Snoop Dogg, country music star Lainey Wilson and the voices behind this summer’s breakout animated hit “KPop Demon Hunters” will take the stage at U.S. Bank Stadium on Christmas Day for a halftime performance during the Vikings/Lions game.
The spectacle, hosted by Snoop, will be broadcast on Netflix as part of the streamer’s second year hosting the NFL on Christmas. The game starts at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
“We’re ready to drop it like it’s hot this holiday celebration,” Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, said in a news release.
Last year’s inaugural Christmas Day game on Netflix featured a Super Bowl-esque performance from Beyoncé.
While Netflix teased “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party” earlier this week, Wilson and the “Demon Hunters” singers were announced Friday.
“We’re servin’ up music, love and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy,” the Doggfather said in a news release. “That’s the kind of holiday magic Santa can’t fit in a bag.”
Snoop was last in Minnesota in May 2024, while Grammy-winning Wilson has played Twin Cities stadiums several years in a row; she was just in St. Paul in October.
The singers behind the fictional K-pop group HUNTR/X — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — have only performed live a few times since Netflix released “KPop Demon Hunters” earlier this year.
