“EA SPORTS is a cornerstone of Super Bowl Week, and on Friday at Super Bowl LIX we’re bringing together fans, music, athletes, esports, and Madden in an unforgettable celebration of football,” said John Reseburg, VP, Marketing, Partnerships, and Communications for EA SPORTS. “New Orleans is one of the greatest and most passionate sports cities in the world, and with a line-up including Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, and more, this is going to be an absolutely electric night at EA SPORTS Presents Madden Bowl.”

“2024 was an unforgettable year for me with a lot of highs, including performing at a NFL halftime show on Thanksgiving. Now I can't wait to keep the party going with EA SPORTS and football fans from all over at Madden Bowl,” said Shaboozey

Immediately following EA SPORTS Presents Madden Bowl is the exclusive EA SPORTS 99 Club After Party, which will feature an intimate set from an undisputed music icon who will bring the swagger to the stage. 99 is the highest rating given by EA SPORTS to elite athletes based on their real-world performance.
