Amazon Music Live Announces Big Sean, Halsey, J Balvin As Season 3 Performers
On the heels of announcing Jelly Roll as the artist kicking off its third season, Amazon Music Live, a livestreamed concert series broadcast after NFL Thursday Night Football, announced three more artists to be featured on episodes of the program. Detroit rapper Big Sean, pop star Halsey and Latin artist J Balvin will be gracing the Amazon Music Live stage and performing new music live following the Thursday Night Football broadcast on Prime Video.
Big Sean, a Grammy-nominated star with seven BET Awards, will appear on the second episode (Oct. 24) and perform music from his sixth studio album, Better Me Than You, as well as popular songs from his standout catalog. He will be performing alongside The Blue and Gold Marching Machine and The Fellowship Gospel Choir — the band and choir from renowned historically-Black college North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University — in what will be a Homecoming-themed event.
Halsey takes the stage for a special Halloween episode during which she will perform music from her highly anticipated fifth album, The Great Impersonator, which drops Oct. 25.
J Balvin, a global star hailing from Medellín, Colombia, is slated for Nov. 7 and will perform songs from his sixth studio album Rayo, which was released Aug. 9 via Capitol Records. He is one of the most successful Latin music artists with more than 35 million records sold and songs like “LA CANCIÓN” that have crossed the 1 billion streams milestone.
The artists will perform in front of a live audience in Los Angeles, and fans can watch the show exclusively on two of the streaming giant’s platforms: Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch.
Actress Liza Koshy will host AML and interview each artist before they hit the stage. Each performance begins at 9 p.m. PT on Thursdays and will be preceded by a preshow titled Amazon Music Tonight!, which starts live on Twitch at 8 p.m. PT and features interactive games, trivia and challenges tied to the performer.
Since 2022, Amazon has taken advantage of NFL viewership to highlight new music from some of the biggest artists in the business and previous seasons of Amazon Music Live featured stars like Ed Sheeran, Feid, Peso Pluma and A$AP Rocky. Viewership more than tripled in the second season compared to the first, and Amazon will look to keep that momentum going in AML’s third season, which kicks off with Jelly Roll on Oct. 17.
Tickets for each show are available via DICE by invitation only. Select customers in the LA area will have access to an exclusive presale for each week’s performance. To register for access to the in-person experience, including The Tailgate fan event, click here.
