When it comes to the AFC North, the Baltimore Ravens dominated the conference as they ended with a record of 12-5. Going into the NFL Wild Card round, the Ravens looked to continue their journey to the Super Bowl as they prepared to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although a classic division rivalry, Saturday’s game marked the first time the two teams met in the playoff since 2015. And with the Steelers losing their last four games of the regular season, they will look to find their way back to the winner’s side. But besides a thrilling matchup, the Ravens recently released the name of the group performing during the Halftime show.

For those who happened to snag a ticket at the game, the NFL looked to make the night special as each person in attendance would receive a special LED wristband. Even before the game is set to kick off, fans will watch the special bands light up the arena to introduce the Ravens. Besides the use of LEDs, fireworks will also be incorporated into the experience.
Wanting to bring a halftime performance that matched the team’s intensity, the Baltimore Ravens turned to the rock band All Time Low. Formed back in the early 2000s, the band gained success when releasing albums like The Party Scene, Last Young Renegade, and their latest, Tell Me I’m Alive.

The Baltimore Ravens Welcome Broadway Star For National Anthem
Outside of headlining several tours over the decades, All Time Low appeared at festivals like Reading and Leeds, Soundwave, and the Warped Tour. During the Halftime show, All Time Low will offer fans a special performance from the Bud Light Touchdown Club. Other performances throughout the game included Lindsey Stirling. The award-winning musician will perform during one of the quarter breaks.
With the game expected to host millions of viewers, the Baltimore Ravens also welcomed Broadway performer Samantha Pollino to the field. Given she studied at the Baltimore School for the Arts and appeared in musicals like Sweeney Todd and Hamilton, she seemed the perfect fit to sing the National Anthem.
