Not the first year EA Sports participated in the Super Bowl, in 2024, the company welcomed stars like Big Boi, Breland, Killer Mike, and Green Day to perform in Las Vegas. Wanting to add their name to the Super Bowl experience, John Reseburg, VP, Marketing, Partnerships, and Communications for EA Sports, said in a statement, “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.”
Even before the first performer took the stage, Reseburg couldn’t help but share his excitement about the Madden Bowl in New Orleans. “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.”
While promising an electric evening in New Orleans, Reseburg kept his word with Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, and Chris Stapleton offering a stellar performance. Speaking about his success over the last few years, Shaboozey loved every moment. “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.”
