The NFL Berlin halftime show just got a serious upgrade. The league has confirmed that GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum global star The Kid LAROI will take centre stage on November 9, 2025, during the Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis Colts matchup at Berlin’s iconic Olympiastadion.
And this won’t be your run-of-the-mill mid-game performance. The NFL Berlin halftime show will unfold dramatically across the stadium’s historic Olympic Steps—an architectural stage fit for a spectacle of this scale.
“I’m hyped to be performing for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Berlin, and I know the energy at the stadium is going to be epic,” said The Kid LAROI. “It’s an honour to be part of this history-making event and bring my music to such passionate fans. We’re going to make this a day the city won’t forget.”
At just 21, The Kid LAROI has already achieved what most artists dream of—a mountain of global chart-toppers, billions of streams, and a fanbase that spans continents.
Known for hits that blend emotional punch with pop precision, he’s now bringing his electrifying presence to a city that knows how to party when sport meets music.
“Bringing an artist of The Kid LAROI’s caliber to the first regular-season NFL game in Berlin underscores our commitment to delivering world-class entertainment,” said Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL.
“The energy that he and his music bring perfectly matches the passionate atmosphere created by our incredible German fans. This halftime show should add yet another layer to an already exciting day of sport and entertainment.”
The league is going all-out for its Berlin debut. Before kickoff, local vocal group the German Gents will perform the German National Anthem, followed by Norma Jean Martine, who will sing the U.S. National Anthem.
“We are incredibly proud to be the local artists welcoming the NFL to Berlin by performing our country’s National Anthem,” said the German Gents. “This is a monumental day for German sports fans and a historic moment for the city. We can’t wait to feel the electric, passionate atmosphere as we celebrate the game.”
“As an American artist with close ties to Berlin, singing the U.S. National anthem at the NFL’s first regular-season game in the city is a huge honour,” said Norma Jean. “I am excited to be part of such an exciting event and share this unforgettable moment with the passionate fans in the stadium and watching at home.”
And it’s not just about the main acts. Fans can expect plenty of live entertainment throughout the day, including performances by Inter-Jam, the house band keeping spirits high at the Olympiastadion.
The 2025 NFL Berlin game, presented by DKB, marks another step in the league’s mission to grow American football across Germany. With sold-out stadiums, fever-pitch fan enthusiasm, and a growing grassroots movement through programs like NFL Flag, the sport is rapidly embedding itself into European sporting culture.
So, when The Kid LAROI hits those first notes on the Olympic Steps this November, it won’t just be a halftime show—it’ll be a statement. The NFL has arrived in Berlin, and it’s here to stay.
