Amidst controversy regarding the national anthem protests, securing performers for the event proved challenging. Even so, world-famous band Maroon 5 has agreed to headline the show, while rapper Big Boi of OutKast fame is also set to perform alongside them. Travis Scott also agreed to perform after the NFL agreed to make donations to charities in a show of support to Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement.
