The NFL has announced a packed slate of musical talent for its 2025 Thanksgiving Day halftime shows, with Post Malone, Jack White, and Lil Jon each set to headline one of the league’s three holiday matchups.
Post Malone will take the stage at AT&T Stadium during the Dallas Cowboys vs. Kansas City Chiefs game. In a joint Instagram announcement, the Texas native appeared in Cowboys gear, driving a horned semi-truck into Dallas. “Our big secret’s out!” the Cowboys and The Salvation Army wrote. “The one and only @postmalone will ring in The Salvation Army’s #RedKettleKickoff at the Dallas Cowboys halftime show this Thanksgiving on CBS.”
Malone added, “how bout them cowboys?!!” and later said in a statement, “I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff and help bring hope to so many people.”
In Detroit, Jack White will headline the Lions–Packers halftime show at Ford Field. The hometown icon shared the news by posting a video of a blue vinyl record being pressed, with the label revealing the performance details. “Hot off the press,” he wrote. His appearance follows major halftime news for the city: Eminem and Paul Rosenberg have signed a multi-year partnership with the Lions to executive-produce the team’s Thanksgiving halftime shows from 2025 through 2027.
Closing out the day, Lil Jon will perform during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals night game at M&T Bank Stadium. Before heading to Baltimore, he will also appear at the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City earlier that morning.
With Post Malone representing Texas, Jack White rocking Detroit, and Lil Jon bringing the energy in Baltimore, the 2025 Thanksgiving Day games promise a full lineup of football and standout performances.
