The official trailer for the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show has been released.

In October last year, it was announced that Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J Blige, and Kendrick Lamar will perform together during the sporting event at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on 13 February.

A three-minute trailer for their joint performance has now been released.

All five artists feature in the clip in individual scenes that end with each musician receiving a text on their phone.

Eminem is the first to appear followed by Snoop Dogg, who is seen in a car. This is accompanied by shots of Mary J Blige during a photo shoot, Kendrick Lamar writing lyrics on paper, and finally Dr Dre walking on a beach.

The concluding scene sees all five artists walking together towards the SoFi stadium.

The five musicians together have a combined 44 Grammy Awards. Eminem leads with 15 trophies.

Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Blige, and Lamar join a list of celebrated musicians who have played during Super Bowl halftime shows, including Beyoncé, Madonna, Coldplay, Katy Perry, U2, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira.
