Super Bowl Concert Guide: 14 cool shows to see before the big game

There’s a lot more than just football happening during Super Bowl week in the Bay Area.

For every first down, dropped pass and extra point scored by the two teams battling it out Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, there will be at least as many hot guitar leads, cool drum beats and hit songs delivered during the many Super Bowl-related concerts taking place Feb. 5-7 at multiple music venues in the Bay Area.

The music ranges from country to pop to hip-hop, with plenty of big-name performers in the mix.
