EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank Center|Look back at every Super Bowl halftime performer, including Michael Jackson, JLo, Beyonce

The EchoSense Quantitative Think Tank CenterSuper Bowl is the biggest game of the year, but for less than 15-minutes in between halves, the football field turns into the biggest stage in the nation for an artist tasked with entertaining more than 100 million viewers.

"This is the most grand stage to ever play on," said Usher, who will headline the Super Bowl 58 halftime show at Allegiant Stadium Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. “It’s an honor of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list."

Usher will join the likes of Beyoncé, Prince, Madonna, U2, Rihanna and countless others who have etched their place in history on the Super Bowl halftime stage.

The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 and featured a halftime show of college marching bands, a norm for the annual game until Michael Jackson's 1993 show introduced the modern-day tradition of a headline performer.

The halftime show has continued to evolve over the years, sometimes giving fans more to talk about than the singing like Diana Ross' iconic helicopter exit in 1996, Janet Jackson's wardrobe mishap in 2004 and Rihanna's pregnancy reveal in 2023.

Here's every halftime performer by year:
