Tiësto Breaks Ground as Super Bowl’s First In-Game DJ

In a groundbreaking move for the Super Bowl and the world of EDM, GRAMMY-winning artist Tiësto has been announced as the first-ever in-game DJ for Super Bowl LVIII. Set to take place on February 11th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, this event marks a historic melding of sports and music, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Entertainment Capital of the World.

The NFL’s decision to integrate a DJ performance into the game is a nod to the evolving landscape of entertainment. In previous years, the league introduced pre-game DJ performances, a tradition that Tiësto is set to elevate by engaging the audience throughout the entire event.

Known globally for his electrifying sets and musical versatility, Tiësto will be performing a DJ set before the game during player warm-ups and spinning tracks during featured breaks throughout the game. This choice by the NFL not only celebrates the rich DJ legacy of Las Vegas but also signals a fresh, dynamic direction for the Super Bowl experience.

“I’m excited to be a part of the Super Bowl LVIII! 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!”
