halftime shows

Bowl game spectacles

Halftime shows are entertainment performances staged during the intermission of sporting events, especially American football games.

The term most often refers to the elaborate productions at the Super Bowl, featuring major musical acts and spectacular staging: The halftime show drew more viewers than the game itself.

College games feature marching band halftime shows instead.
