The Rolling Stones

In the context of their performance at the Super Bowl in Detroit on February 5, 2006, The Rolling Stones were entering a significant phase of their career, particularly as they had just released their studio album "A Bigger Bang" in September 2005. This album marked their first since 1997's "Bridges to Babylon" and was embraced for its energetic rock sound, containing hits like "Start Me Up" and "Rough Justice." Performing at the Super Bowl half-time show, The Stones showcased their enduring popularity and ability to resonate with a diverse audience, despite concerns over their age and relevancy in a youth-centric music scene. Notably, their selection as the halftime entertainment underscored their legacy as one of rock's most iconic bands, bringing a mix of classic hits and promoting their recent work to a global audience during a high-profile event.
