Sting to Headline Pre-Super Bowl Concert at Levi’s Stadium Week in San Francisco

Sting will headline a special pre-Super Bowl LX concert in San Francisco ahead of next year’s big game at Levi’s Stadium. The Grammy-winning icon is set to perform on February 6, 2026, at the Palace of Fine Arts as part of the NFL’s official Super Bowl LX Studio 60 concert series.

The event is produced by the NFL in partnership with On Location, its official hospitality provider. It aims to build excitement leading up to Super Bowl LX, which will be held February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Sting Levi’s Stadium Super Bowl Concert Details

Tickets for Sting’s pre-Super Bowl concert start at $750, according to the event listing. The show promises to feature appearances by “NFL Legends,” making it one of the most exclusive fan experiences during Super Bowl week.

“We’re thrilled to partner with On Location and deliver a one-of-a-kind experience for fans,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL Executive Vice President of Events, International and Club Business, in a statement. “Sting is a legendary artist with a timeless catalog, and we know fans will have an incredible time seeing his performance ahead of the biggest game of the year.”

Sting’s upcoming performance follows his 2024 Bay Area appearances — two nights at the Masonic and earlier collaborations with the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall. For the February 2026 concert, he’ll be joined by longtime guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, part of his current touring band.

More Big Names Join Super Bowl Week Festivities

Sting’s show comes just days after country star Chris Stapleton was announced for a February 7 concert at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. That performance — featuring Sierra Ferrell — will open the Bay Area Host Committee’s BAHC Live! Concert Series, with proceeds benefiting Tipping Point Community, a San Francisco nonprofit focused on poverty reduction.

The NFL’s strategy this year is to turn Super Bowl week into a multi-day festival celebrating music, culture, and sport. Fans can expect further announcements in coming weeks as more acts are confirmed for Studio 60 and BAHC Live events across the Bay Area.

Super Bowl LX and Cultural Tension Surrounding Halftime Show

While excitement builds around Sting and Stapleton’s performances, the NFL continues to navigate controversy over Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. Critics — including former President Donald Trump and his supporters — have voiced concerns about the Puerto Rican artist’s Spanish-language set and political activism. The league has not responded to the backlash, focusing instead on celebrating its largest entertainment line-up to date.

With Sting’s return to the Bay Area and a star-studded Super Bowl week ahead, San Francisco is set to become the center of music and sports celebration in February 2026.
