Today, the Big 12 Conference announced that award-winning country music star Jon Pardi will perform at halftime of the 2025 Big 12 Football Championship on Sat., Dec. 6 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pardi will be joined during the performance by the marching bands from both participating institutions as the Big 12 continues to blend innovation with tradition.

“I’m so fired up to be part of the Big 12 Football Championship game this year — and to be the first country artist to do it makes it even more fun,” said Pardi. “It’s going to be a good time – we’re going to give fans an unforgettable show.”

Pardi, fresh off the release of his critically-acclaimed fifth album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD, has racked up six No. 1 singles — including his current Top 10 lead single “Friday Night Heartbreaker” — and over a decade of modernizing honky tonk with roaring guitars and an infectious, good-time spirit. His name has become closely tied to football, from performing at the College Football Playoff to having his “Night Shift” music video debut on ESPN as a lead-in to kick-off, and even announcing an NFL Draft pick for his beloved San Francisco 49ers.

The “Big 12 Day Pardi” at the Big 12 Football Championship will kickoff at 11 a.m. CT on Sat., Dec. 6 at the home of the Dallas Cowboys on ABC. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. CT on Thurs., August 14, exclusively via SeatGeek.

Tickets are priced across eight different levels, starting at $109 for general public. Each university who participates in the Big 12 Football Championship will be allotted 4,000 tickets, which will be made available upon qualification and distributed by the qualified member institutions’ ticket offices. Additionally, participating schools will be awarded 1,500 tickets for marching bands and students.

The first team to qualify for the game will occupy the home bench while the other will have the visiting team bench.

MCA Nashville artist Jon Pardi began careening down the highway over ten years ago, leading the charge to modernize honkytonk with roaring guitars and a good-time spirit. Pardi’s reputation for punchy, against-the-wind bravado has only grown, with his just-released fifth studio album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD led by the now Top 10 single “Friday Night Heartbreaker.” The 17-track album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits, once again showcasing his commitment to staying true to himself, yet giving his signature sound a new spark. With four Top 5 albums under his belt – including 2016’s Platinum #1, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE – Pardi has solidified his place in country music. Never afraid to break from the pack, fourteen RIAA-certified singles feature six No. One’s (like the back-to-back 6x-Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots”), and with years of blue-collar barnstorming behind him, the California native has earned his international headlining acclaim, alongside 9.3 billion global streams.
