(NASHVILLE) — Super Bowl LXIV is heading to Music City.
Nashville, Tennessee, will host the final game of the 2029-2030 NFL season at the new Nissan Stadium, the National Football League announced Tuesday.
This marks the first time Nashville will play host to the big game, where it will welcome football fans from far and wide for the season finale.
“The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville was one of the greatest fan events in our history,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.
“Super Bowl LXIV at the new stadium is the next step in this remarkable football journey,” he continued. “We can’t wait to put on an unforgettable show in 2030.”
He also thanked the Tennessee Titans and their controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk for hosting the Super Bowl.
The 2019 draft held in Nashville brought in 600,000 fans.
“We are thrilled that the new Nissan Stadium will host Nashville’s first Super Bowl in 2030,” Strunk said in a statement. “This is an exciting moment for our city and our entire state. We cannot wait for our community to experience an event of this magnitude and for the world to see the energy, hospitality, and culture that make our city so special on a global stage.”
The announcement was made at the NFL Spring League meeting taking place in Orlando and was the result of a “vote by full ownership.”
Nissan Stadium is scheduled to open in 2027.
The final steel beam of the stadium was raised in November 2025 and commemorated in a ceremony attended by Goodell.
Los Angeles, Atlanta and Las Vegas will also host future Super Bowls.

Rush is getting ready to hit the road for their first tour since drummer Neil Peart’s death, with Anika Nilles filling in behind the drum kit.
The band stopped touring in 2015 due to Peart’s health. In a new interview with Guitar World, frontman Geddy Lee says after Peart passed in 2020, there plenty of drummers interested in taking over his job — and some were a little too anxious.
“People who are close to us – good friends that are successful drummers – would never infer something like that because they have too much respect, not only for Neil and for the situation,” Lee tells the mag. “They were grieving as well, so they wouldn’t be so selfish as to say something inappropriate like that.”
But, he adds, “there were many other drummers who reached out to me in the aftermath of Neil’s passing that were pushing themselves, and that was most distasteful to me. It was completely inappropriate timing.”
Rush is set to launch their Fifty Something tour with a four-night run in Los Angeles starting June 7. The North American leg wraps Dec. 17 in Vancouver, followed by dates in South America, the U.K. and Europe. The complete touring schedule can be found at Rush.com.

After “drop dead,” the first single from her new album, hit #1, Olivia Rodrigo is going to see if she can do it again with a second track from the project.
She’s releasing “the cure” on Friday, and you can presave it now. You can also preorder 7-inch vinyl and cassette versions on her webstore. Those physical versions include an exclusive bonus song called “never do.”
Liv wrote on Instagram, “it’s my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made. couldn’t be more excited for you guys to hear it.”
The lyrics of the song were teased as part of two wall murals. One read, “why can’t you come stitch me up?” and the other read, “it’ll never be the cure.”
Both “the cure” and “drop dead” are from Olivia’s new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which is out June 12.
It’s worth noting that in addition to having a song called “the cure,” Olivia has a connection to Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Cure. Last year, she duetted with The Cure singer Robert Smith at the Glastonbury Festival, and in “drop dead” she name-checks their song “Just Like Heaven.”
The Offspring frontman Dexter Holland delivered an address to graduating students during the 2026 commencement ceremony for the University of Southern California’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
In his remarks, Holland spoke about his experience as a Triple Trojan, meaning he’s received three degrees from USC: a bachelor’s in biological sciences in 1988, a master’s in molecular biology in 1990 and a Ph.D. in molecular biology in 2017.
“I hope that throughout your life, you achieve things so cool and so legit that you, too, like me, stop and wonder whether this is really happening,” Holland said. “Don’t just choose a career, choose a life that’s as messy and as brilliant as you are.”

(SAN DIEGO) — Three men, one of whom was a security guard, were killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego on Monday, authorities said, with investigators saying they are currently considering the incident as a hate crime.
Two suspects, aged 17 and 18, were reported dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds, police said.
Authorities are investigating two teenagers, Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez, as the suspected attackers in the shooting, a number of sources told ABC News.
The shooting was reported shortly before noon Monday, police said.
Police are investigating a potential motive but said the shooting is currently being considered as a hate crime.
“There was definitely hate rhetoric that was involved,” San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said during a Monday press briefing.
Anti-Islamic writings were found in the vehicle with the two teens, sources told ABC News.
About two hours before the shooting at the mosque, San Diego police received a call involving one of the suspects, about a runaway juvenile, according to Wahl. The teen’s mother reported that “several of her weapons” and her vehicle were missing, he said. The mother also found a note, Wahl said, the contents of which the police chief did not share.
The mother told police that her son was with another individual and that they were both “dressed in camo,” Wahl said.
Officers were attempting to track down the vehicle and dispatched police to a mall and to a school with which one of the teens was associated, when the shooting at the mosque was reported, he said.
The Islamic Center of San Diego says it is the largest mosque in San Diego County.
“We have never experienced a tragedy like this before,” Taha Hassan, Imam and Director of Islamic Center of San Diego, said of the center at a news conference.
Hassan said he’s sending “prayers and standing in solidarity with all the families in our community here, and also the other mosques, and all the places of worship in our beautiful city.”
“It is extremely outrageous to target a place of worship. Our Islamic center is a place of worship. People come to the Islamic center to pray, to celebrate, to learn, not only Muslims, but we have people from all walks of life,” Hassan added.
“The religious intolerance and the hate, unfortunately, that exists in our nation is unprecedented,” Hassan said.
“We strongly condemn this horrifying act of violence,” Tazheen Nizam, the executive director of the San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this attack. No one should ever fear for their safety while attending prayers or studying at an elementary school.”
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria told ABC News that “we immediately have increased patrols around religious sites, both our Muslim, Jewish and other faith communities across the city. And I imagine we’ll maintain that posture for some time.”
“[I] believe that once the investigation is complete that that security guard will be credited with a tremendous saving of many, many lives, including many children, an absolute hero who sadly lost his life, but for whom we’re all grateful,” Gloria said.
“Hate has no home in San Diego. Islamophobia has no home in San Diego,” the mayor said during a press conference.

(LONDON) — Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing on Tuesday ahead of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Putin was welcomed by Chinese officials, including Foreign Minister Wang Yi, upon landing late Tuesday local time at an airport in Beijing.
On Wednesday, talks between Putin and Xi are set to occur at the Grand Hall of the People, followed by a formal reception, according to the Kremlin.
The two leaders “will discuss China-Russia relations, cooperation in various fields and international and regional issues of mutual interest,” the spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The state visit marks Putin’s 25th trip to China, according to the spokesperson.
The two discussed the U.S. war in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, fentanyl and increasing Chinese purchases of American farm products, according to a White House official.
Xi also warned that if the issue of Taiwan is handled “improperly,” the two nations could “come into conflict,” according to China’s official state broadcaster Xinhua.
