Eminem taps Jack White for the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Halftime performance Posted on November 16, 2025 By Remy Gelenidze Jack White will headline the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving halftime show Nov. 27, becoming the first artist booked for the holiday classic under the team’s new partnership with Eminem.For the Detroit-bred rocker, who’s fresh off his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction with the White Stripes, the nationally televised halftime set will be his first-ever performance at Ford Field. White’s selection, announced Sunday, comes on the heels of last week’s news that Eminem and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, have been tapped by the Lions to program the annual Thanksgiving show through 2027.The performance will be produced by L.A.-based Jesse Collins Entertainment, which also oversaw last year’s star-studded Michigan Central train station reopening concert in Detroit. Eminem and Rosenberg were producers of that Ford-sponsored event, which featured White and his band in a leading role. For the first time, the Lions will partner with Feeding America “and invite people watching at home to make a monetary donation to help ensure everyone has access to the food they need to gather around full tables this holiday season,” the Lions announced in a news release.Eminem has become one of the Lions’ most prominent celebrity fans and is a familiar sight at Ford Field during the NFL season. The Lions will play the Green Bay Packers in the latest installment of the 90-year-old Thanksgiving tradition. The game will air nationally on Fox at 1 p.m. this year instead of its longtime 12:30 p.m. start.[VIA] RECENT RELATED ARTICLESEminem spotted at Ford Field for Lions vs Steelers gameDecember 22, 2025Jack White brings out Eminem at Detroit Lion’s Halftime ShowNovember 28, 2025Eminem and Paul Rosenberg to serve as executive producers of Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Halftime ShowNovember 13, 2025Eminem opens up the 2024 NFL Draft in DetroitApril 25, 2024Eminem to appear at the 2024 NFL Draft in DetroitApril 19, 2024Eminem says he’s working on new music, threatens Ben Johnson with diss song if he leaves Detroit LionsJanuary 28, 2024 Detroit LionsEminemJack White
