Ludacris and the Chainsmokers have been named the headliners for this year’s Sports Illustrated Super Bowl party in San Francisco.
Next month, the NFL is headed to the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, and there will be fan parties throughout the city.
On Wednesday, Sports Illustrated announced its big plans for this year’s Super Bowl festivities.
SI The Party Presented by DraftKings returns for Big Game Weekend 2026, taking over San Francisco’s historic Cow Palace on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
This year, SI The Party will feature headlining performances from The Chainsmokers, Ludacris, DJ Irie & Xandra, plus a lineup of special guests and surprise moments throughout the night. Blending chart-topping electronic, hip-hop, and open-format DJ sets, the night will unfold as a high-energy, genre-spanning experience. The Chainsmokers, the Grammy Award-winning duo behind global hits like “Closer” and “Don’t Let Me Down,” will bring their signature high-energy electronic set that seamlessly blends pop, dance, and festival-level production.
Ludacris, the multi-platinum hip-hop icon and cultural force, will deliver a performance packed with chart-topping anthems and unmistakable Southern swagger. DJ Irie, the Miami-based DJ and official DJ of the Miami Heat, will set the tone with an open-format set that fuses hip-hop, electronic, and global sounds, while rising DJ and producer Xandra brings her bold, genre-defying style and high-octane stage presence to round out the night’s electrifying lineup.
Past guest lists have spanned global names across entertainment and tech from Jeff Bezos and Leonardo DiCaprio to Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Alex Rodriguez, and Patrick Mahomes.
SI The Party has consistently put on some of the biggest events during Super Bowl week.
“Across Big Game Weekend and other tentpole moments on the world’s biggest sporting stages, our vision with SI The Party has always been to deliver hospitality that feels intimate and insider, even at the largest events in the world, creating the most unforgettable night of Big Game Weekend where the energy and star power of sports truly comes to life off the field,” said Matt Goldstein, EVP of Authentic Live, the live events division of Authentic and co producer of the event.
