Bad Bunny will hit the stage next month in honor of the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. The Puerto Rican superstar will be joined by artists like Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Miley Cyrus for “Homecoming Concert” in New York City.
SNL originally debuted on NBC on October 11, 1975. As part of the iconic comedy show’s 50th anniversary celebrations, NBC released the four-part docu-series SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night earlier this month. Another documentary by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and Oz Rodriguez followed called Ladies & Gentlemen … 50 Years of SNL Music, which highlighted the show’s musical guests.
Now some of those guests that previously performed on SNL will celebrate the show’s legacy in a concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. And SNL showrunner Lorne Michaels and Mark Ronson assembled many of the show’s past musical guests for “Homecoming Concert.”
The three-hour long concert will take place on February 14. Bad Bunny is among the stellar line-up of artists that will perform at the concert. He first appeared on SNL in 2020 during the “Live at Home” special in the sketch “Big Dominican Lunch with Big Papi” with Kenan Thompson. Since then, Bad Bunny has served as a musical guest twice on the show. In 2023, he pulled double duty as a host and musical guest in one episode where Pedro Pascal, Lady Gaga, and Mick Jagger appeared as special guests.
Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga will reunite again at the “Homecoming Concert.” Other artists confirmed to perform include Cyrus, Post Malone, the Backstreet Boys, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Jack White, and Robyn. The line-up is so far rounded out by David Byrne, Eddie Vedder, DEVO, Brittany Howard, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Jelly Rolly, the B-52s, and the Roots.
The concert will be live-streamed on Peacock on February 14 at 8 p.m. EST. The special will also be shown in fan screenings at select IMAX theaters at Regal Cinemas in California, Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, and Florida.
