In 2025, the Lions played two high-profile halftime shows, with Jack White and Eminem performing on Thanksgiving and The Temptations on December 4th.
This is not the first time Snoop Dogg has performed at an NFL halftime show. He has performed at the Super Bowl 56 halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, alongside hip-hop stars Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Anderson .Paak and 50 Cent. This time, however, the dog dad will take center stage in his own show.
