I'm getting super burnt out on him so I'm not exactly bursting with excitement, but this is honestly a really good choice. Break a leg, Abel!

I'm excited for this. Hope he brings the autotune.

Blinding Lights will survive and overcome the weeks Circles had on Hot 100?

Can't wait to see him perform Blinding Lights for the one hundredth time in the same old suit.

Fun fact, Abel's going to be the first black Super Bowl halftime headliner since 5 million years ago

Strong choice. He'll put on a great show. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see him bring out Ariana Grande considering they've now done a couple songs together.

Solid choice. He's currently rocking one of the biggest hits of all time, so it seems appropriate. I don't find him to be a particularly engaging performer, but there's so much flash and spectacle with the Superbowl, you don't necessarily have to be.

I'm all for The Weeknd hosting the SB halftime show. I could see his set list including all of his big hits: Earned It Can't Feel My Face The Hills Starboy I Feel It Coming Heartless Blinding Lights
Granted, they'll probably have to clean up some of the lyrics on songs like Starboy and The Hills. Also, I could definitely see Ariana Grande being a special guest, seeing how they have two collabs together (one of which is very new).

I think it would be awesome if they have a skit before he's about to perform where he's beat up by the mobsters from Uncut Gems and he ends up bloody and beat like on the album cover.

This has potential to be great but there's also the possibility that he brings up some famous friends without any charisma and a lot of auto-tune. But we shall see.

Great to see, I think he can pull a good show. But let's be realistic here, they will still do Superbowl even with Covid still there??

Some teams/cities don't host any fans; others host limited capacities. With this new string of state shutdowns happening because of the third wave, it's TBD as to what will happen with upcoming games, but I could very easily see the NFL continuing the rest of the season and just making the remainder of the season (incl. the Superbowl) completely fanless. That'll be one very bizarre halftime show to watch, no matter how great the performer.

Thanks for clarifying (I'm not a follower of US sports) I agree, no mather who'll perform, without people will be weird to see.

screw Ariana Grande, bring out Daft Punk for Starboy!

Seems like the below would be the obvious setlist
The Hills Can't Feel My Face Starboy I Feel It Coming Blinding Lights Save Your Tears
Would be great to get House of Balloons or one of the tracks from the mixtapes. I don't need "Earned It." "Starboy" gives me opening vibes but ideally, Daft Punk would be there, which would need to be saved until mid-set for the surprise. Maybe CFMF could open it.

^ "Often," "Earned It," and "In The Night" could easily be incorporated into that, too.

Bring out Dua Lipa and make a retro-disco mashup between something from After Hours and Future Nostalgia.

I can actually see The Weeknd working well with Miley with her current artistic direction.
I do think that's just a coincidence, though.
