Super Bowl weekend fun begins with a tribute to hip hop in the Big Apple Jan. 30 called “The Roots Present Hip Hop NYC.” Curated by The Roots, the event hosted by EA Sports and Bud Light will feature Run DMC, Busta Rhymes and special guests.   

Next up is the “Pandora Presents” party starring Imagine Dragons Jan. 31.

Before the big game starts Feb. 2, Fall Out Boy and Jake Owen will take the stage at Pepsi and Bud Light’s pre-game concert.

The Super Bowl Gospel Celebration is set for Jan. 31 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. The 15th annual event will feature Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin, Patti LaBelle, Natalie Grant and Tamela Mann.
