Chris Willman Music WriterThe phrases “music festival” and “Super Bowl” didn’t always seem like they should be naturally conjoined, but in an era where halftime performers get as much scrutiny as which teams make the finals, it’s made sense to draw out the musical parts of the annual festivities as much as possible, even if it’s just for in-person visitors and not worldwide television consumption. And so for the third time in four years (minus one pandemic time-out), the game’s host city is also getting a three-night Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest, aimed at luring locals as well as out-of-towners with diverse double-headliner bills.At L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena (which was still called Staples Center when the lineup was revealed in November), Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly provide the action on Thursday, the first night.
