Pittsburgh is set to rock like never before. Legendary musician and hometown hero Bret Michaels will headline the halftime show for NBC’s Sunday Night Football when the Pittsburgh Steelers face off against the Green Bay Packers in the Forged in Pittsburgh Origin Game at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, October 26.
Known for his iconic energy and powerful connection to fans, Michaels will perform his hit anthem “Nothin’ But a Good Time” — a newly recorded live version prepared specifically for this monumental hometown performance.
As a Western Pennsylvania native, Michaels’ return to Pittsburgh carries deep personal meaning. “As a Western Pennsylvania native, I could not be more honored to bring nothing but a good time at halftime for the Forged in Pittsburgh Origin Game,” Michaels said in a statement. “Steeler Nation, we’re one big family — let’s rock!”
The performance promises to be both a celebration of Pittsburgh pride and a tribute to resilience and unity. Michaels, a type one diabetic and the son of a veteran, has long been an advocate for health awareness, charitable causes, and community support — all values that resonate deeply with the Steelers’ fan base and the city’s working-class spirit.
The special “Forged in Pittsburgh” theme highlights the toughness, grit, and passion that define both the Steelers organization and the people of Western Pennsylvania. As Michaels waves the Terrible Towel under the stadium lights, the moment is expected to unite generations of fans in a show of pure hometown pride.
NBC and the NFL have been working closely with Michaels’ team to produce a performance that blends live rock energy with football’s grand stage. The broadcast will showcase Michaels’ electric presence, fiery vocals, and unmistakable charisma — all while honoring the region that shaped him.
“It’s about music, football, and family — all the things that make Pittsburgh what it is,” one NBC producer said ahead of the show.
As the Steelers prepare to take on the Packers, one thing is certain — the halftime show won’t just be a break from the action; it will be a celebration of everything that makes Pittsburgh legendary.
