Robyn, Devo, Lady Gaga, and More to Play SNL Live Concert Special


Robyn, Devo, Lady Gaga, Jack White, Bad Bunny, and more are participating in a concert special to celebrate the 50th season of Saturday Night Live. The event, called SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, will stream live on Peacock on Friday, February 14, beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Rounding out the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert lineup are: Arcade Fire, Backstreet Boys, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Chris Martin (of Coldplay), David Byrne, Eddie Vedder, Jelly Roll, Miley Cyrus, Mumford & Sons, Post Malone, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, the B-52’s, and the Roots. More artists will be announced before the show airs live.

Jimmy Fallon is hosting SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, and Lorne Michaels and Mark Ronson are the show’s executive producers. It takes place at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

Of all the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert participants, no one performed on an earlier episode than Bonnie Raitt: The singer made her debut on a January 1978 episode, playing “Give It Up or Let Me Go” and “Runaway.” It was the 56th episode of SNL; for context, Timothée Chalamet just performed on the show’s 980th episode.

Other notable returnees include Devo, who made their lone Saturday Night Live appearance in October 1978; David Byrne, who debuted with Talking Heads in 1979; the B-52’s, who first performed on the show in 1980; and Eddie Vedder, who played SNL with Pearl Jam in 1992. The newest SNL alumnus is Jelly Roll, who kicked off the program’s 50th season, in September, with performances of “Liar” and “Winning Streak.”

NBC and Peacock recently released a new documentary about Saturday Night Live co-directed by Oz Rodriguez and the Roots’ Questlove. The film, Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music, features interviews with Miley Cyrus, Jack White, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, and more.
