The Boss Will Rock Super Bowl

Springsteen to perform at halftime

Share

(Newser) – Another Super Bowl, another rock superstar at halftime. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show in Tampa, Fla., on Feb. 1, reports the AP. Since 2004's debacle, the big game's halftime performers have been oldies but goodies—the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Prince, and Tom Petty—who don't run the risk of Janet Jackson-style wardrobe malfunctions.
