According to Billboard...
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will play the coveted halftime slot at
the Super Bowl in Arizona on Feb. 3. This year, nearly 140 million
Americans watched Prince play at the football extravaganza.
Other recent acts have included the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and
U2. The most infamous performer was Janet Jackson, who bared her
breast during the 2004 event, triggering a bipartisan political
crackdown on televised smut.
The National Football League's annual championship game will be held
at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, near
Phoenix. It will be televised by Fox.
Petty's performance will mark a rare occasion where the veteran rocker
is closely aligned with a corporate sponsor, in this case the North
American arm of Japanese tire firm Bridgestone Corp, which has lent
its name to the halftime event
.
