Before the Super Bowl halftime show became the spectacle it is today, it was often a simple mix of marching bands and variety acts. Over time, it evolved into one of the most-watched musical events in the country, delivering unforgettable moments, cultural milestones and no shortage of controversy.
From Carol Channing and Bob Hope to Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, each performance has captured the spirit of its era.

Before Lamar delivers what's sure to be a showstopping set, take a look back at some of the most memorable Super Bowl halftime performances of all time.
