OFFICIAL: HISTORY IS BEING WRITTEN — PAUL McCARTNEY & RINGO STARR TO TAKE OVER SUPER BOWL 2026 HALFTIME STAGE
In a breathtaking moment for music and pop culture, **Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — the last two living members of The Beatles — are set to headline the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show on February 8, 2026. This historic announcement has instantly become one of the most talked-about events of the year, uniting generations around the enduring power of Beatles music and the timeless charisma of two legends.
For the first time in decades, McCartney and Starr will share the world’s biggest live entertainment stage — one watched by over 100 million people globally — delivering an unforgettable performance that celebrates not just rock history, but the very soundtrack of modern culture.
A Reunion for the Ages
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr haven’t toured together as The Beatles in more than half a century. But in recent years they’ve surprised fans with rare joint appearances onstage — most recently delighting audiences during McCartney’s own concerts and special performances in cities like Los Angeles and London this past decade. McCartney has called those moments “magical,” underscoring how special it is for them to make music together as peers and friends going back over 60 years.
Now, with the giants of pop standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a global audience, the spectacle is being billed as more than just a concert — it’s a historical milestone.
Super Bowl 60: The Big Stage
The 2026 Super Bowl, officially Super Bowl LX, will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. While the NFL had already announced Bad Bunny as the headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, this monumental Beatles reunion has ignited a firestorm of excitement and speculation across social media and music communities worldwide.
Whether McCartney and Starr will share the full 15-minute halftime stage with Bad Bunny, or present a special Beatles-centric segment of the show, remains part of the buildup. But what is certain is that their presence elevates this game’s entertainment to legendary levels.
Why This Matters
Few acts in history have shaped the sound of modern music the way The Beatles did. Their catalog — from “Hey Jude” to “Let It Be” — is woven into the cultural DNA of millions. Even decades after the band’s breakup and the tragic deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison, Paul and Ringo continue to keep The Beatles’ spirit alive — whether through new collaborative projects, archival releases, or surprise appearances that thrill new generations of fans.
Earlier this year The Beatles even won Best Rock Performance at the Grammys for the newly completed track “Now and Then” — a record that featured archived parts from Lennon and Harrison alongside McCartney and Starr, proving that the band’s legacy still resonates with critics and fans alike.
What Fans Can Expect
While details of the specific setlist at the Super Bowl are being carefully guarded, fans are already dreaming of Beatles classics, sing-alongs, and perhaps even unique reinterpretations that bridge the past and present. Longtime followers are itching to hear hits like:
“Come Together”
“Let It Be”
“Something”
“Hey Jude”
…performed with the seasoned elegance only McCartney and Starr can deliver — two icons whose friendship and shared musical journey spans over six decades.
A Night to Remember
This historic pairing on the Super Bowl stage goes far beyond mere nostalgia. It’s a testament to the timeless power of music, the enduring relevance of The Beatles’ art, and the rare privilege of witnessing living legends do what they were born to do: make history together.
Super Bowl 2026 won’t just be a game — it’ll be the moment the soundtrack of generations echoed across the world
