The Super Bowl is heading to Music City in 2030.
The National Football League announced Tuesday morning (May 19) that Super Bowl LXIV is planned to take place at Nashville’s new Nissan Stadium. Nashville previously hosted the NFL Draft in 2019, attracting an estimated 600,000 fans during the event weekend.
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey. The vision of Amy Adams Strunk and the Tennessee Titans helped make this moment possible. With great partners at the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. and Tennessee Titans, we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”
“Hosting the Super Bowl is a defining moment for Nashville and Tennessee and reflects years of work to build Music City into a globally recognized destination for music, entertainment, and live events,” said Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “This event presents an incredible opportunity to showcase the vibrant and creative identity of Nashville to a worldwide audience and deliver a Super Bowl experience that is uniquely Music City, where music, sports, culture, and hospitality come together in a way few cities can match. We appreciate the NFL’s confidence in our community. Nashville has built a strong reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.”
“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030,” Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “This is an exciting milestone for our city and our entire state. We look forward to our community experiencing an event of this scale and for the world to witness the energy, hospitality, and culture that make Nashville so unique on a global stage. Thank you to Commissioner Goodell, my fellow owners, and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. for their partnership throughout this process. We’re excited to bring an unforgettable Super Bowl experience to Nashville together.”
Considering Nashville’s reputation as Music City, attention will naturally turn toward the musical performances that could be featured during the 2030 Super Bowl festivities. While Nashville is widely recognized as the center of the country music industry, it is also home to artists from contemporary Christian and gospel, hip-hop, R&B, and bluegrass genres.
Country artists have frequently performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl in recent years, with performers such as Chris Stapleton, Mickey Guyton, Eric Church, and Reba McEntire taking the stage. However, country acts have rarely appeared during the Super Bowl Halftime Show itself.
In 1994, country music took center stage during the halftime show when The Judds, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, and Travis Tritt delivered a fully country-themed performance featuring songs including “It’s A Little Too Late,” “Love Can Build a Bridge,” and “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” Shania Twain later headlined the halftime show in 2003.
The 2026 Super Bowl took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Bad Bunny headlined the halftime show, while pop singer Charlie Puth performed the national anthem alongside Kenny G, members of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, the Sainted Trap Choir, and the Color of Noize Orchestra. Brandi Carlile performed “America The Beautiful,” while Coco Jones sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
