The NFL is ready to get down to "business" for Super Bowl 58.
For the first time ever, the league is featuring an in-game DJ at the Super Bowl. It's not just any DJ either. The NFL is bringing out the big guns for the big game with Grammy winner Tiësto.
"I'm excited to be a part of the Super Bowl LVIII!" Tiësto said in a statement. "And it's even more incredible that it's in my favorite place — Las Vegas. Thank you to the NFL for having me. I cannot wait to party with you all at the big game!"

The 55-year-old DJ is scheduled to perform a set prior to the game during warmups, and he will play during featured breaks within the game as well.
"Each year, we look to elevate the in-stadium experience for our fans, and with our first Super Bowl in Las Vegas, it seems only fitting to embrace the legacy of iconic DJs in this city by having Tiësto bring his signature style to our biggest event," said Tim Tubito, the NFL's director of event presentation and content.
"As one of the most influential DJ/producers who helped define the culture of Las Vegas and electronic music around the world, Tiësto is the perfect artist to help us create an unforgettable game day experience for our fans, players and viewers everywhere."
