The first annual College Football Playoff National Championship game is pulling out all the stops to create a memorable event by adding Kendrick Lamar as this year’s halftime performer.
Making the big announcement on Tuesday via ESPN Media Zone, the special performance is a free, non-ticketed event in the park, just outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the game will be played. Lamar says he is honored to be the first halftime performer ever.
“Having the opportunity to perform at halftime of what will surely be the best game of the year between two deserving universities is truly an honor,” said Kendrick Lamar. “Thank you, ESPN, for having me be the first halftime performer ever at the College Football Playoff National Championship.”
