Rock band Third Eye Blind will take the stage at Allegiant Stadium for halftime when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs.
Third Eye Blind is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1993. Known for their blend of alternative rock and pop sensibilities, the band quickly rose to fame in the late 1990s with their catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. When Third Eye Blind dropped "Semi-Charmed Life" in 1997, the earworm chorus and scrappy melody sounded downright fresh and signaled a new breed of alt-rock, one eschewing grunge's bludgeoning heaviness and brooding sincerity for power-pop hooks and lyrics capable of twisting ironic humor and heartfelt sincerity into a pretzel. Another prime example of the band's deceptive songcraft arrived in the form of "Never Let You Go," which anchored Third Eye Blind's second album, 1999's Blue. On 2003's Out of the Vein, which plays out like a bummer breakup album, Jenkins can't help but insert the cheeky rocker "Crystal Baller," on which he sounds both extremely heartbroken and utterly hilarious. It's this very quality—an ability to laugh in the face of life's succession of tragedies—that has helped Third Eye Blind retain such a doggedly loyal fanbase well into the 21st century.
Singer Alex Nester will perform the National Anthem. For Alex, music isn't just art, it's a lifeline. At 16, during her battle with cancer, she discovered its power to heal, sustain and inspire. With gratitude at the heart of her journey, she went on to release three critically acclaimed albums and work with artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Chicago and Carlos Santana. Blending the sounds of soul, funk and R&B with her own heartfelt storytelling, Alex creates music that uplifts and connects.
