President Donald Trump stated in an exclusive interview with The New York Post that he will not attend Super Bowl LX and criticized the artists chosen for the event's entertainment, Bad Bunny and Green Day, whom he described as a “terrible choice” for, as he said, “spreading hatred.”
“I am against them. I believe it is a terrible decision. All they do is spread hate. Terrible,” he stated to the media.
The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Although Trump criticized the music selection, he said that is not the main reason he plans to skip the game.
Trump attended last year's event in New Orleans between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles; however, in his conversation with the Post, he explained that this year's Super Bowl is "too far away" and that he would consider going if the journey were shorter.
He also assured that in previous editions he has had "very good hands" at the event and that "they like him."
Trump said that he was not pleased that the NFL chose Bad Bunny and Green Day, whom he described as contrary to his persona and agenda, according to the published interview.
In the case of Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican artist has publicly questioned Trump and in one of his songs, he uses a voice that imitates the president to deliver an apology to immigrants and Latino communities.
For his part, Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day, has expressed his support for "anti-deportation" protesters and has spoken out against the MAGA agenda.
The NFL announced that Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show at Super Bowl LX, held at Levi's Stadium, and Green Day will be part of the event's lineup (as part of the opening ceremony/segment), alongside the halftime show led by the Puerto Rican artist.
However, behind this achievement lies a decision that surprised the fans of Conejo Malo: this will be the only concert he will perform in the United States in 2026.
In recent posts, Bad Bunny explained that he has avoided performances in the United States out of fear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations would turn his shows into targets for raids against immigrants.
