Will Kaskade be at the Super Bowl?

Following Tiësto’s unexpected withdrawal from his slated performance at the Super Bowl, electronic dance music luminary Kaskade has stepped in to take his place, marking a historic moment as the first in-game DJ for the renowned sporting event.

Tiësto, citing a “personal family emergency,” made the difficult decision to forego his Super Bowl appearance just hours before the event. Responding swiftly to the opportunity, Kaskade, also known as Ryan Raddon, expressed his excitement at the prospect of participating in such an iconic event, particularly given his personal connection to football and his ties to Las Vegas.

In a statement shared on X, Kaskade reflected on his upbringing in Chicago, where watching the NFL Super Bowl with his family was a cherished tradition. The chance to contribute to the spectacle as an integral part of the game experience was described by Kaskade as “absolutely mind-blowing.” With Las Vegas serving as his second home for the past decade, Kaskade emphasized his role in shaping the city’s vibrant music scene, making his involvement in the Super Bowl held in Las Vegas particularly meaningful.

As the first electronic musician to be featured during the Super Bowl game breaks, Kaskade sees this opportunity as a homecoming of sorts, expressing his enthusiasm for representing his community on such a grand stage.

During Super Bowl 2024, Kaskade will showcase his talent by spinning tunes during game breaks, with segments of his performance set to be broadcasted as part of the Super Bowl LVIII coverage on CBS.

While Tiësto expressed disappointment in having to miss the event he had prepared for meticulously, he emphasized that family takes precedence over professional commitments. Despite this setback, Tiësto expressed gratitude to the NFL for the opportunity and conveyed his eagerness to collaborate on future projects with the organization.

With Kaskade’s addition to the Super Bowl lineup, fans can anticipate an electrifying performance that adds a new dimension to the Super Bowl experience, further solidifying the event’s status as a cultural phenomenon.
