ShareMelody Baetens, The
Legendary Motown group the Four Tops will return to Ford Field for the first time in 20 years as the group performs at Sunday's Lions game.
Set to be the halftime entertainment during the Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game, the group last took the field as part of the Super Bowl XL show when it was held in Detroit in 2006.
One of the most successful recording artists of the 1960s, the Four Tops helped establish the Motown sound with songs like "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" and "Reach Out I'll Be There."
The last original member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, Duke Fakir, died in 2024. The Four Tops features three singers that have been in the group for at least 20 or more years — Theo Peoples, Ronnie McNeir and Roquel Payton — plus Michael Brock who joined in 2024.
The Detroit Lions also announced that rapper Skilla Baby will be the pre-show entertainment. The Detroit rapper and Geffen recording artist is currently on his "The Price of Fame" fall tour, which comes to the Fillmore Detroit on Nov. 22.
The game is set to begin at 1 p.m. Sunday and air on Fox as well as other platforms.
