In a groundbreaking announcement, Grammy-Award winning Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto has been named the first in-game DJ for the Super Bowl. The NFL announced today (Jan. 25), that Tiësto will perform a DJ set prior to the game while the players are warming up and fans are settling in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Tiësto is also set to be Super Bowls in-game DJ – playing during featured breaks, making him the first superstar DJ to perform through the Super Bowl.

“I’m excited to be a part of the Super Bowl LVIII!” said Tiësto. “And it’s even more incredible that it’s in my favorite place – Las Vegas. Thank you to the NFL for having me. I cannot wait to party with you all at the big game!” – Tiesto

Tiësto’s performance will take place on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 11, 2024), and will be featured on the CBS Super Bowl LVIII broadcast channel and live streamed on the artist’s social channels.

Tim Tubito, Director of Event Presentation and Content at the NFL said “Each year, we look to elevate the in-stadium experience for our fans, and with our first Super Bowl in Las Vegas, it seems only fitting to embrace the legacy of iconic DJs in this city by having Tiësto bring his signature style to our biggest event,” The NFL originally programmed DJ sets which only occurred while the players warm up. While this will be the fifth year of a DJ set during player warmups – this is the first artist will be playing the full game, including the pre-game. “As one of the most influential DJ/producers who helped define the culture of Las Vegas and electronic music around the world, Tiësto is the perfect artist to help us create an unforgettable gameday experience for our fans, players and viewers everywhere.”

We have a lot in store for Super Bowl LVIII and we hope you guys are ready just as much as us. To keep up with the stream, check out https://www.cbssports.com/.

Based in NYC, I enjoy the fast paced world of music and all things EDM. I hope to illustrate my passion of the community through my writing. Electronic music is more than just music to me, it’s become a part of my daily life and I’m excited to share my experiences through another set of lenses, for everyone to escape their reality for a brief moment of time!
