The NFL announced Thursday that the Super Bowl Halftime show in Tampa next February will be hosted by popular rapper The Weeknd. While he was a great choice with a lot of memorable hits, there are still other performances that haven't gotten the chance to take the biggest stage in music.
Here are five performances that would be absolutely electric:
OutKast: For some strange reason the NFL hasn't landed OutKast for the Super Bowl Halftime show and the world is missing out. Come on now. Roses, Hey Ya, Ms. Jackson, The Way You Move. OutKast was created for the biggest stage in music. The fact they haven't been invited is a travesty the NFL needs to fix as soon as possible so the fans get a legendary performance for the ages.
OutKast - Hey Ya!
Fleetwood Mac: This has been a big year for Fleetwood Mac and it would be shocking to not see them and the tattooed, cranberry-juice-drinking skateboarding TIkTok guy on stage in Tampa alongside The Weeknd as they perform Dreams. Follow it up with Go Your Own Way and a couple other hits and you're good to go.
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
Drake: Who doesn't like Drake? Exactly. The Canadian phenom is arguably the most popular rapper. in the world and has hits across the board with high-profile collaborations that would get everyone in the stadium on their feet.
Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem - Forever (Explicit Version)
This can be the playlist; Started From the Bottom gets it going, then bring out Kanye West, Eminem, and Lil Wayne for a rendition of Forever, and then Drake and Wayne perform Right Above It, then after the game, cut the camera to a stage with Drake, Roger Goodell and the Lombardi while Drake performs Trophies. You're welcome.
Imagine Dragons: Everyone loves Imagine Dragons. If someone tells you they don't, they're lying. ID has every hit that would crush at the Super Bowl. From "Demons, On Top of the World, Thunder, Radioactive, to Whatever it Takes, they would be a terrific choice for any Super Bowl Half Time show. If you want to take it to the next level, bring out Kendrick Lamar for the remix of Radioactive, and people will forget that they're at a football game.

If Las Vegas' own aren't performing at Allegiant Stadium when they host for the first time, the NFL is doing something wrong.
Foo Fighters: Foo Fighters would be a great choice. They have fans of all ages and just killed it during their performance last Saturday as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Start it off with Learn to Fly, throw in The Pretender, and cap it off with Everlong, that'd be one heck of a show.
Foo Fighters- Everlong
