Inside the star-studded Super Bowl 2025 parties, concerts and events

The NFL’s 2025 Super Bowl weekend is well underway, and Page Six is on the ground in New Orleans to help bring the big game — and all the star-studded parties and concerts — to our readers.

Before the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome Sunday, stars and athletes alike will be attending various events in the Big Easy.

Be sure to bookmark this article, as we will be updating it throughout the weekend with all the celebrity guests we’ve spotted during Big Game Weekend.

THURSDAY

Page Six kicked off our Super Bowl festivities by attending the prestigious NFL Honors red carpet held at the Saenger Theatre.

While there, we caught up with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi Martin, who gushed about all the excitement leading up to game day.

She exclusively told us she will be on “grandma duty” inside her family’s suite at the Super Bowl, watching her precious “grandbabies,” Sterling, 3, Bronze, 2, and Golden, who was born less than a month ago. Her son shares the kiddos with wife Brittany Mahomes, who is also expected to be at the game on Sunday.

Later in the evening, we caught up with Don Lemon, who set the record straight on his confusing Grammys feud with Kanye West.

The TV host said he is now demanding “respect” from the rapper after West — who now goes by Ye — called him a racial slur in a since-deleted post on Instagram.

The “Gold Digger” rapper alleged that Lemon was the one who “started the rumor” that he and wife Bianca Censori were kicked out of the annual awards ceremony last Sunday for the wild fashion stunt they pulled on the carpet.

“Kanye’s a master marketer. He’s a master promoter, so I’m surprised but not surprised,” he said of the viral move. “I’m not surprised that he pulled a stunt. I’m just surprised that there was a lot of nudity involved [on Censori’s part].”

FRIDAY

On Friday, Page Six started the day by joining certified party gal Alex Cooper for her Unwell Super Bowl Party at the Rusty Nail.

She led a gaggle of female fans (us included) into a “Daddy Gang” chant, as she and her crew threw out Mardi Gras beads, Unwell merchandise and more from a carnival-themed platform.

The celebration also featured free drinks, light bites, a custom T-shirt station and more.

Meanwhile, at Fat Tuesday, Cardi B was the true life of the party.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper made an appearance to promote the establishment’s new partnership with Whipshots and Malibu.

Whipshots is whipped cream infused with vodka and was co-founded by Cardi B. The alcoholic delight is now available to “add onto your favorite frozen drink at Fat Tuesday locations,” per a press release.

Cardi appeared to be having an absolute blast at the bash, dancing and partying with all the guests who showed up to give her love and support.

Before we left, we even captured an epic video of the rapper twerking in celebration of “Cardi Gras.”

Watch below:

GQ Bowl (in partnership with Bode) kicked off Friday evening at Hotel Peter and Paul, marking the fashion house’s first event of its kind.

Football met fashion as GQ and Emily Adams Bode Aujla debuted the Spring 2025 Bode Rec. collection featuring men’s and women’s looks worn by models, athletes and notable friends of GQ and Bode.

Needless to say, the runway spectacular did not disappoint. We chatted with several stars at the event, including Alix Earle, who looked gorgeous in a red dress with Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

The One Party by Uber, which was headlined by Travis Scott, got the party started later that night at Second Line Stages with guests like Cara Delevingne, Jon Hamm, Amy Schumer, Evan Ross, Brooklyn Beckham, Ice Spice and Solange Knowles in attendance.

Over on the other side of the venue, the FanDuel Party powered by Spotify saw Megan Thee Stallion, Anderson .Paak (aka DJ Pee .Wee) and Blink-182 tear up the stage.

After the band finished their set, drummer Travis Barker rushed over to the VIP side area of the stage to meet up with his supportive wife, Kourtney Kardashian.

Kardashian — who had her eyes on Barker the entire time — jumped into his arms for a hug and a kiss. They then left hand-in-hand as a security team escorted them to a private area of the venue.

Later that night, Page Six popped over to Shaq’s Fun House at Mardi Gras World, where Shaquille O’Neal hosted an over-the-top, carnival-meets-music festival experience.

On the red carpet ahead of the event, the NBA legend told us he wants Nikki Glaser to roast him — just like she did to Tom Brady last year.

“Roast me,” he insisted. “’Cause I don’t get sensitive. And that girl that killed Tom Brady — I want her. What’s her name?”

After reminding him of Glaser’s name, O’Neal looked directly into our camera and said, “Nikki, you can say whatever you want about me, my mama, my kids. Let’s do it. Yeah, me. ‘Cause I don’t get sensitive. I like to laugh. I think Tom got a little [offended] with some of the jokes, but I can take it all.”

On the same red carpet, Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt revealed her game-day beauty secrets as well as the must-have items she makes sure to pack in her purse.

Not only did DJ Diesel (aka Shaq himself) later perform with support from Myles O’Neal and DJ Irie, but so did Ludacris and John Summit.

UnKommon Events also put on its first-ever Super Bowl pre-game party at Generations Hall, where DJ unKommon and Diplo performed sets.

Also on Friday was the Madden Bowl, which took place at Orpheum Theater and was co-headlined by Chris Stapleton and Jelly Roll.

Additional performers included Shaboozey, Trombone Shorty and Tucker Wetmore.

Meanwhile, the Athlete’s Foot threw a “Party With a Purpose” hosted by New Orleans native Master P. The bash benefited the Team Hope Foundation to support the victims of the city’s New Year’s Day tragedy.

SATURDAY

Page Six hit the ground running bright and early Saturday morning at the Raising Cane’s Super Bowl LIX Parade!

The first-of-its-kind Mardi Gras carnival-like celebration was hosted by the Super Bowl Host Committee, who crowned the chicken chain’s founder, Todd Graves, parade king. It featured an impressive 20-float procession through the French Quarter.

Before the big parade, however, we got some one-on-one time with Camille Kostek, who’s dating four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.

The model told us they were “very much looking forward” to a cozy Valentine’s Day at home after the madness of Super Bowl weekend.

We actually caught up with Gronkowski Friday at the FanDuel Party and asked whether he’d rather go on a double date with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift or Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld.

Gronkowski grappled with the options but ultimately decided that a “triple date” was the only way to go. When we asked his girlfriend the same question during our chat, she adorably managed to say the exact same thing.

On Saturday afternoon, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin hosted his ultra-exclusive Super Bowl party at The Sugar Mill. And, as promised, it was jam-packed with the hottest names in sports, music and more.

Post Malone and Travis Scott served as co-headliners for the party, which was attended by everyone from Kevin Costner, Pete Davidson and Martha Stewart to Post Malone, Travis Scott, Quavo and more.

“We have some of the biggest actors in the world here already,” Rubin exclusively told Page Six just moments after the carpet kicked off. “We’ve got a good crew coming!”

Other notable attendees included Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba, Zac Efron, Emma Roberts, Miles Teller, Gabrielle Union, Paul Rudd, Odell Beckham Jr., Dez Bryant and Joe Burrow.

The Longest Tailgate began Saturday afternoon, and legend has it … it’s still going. The event was sponsored by Smirnoff and hosted by iconic NFL players Vernon Davis, Warrick Dunn and Chris Long.

It featured a massive 60-foot truck on display at 201 Canal St. along with music, dancing, cocktails and mouth-watering bites served up by Chef David Rose.

T-Pain later bought us a drank (editor’s note: he did not) at Captain Morgan’s Rum Street HQ Party feat. T-Pain on Bourbon Street. Olivia Culpo, Winnie Harlow and Camille Kostek also stopped by the event.

Our mouths are still watering after hitting up Taste of the NFL (presented by Frito-Lay, Quaker and the PepsiCo Foundation), where we indulged in some of Crescent City’s finest cuisine while taking in the magnitude of the National WWII Museum.

The soirée was hosted by culinary superstars Andrew Zimmern, Carla Hall, Tim Love, Lasheeda Perry and Mark Bucher and featured appearances by notable NFL greats and over 20 locally loved Louisiana chefs.

Known as the Super Bowl’s biggest philanthropic event, it helped raise awareness for GENYOUth’s efforts to end student hunger.

All of these star-studded events are of course leading up to Sunday’s big game, where the Chiefs could potentially make history as the first NFL team to win three championships in a row after securing the title in 2023 (also against the Eagles) and 2024 (versus the San Francisco 49ers).

While we patiently await the final score, Page Six will have our eyes peeled on Swift, who will be cheering on Kelce in a VIP suite, just as she did last year in Las Vegas.

We’re also stoked to catch Kendrick Lamar’s Apple Music halftime show, which includes a special guest appearance from SZA.
