TAMPA BAY, Fla. – The biggest halftime show in the world has chosen its next performer.
Canadian singer, songwriter, actor, and producer The Weekend will be the headlining act for the 2021 edition of the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Naturally, there is always a betting angle to find here. Some bettors might have cashed in on a pick for The Weeknd to be the next performer. Back in early spring, The Weekend was available for +2000 odds to be the next half time show via the major online sportsbooks.

While Taylor Swift, Adele, and Rihanna would have all been worthy choices, I’m sure there are few who are upset about the ‘Blinding Lights’ singer gracing the stage.
In terms of future Super Bowl betting props, there will certainly be a fair share of them surrounding The Weeknd’s show.
Likely props will include things like the total time of the performance, will The Weeknd play certain hit songs like “I Can’t Feel My Face” or “In The Night”, and which hairstyle the eclectic artist will be sporting.
The 2021 Super Bowl is set for Sunday, February 7 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida.
