Kendrick Lamar will pop out on the NFL’s biggest stage next year: The Grammy winner will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans.

The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Sunday that Lamar would lead the halftime festivities from the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9. The rap megastar, who has won 17 Grammys, said he’s looking forward to bringing hip-hop to the NFL’s championship game, where he performed as a guest artist with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Eminem in 2022.

“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”

Lamar, 37, has experienced massive success since his debut album “good kid, m.A.A.d city” in 2012. He has accumulated 17 Grammy wins and became the first non- classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album “Damn.”

Roc Nation founder Jay-Z called Lamar a “once-in-a-generation” artist and performer. Roc Nation and Emmy- winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co- executive producers of the halftime show.

“Time and time again, Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop,” said Seth Dudowsky, the head of music at the NFL.

‘Room Next Door’ tops Venice festival: “The Room Next Door,” Pedro Almodóvar’s English- language debut starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, topped the Venice film festival and was awarded its Golden Lion award Saturday.

The best actress prize went to Nicole Kidman for her raw and exposing portrayal of a CEO embroiled in an affair with an intern in “Babygirl,” but she missed the ceremony because of her mother’s death. “I’m in shock, and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her. ... She shaped me and made me,” Kidman said in a statement read by “Babygirl” director Halina Reijn.

The festival came to a close Saturday, with the jury bestowing top prizes to Brady Corbet, for directing the post-war epic “The Brutalist,” and to Vincent Lindon, for his lead performance in “The Quiet Son.” Lindon plays a single father whose son is radicalized by the far right.

Maura Delpero’s “Vermiglio” won the Silver Lion award, the runner-up prize. The drama is about the last year of World War II, in which a refugee soldier happens upon a family.

Almodóvar’s win came after his film received a nearly 20-minute standing ovation. “I would like to dedicate it to my family,” Almodóvar said. “This movie … it is my first movie in English, but the spirit is Spanish.”

The Luigi De Laurentiis award for a debut film went to Sarah Friedland’s “Familiar Touch,” about an octogenarian’s transition to life in assisted living. Friedland also won the director prize in the horizons section and her star, Kathleen Chalfant, won the actress prize.
