E-40 to Headline Stanford Halftime Show vs. Miami

Stanford is staging the nationally televised season opener as a celebration of E-40’s My Ghetto Report Card and a showcase of Bay Area music and culture.

Overview

  • Stanford confirmed the booking Thursday, June 11, saying E-40 will perform at halftime of the Sept. 4 game against Miami at Stanford Stadium.
  • The game is scheduled to air on ESPN with a reported 6 p.m. kickoff and the halftime set is being framed as a 20th‑anniversary celebration of E-40’s 2006 album My Ghetto Report Card.
  • E-40 thanked Stanford general manager Andrew Luck for arranging the appearance and said the performance will “turn the stadium into a full-blown function” highlighting Bay Area music, sports and entertainment.
  • Stanford described the booking as a way to connect the program with local culture as the team seeks momentum under head coach Tavita Pritchard, though details on guest artists, a full lineup, tickets and a setlist have not been released.
  • My Ghetto Report Card helped bring hyphy-era Bay Area rap into the national spotlight and E-40’s wider business profile in food and drink adds commercial and cultural reach to the halftime event.
