Burna Boy Halftime Setlist Predictions
No setlist has been released. These are just guesses, based on some of his best-known songs.
- "Last Last": our guess for a big singalong moment.
- "Ye": a likely crowd favorite.
- "City Boys": a guess for an opener or closer with stadium energy.
Halftime sets are short, so expect a quick run of hits, not a full concert. We'll swap these guesses for the real songs when they're confirmed.
Why Is Burna Boy at Stade de France a Big Deal?
This is a first for the NFL in France, and Paris is already special for Burna Boy. In April 2025, he became the first African artist to headline a solo concert at Stade de France. He sold all 80,000 tickets.
Now he's back in the same stadium for a much bigger TV audience. He said of Paris: "Paris gave me one of the biggest nights of my career."
It's also one of a record 7 halftime shows across the 2026 NFL International Games. (More: Jay-Z's sold-out stadium run in London. And: how global stars reach the world's biggest stages.)
