RONNIE DUNN TO LEAD SUPER BOWL LX HALFTIME: WHEN THE HEART OF COUNTRY COMES HOME đ€đ
The whisper has stopped whispering â itâs become a roar.
According to multiple industry sources, Ronnie Dunn has reached an agreement (pending final signatures) to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, set for February 8, 2026, at Leviâs Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
No spectacle for spectacleâs sake.
No laser mazes. No celebrity parade.
Just a Texas voice, a microphone, and songs that taught America how to feel â without apology.
Picture it: the lights dim. The stadium falls quiet. A single spotlight finds him at midfield â calm, steady, unmistakable. Then the first line rolls out, low and true, like a promise kept:
âIâm not talkinâ baby talkâŠâ
Living rooms go silent. Sports bars stop clinking glasses. Somewhere, one hand finds another. This isnât halftime noise â itâs halftime truth.
This isnât branding.
Itâs belonging.
A Setlist Written by a Lifetime
Fans are already buzzing about a setlist that needs no reinvention â because it already lives in peopleâs bones:
âNeon Moonâ â slow, aching, impossible to rush
âBoot Scootinâ Boogieâ â the moment the stadium remembers how to move
âMy Mariaâ â pure joy, loud and free
âRed Dirt Roadâ â memory turned into melody
âBelieveâ â the hush before the tears
And then â if he chooses â âCowgirls Donât Cry.â
No fireworks. No shouting. Just a stadium breathing together.
Why Ronnie. Why Now.
For decades, Ronnie Dunn didnât chase moments. He built them.
While trends came and went, his voice remained â steady as a back road, honest as a confession you didnât know you needed.
This halftime show isnât about crossing genres.
Itâs about crossing generations.
Parents who grew up with these songs.
Kids hearing them for the first time and somehow feeling like theyâve always known them.
When Ronnie sings, it doesnât feel like a performance.
It feels like someone finally telling the truth out loud.
The Ending Everyone Is Waiting For
If he closes with âOnly In America,â it wonât sound like a slogan.
It will sound like a question â and an answer â at the same time.
And for a few minutes on the biggest stage there is, the country wonât argue.
It will listen.
February 8, 2026.
Clear the coffee table. Dim the lights. Turn the volume up.
Because when Ronnie Dunn opens his mouth at halftime, America wonât just watch.
It will remember who it is.
