NEW YORK — Big Boi and Travis Scott will join Maroon 5 in the Super Bowl halftime show.
Maroon 5 had been the widely reported halftime show act since September, but the NFL officially announced the band as its headliner Sunday. The league says Maroon 5 will feature guest artists, including Big Boi (the Atlanta-based rapper from Outkast) and Scott.
Many acts have turned down this year’s halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick and other players who have taken a knee during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice. There is an online petition urging Maroon 5 to withdraw from the gig.
The Super Bowl is Feb. 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; it will be broadcast by CBS.
