SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 What can viewers expect from Bad Bunny\u2019s<\/a> highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance? So far, all we know is that he\u2019s expected to perform solely in Spanish, bringing Latin identity at the center of America\u2019s most-watched television event.<\/p>\n

But Bad Bunny could reveal more details Thursday in San Francisco when the Grammy winner speaks ahead of Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Apple Music\u2019s Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden will interview Bad Bunny and pregame performers<\/a> beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific time on Thursday. The Puerto Rican superstar has become one of the world\u2019s most streamed artists with albums such as \u201cUn Verano Sin Ti\u201d and \u201cDeb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos,\u201d<\/a> which won album of year at Grammys<\/a> Sunday night. It\u2019s the first time an all Spanish-language album<\/a> has taken home the top prize.<\/p>\n

Last year, Bad Bunny\u2019s historic Puerto Rico residency<\/a> drew more than half a million fans. <\/p>\n

Apple Music will broadcast the interview on its platform<\/a> and social media sites like YouTube and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The pregame media session might reveal some details about the performance, but headliners often keep a few secrets. Rihanna sure did, waiting until her Super Bowl performance in 2023 to reveal she was pregnant<\/a> with her second child.<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl will be held Sunday at the Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, with the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the New England Patriots. <\/p>\n

Who else is performing at the Super Bowl?<\/p>\n

The Super Bowl pregame show will open with several standout performers in Northern California: Charlie Puth<\/a> will hit the stage to sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile<\/a> will take on \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d and Coco Jones<\/a> will sing \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The national anthem and \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing\u201d will be performed by deaf performing artist Fred Beam in American Sign Language. Julian Ortiz will sign \u201cAmerica the Beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the game, Green Day will play a set to celebrate the 60th anniversary<\/a> of the Super Bowl. The band, which has its roots in the Bay Area, plans to \u201cGet loud!\u201d according to lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.<\/p>\n

In a historic first, the halftime show will include a multilingual signing program featuring Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme. All signed performances for the pregame and halftime shows will be presented in collaboration with Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality.<\/p>\n
