The Super Bowl is more than just one of the biggest sporting occasions in the world.
The Super Bowl treads a fine balance between a prestigious sporting event and a celebrity spotter’s paradise.
Sure, the big game is a big deal. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in a bid to lift the most iconic trophy in US sports.
However, the trimmings, the sideshow, the carnival that envelopes the Super Bowl propel it far beyond sport into a whole new realm of entertainment.
Taylor Swift may claim all the headlines in the lead-up to the weekend, but the halftime show will dominated by another global music star on the night.
Usher will take centre-stage with the eyes of more than 100 million people in the US alone set to tune in and soak up some of his greatest hits. British fans will be determined to stay up for his big moment – but when will he emerge?

What time is the Super Bowl halftime show 2024?
The Super Bowl halftime show will take place on Sunday 11th February 2024, mid-way through the game, as the name suggests!
The game will kick off at 11:30pm UK time, this means that we can expect the halftime show to take place at approximately 1:15am in the early hours of Monday 12th February.
However, timings are very flexible due to the nature of the game. Everything hinges on what happens in the first two quarters. Keep an eye on the action from 12:30am onwards as the clock counts down to the halfway stage.
The halftime show typically lasts between 12 and 15 minutes as the football players take a break from the intensity of the game.
