mcgrawAfter months of waiting for the naming of the performer for the XLV Countdown: Live From Cowboys Stadium, the announcement was just made. It’s going to be Tim McGraw (pictured).

It had been a secret with little hints given at the Sting concert that the final performer would be a multi-Grammy winner who had sold more than 40 million units. McGraw made the announcement today to a sold-out audience at Dallas’ Superpages.com Center, formerly known as Smirnoff Music Centre.

The Sept. 10 concert will also feature Fort Worth’s Van Cliburn with a historic tribute to the Dallas Cowboys’ 50th anniversary and a celebration of the career of newly-minted Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith.

Interestingly, McGraw’s wife, Faith Hill, kicked off the three-concert series at Bass Hall back in the spring.

  1. So how come the Super Bowl concerts featured 3 Anglo musicians?

  2. This is really confusing. So, he’s not the halftime performer? All this hype was for a 9/10 concert at Jerry World? Who’s performing at halftime? Is there enough hype left over to cover the run-up to that announcement? Did Gary Coleman fall or was he pushed? Dangit.

  3. @MowYourYard: The concert series leading up to the Super Bowl is being orchestrated by the local committee. Super Bowl halftime entertainment, like who tosses the coin, is in the hands of the NFL.
