and Pay Draw Scrutiny

The NFL covers production costs instead of a headline fee, a model newly examined after strict height limits with $18.70 hourly rates appeared in field-performer casting.

Overview

  • Super Bowl LX is set for February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, with Bad Bunny scheduled to perform at halftime.
  • Recruiter Backlit LLC listed field-performer requirements that included a 5'10" to 6'1" height range, U.S. work authorization, athletic build, and comfort with heavy full-body costumes, with pay set at $18.70 per hour; the call has closed.
  • Green Day is officially booked for the opening set before kickoff at Levi’s Stadium, according to organizers.
  • Reporting indicates headliners do not receive a performance fee beyond union-scale payments of roughly $1,000 per day and covered production costs, a framework reshaped after 2021 dancer pay disputes led to commitments to avoid unpaid volunteers.
  • Rumors that Bad Bunny could wear a dress remain unconfirmed, yet the talk has already prompted conservative social-media backlash and boycott calls.
