ESPN has added another artist to the College Football Playoff halftime show.

Thursday, the network announced that Lil Wayne will join Imagine Dragons for the performance, scheduled at halftime of the College Football Playoff title game between No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Clemson.

Imagine Dragons had been named the halftime performer several weeks ago. The group’s song “Natural” had served as the theme for ESPN’s college football coverage all season.

For the second straight year, the halftime show will be performed at a venue outside of the location of the championship game. Imagine Dragons and Lil Wayne will perform at Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.

The bands from Clemson and Alabama will perform at halftime of the game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Last year’s performance was from Kendrick Lamar.
