Sting is in talks to headline a “tailgate” concert at the Super Bowl this year, according to Page Six.

During the set, he is believed to perform a song from his recent reggae collaborator Shaggy. A source close to the league said that the concert would be at a different site than the US Bank Stadium, where the game will be played.

Justin Timberlake’s playing halftime, with Pink singing the national anthem and Leslie Odom Jr. crooning “America the Beautiful.” A source said that it’s still unclear as to whether the Sting-headlined show will be televised, but it could potentially boost ratings as a lead-in. For the past four years, halftime performances have drawn more viewers than actual playing time.
