Give thanks, NFL fans, the headliners are set for this year’s Thanksgiving Day halftime shows.
Jack White will kick off the Turkey Day performances at the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers game in Detroit. Later, Post Malone will take the stage as the Dallas Cowboys, playing at home, face off against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Lil Jon will perform at the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals matchup in Baltimore.
White and Malone shared the news in a pair of promo videos shared Sunday on Instagram, while Lil Jon’s appearance at M&T Bank Stadium was confirmed by the Ravens last week.
White’s Instagram reel was filmed at the White Stripes frontman’s Third Man Pressing Plant in Detroit, where an electric blue record “hot off the press” announces his Ford Field appearance.
Meanwhile, in Malone’s teaser, the “Circles” singer drives along a Texas highway as a voice on the radio advertises “the biggest matchup and one of the biggest artists of our time.”
“Bigger is always better. You know what I mean?” Malone asks Cowboys mascot Rowdy, riding shotgun, as the two haul a giant Salvation Army bucket in a big rig to AT&T Stadium. Once they arrive, they crash into a sign in general manager Jerry Jones’ parking spot and have a run-in with Cowboys place kicker Brandon Aubrey. Last year, Aubrey famously signed Malone’s jersey before a game against the New York Giants. The show will kick off the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Malone’s slot is fitting, given that the Grammy-nominated artist came of age in Texas and his father once managed concessions for the Cowboys.
Malone previously had a cameo in “Beyoncé Bowl,” last year’s Emmy-winning NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show, joining Queen Bey for their duet “Levii’s Jeans.”
