Last week, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium booked country star Chris Stapleton for the night before the game. On Tuesday, the NFL got in on the action, announcing a Sting concert on the Friday of Super Bowl weekend. According to a news release, the singer-songwriter, whose real name is Gordon Sumner, will headline the league's Super Bowl concert series, although there's no information out there about the rest of the series.

Shortly after having to cancel shows in Hollywood, Florida due to illness, Stapleton announced the San Francisco show at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, which is happening Saturday, February 7, 2026, with "special guest" Sierra Farrell. The show is being sponsored by the Bay Area Host Committee (BAHC) for the Super Bowl, and part of the proceeds will go to Mayor Daniel Lurie's poverty-fighting nonprofit, Tipping Point Community.
