Eric Church Wants Country Music to Take Over the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Nashville

Eric Church helped bring the Super Bowl to Nashville—and now he wants country music to have its moment on the biggest stage in sports.

Church was part of the committee that helped put together Nashville’s bid to host the 2030 Super Bowl, and when FOX Nashville asked him about the halftime show, he made one thing very clear:

He’s not campaigning for himself. He’s campaigning for country music.

Church said he wants to do everything he can to make sure country music is represented when the Super Bowl comes to Music City.

And there’s a reason this matters.

The last time country music had the Super Bowl halftime stage to itself was back in 1994, when Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, and The Judds performed together.

That’s more than three decades ago.

Now Nashville has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change that.

The 2030 Super Bowl will be the first ever held in Nashville, taking place at the new Nissan Stadium.

With Nashville being the heart of country music, Church believes the halftime show should reflect the city’s identity.

And if he gets his way, the world could be watching some of country music’s biggest stars take over the Super Bowl stage in 2030.

Could Nashville finally give country music the halftime show it’s been waiting for?
