Rolling Stones to perform at Super Bowl

Associated Press


DETROIT - The Rolling Stones will take a brief break from touring to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The rock 'n' roll greats will go on stage during the game Feb. 5 at Ford Field, the NFL said Tuesday.

"We are thrilled to perform for millions of fans at one of the most exciting and highly anticipated sporting events of the year," the band, which earlier in the day announced its European tour dates, said in a statement.

The Rolling Stones are currently touring North America to promote their latest album, "A Bigger Bang."

The NFL has a history of getting top acts for its halftime show.

Last season, the primary entertainer was former Beatle Paul McCartney.

That followed Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" in the 2004 game during a performance with Justin Timberlake.

They really need to let go of the whole rock star thing.

They should just get rid of halftime entirely. What a bunch of noodle armed choirboys to need half an hour to rest.

Like people care who lip syncs during half time.

farg the halftime show. I'm still pissed that they will never allow the game to be played in the elements. The Man cares more about the entertainment aspects than the game. bastiches.

The Stones....

Halftime is the only time during the Super Bowl that is completely uninteresting.  Depending on the year, the commercials are sometimes better than the game.

Paul McCartney last season, the Stones this season. Man, the NFL loves its geriatric Brits. Maybe my dad (drunken karaoke speciality "King of the Road") will headline next season.

The Stones?  I don't see myself hoping for a malfunction this time around.
