EA SPORTS Madden Bowl: A Night Where Music and Football Collide

Get ready for an epic night of music and sports as EA SPORTS Presents Madden Bowl takes center stage at the iconic Orpheum Theater in New Orleans on Friday, Feb. 7. Happening just two days before Super Bowl LIX at the Caesars Superdome, this star-studded event promises to be an electrifying kickoff to the biggest weekend in football.

Headlining the night are Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, Chris Stapleton, and rising star Tucker Wetmore, who will bring a blend of country, hip-hop, and soul to the Madden Bowl stage. Adding a unique local flavor to the evening is an appearance by Trombone Shorty and the New Breed Brass Band, ensuring the rich musical traditions of New Orleans are well-represented.

The event is a celebration of the synergy between music and sports. EA SPORTS Vice President John Reseburg says it best: “EA SPORTS is a cornerstone of Super Bowl Week, and we’re bringing together fans, music, athletes, esports, and Madden in an unforgettable celebration of football.”

This year’s headliners have been making waves across genres. Shaboozey, whose hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” spent an astounding 19 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, is poised to bring his infectious energy. Jelly Roll, fresh off his Billboard 200 debut with Beautifully Broken, continues his breakout year after a memorable NFL Thanksgiving halftime show. Chris Stapleton remains a powerhouse, with his hit “White Horse” dominating the Country Airplay charts, while newcomer Tucker Wetmore is turning heads with his rising single “Wind Up Missin’ You.”

Building on the success of last year’s Madden Bowl in Las Vegas, which featured Big Boi, Green Day, and others, this year’s event promises even bigger thrills.

Whether you’re a fan of music, esports, or football, Madden Bowl 2025 is the perfect prelude to Super Bowl LIX. Don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable night where chart-topping hits meet the love of the game in the heart of New Orleans.
