Big Boi will join Maroon 5 for the halftime show at Super Bowl LIII, the NFL revealed Sunday.

Also known as Antwan Andre Patton, Big Boi is one half of the famed Atlanta-based hip hop duo Outkast.

It’s been known for a while that Maroon 5 would perform at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during the Feb. 3 game, but the accompanying acts have been up in the air.

Joining Big Boi and Maroon 5 in the halftime show will be Travis Scott. The NFL announced the development on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

Up until recently large music acts seemed reluctant to commit to the Super Bowl gig.
