DETROIT – The Detroit Lions have announced that Jack White will headline the Thanksgiving Day halftime show on Nov. 27.
This marks the first artist booking under the team’s new partnership with Eminem, who, along with his manager Paul Rosenberg, will serve as executive producers of the Thanksgiving halftime show through 2027.

Eminem and Rosenberg previously executive-produced the Michigan Central Station concert last summer, which featured Eminem closing the event with four songs.
For White, a Detroit native, this halftime performance will be his first-ever appearance at Ford Field.

Fresh off his recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with The White Stripes, White’s performance is expected to bring an authentic Detroit sound to one of the NFL’s most-watched events.
In addition to White’s performance, the Lions announced that Detroit-born gospel singer CeCe Winans will perform the national anthem.
Between the game and the halftime show, it will be an action-packed Thanksgiving.
