Super Bowl weekend is always an action-packed weekend every year, and the lineup of events just got even more exciting. On Feb. 7, Super Bowl Soulful Celebration will commemorate its 25th Anniversary with a star-studded live event. Earth, Wind & Fire, Kirk Franklin, and Mary Mary are the first wave of performers announced that will grace the main stage that evening.

“Super Bowl Soulful Celebration is the ONLY inspirational music event sanctioned by the NFL for Super Bowl weekend,” reads an official description on the Soulful Celebration website. “This uplifting concert brings NFL players & award-winning musical artists together on one stage for an evening of joy and praise at the Biggest Game on Earth!”

The taping will take place at the Pearl Theater in the Palms Casino Resort and CBS will broadcast the one-hour special on Feb. 10 (8 p.m. ET). Tickets can be purchased now on Ticketmaster.

A long roster of talent is set to join the artists, with The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer and Tichina Arnold serving as hosts and Adam Blackstone directing the event. Also performing will be The Players Choir, an ensemble of NFL talent that has been a staple for the league’s past 16 seasons.

In related news, NFL also recently announced the pregame show entertainment for Super Bowl LVIII with a lineup including Andra Day, Post Malone, and Reba McEntire. Andra Day is set to deliver a rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and Post Malone is slated to perform “America the Beautiful.”

Usher is taking the main stage for the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, which he has called a “performance 30 years in the making.” Revisit his trailer for the highly anticipated, career-defining set down below.
