DOLPHINS PLAN STAR-STUDDED ENTERTAINMENT
FOR THE HOME OPENER SEPTEMBER 26TH
AND IN CELEBRATION OF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
Festivities Include Tailgate Performance by Alejandro Escovedo,
National Anthem by Grammy-Award Winner and Dolphins’ Limited Partner Marc Anthony
Along with The Black Eyed Peas and Dolphins’ Limited Partner Fergie
Special Halftime Performance by International Superstar Enrique Iglesias
MIAMI - The Miami Dolphins, along with the National Football League, NBC Sports and Telemundo, will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) with star-studded entertainment at the Dolphins’ home opener against the New York Jets on Sunday, September 26th at 8:00 p.m. (ET). Telemundo will broadcast its first-ever “Sunday Night Football” game on its New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami Telemundo stations.
Five-time Grammy award-winning singer and Dolphins’ limited partner Marc Anthony will sing the national anthem along with Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas and Dolphins’ limited partner. Anthony has sold over 11 million albums worldwide, making him one of the most influential artists of his time and a true ambassador of Latin music and culture. He has been awarded countless Standard gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His new production "Iconos" was released this summer and occupied the #1 position in sales and airplay for 8 consecutive weeks.
Fergie’s first disc with The Black Eyed Peas thrusted the group into the spotlight when "Elephunk" went triple platinum in 2002. The mega-single “Let’s Get It Started,” earned The Peas their first Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Fergie’s first single “London Bridge” made history as it bulleted its way up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching the #1 spot in three short weeks, the second highest jump ever recorded by Billboard. “LondonBridge” also made its presence known in the digital realm as it topped the iTunes Top 100 songs chart as well.
Fans will be treated to a spectacular halftime performance by international superstar Enrique Iglesias. Dolphins’ limited partner and seven-time Grammy-award winner Gloria Estefan will introduce Iglesias. Iglesias is one of the biggest-selling Spanish artists of all time, with over 12 million albums sold and 19 #1 Billboard Latin hits across the Americas.
Iglesias recently released his new album, "Euphoria," which is his first album to feature songs in both Spanish and English. “I Like It” has become an international hit single. The song, as well as a video clip from the track, will be used by the Miami Dolphins in a TV advertising campaign.
Fans can preview the TV spot on www.MiamiDolphins.com/party and see Iglesisas perform the song live at halftime of the Dolphins-Jets game September 26th.
Getting things started at the tailgate stage will be the highly esteemed Texas rocker Alejandro Escovedo. His new album, "Street Songs of Love" (Fantasy/Concord), has received some of the year’s most extraordinary reviews, capturing the attention of music fans everywhere. “Faith," Escovedo’s duet with Bruce Springsteen which appears on the new album, was recently featured in an episode of HBO's "True Blood".
The Dolphins’ special home opener entertainment will be produced by Game Day Entertainment LLC, by executive producer David Saltz.
NBC Sports’ “Sunday Night Football” production team will partner with Deportes Telemundo to broadcast the game from Miami between these two AFC East rivals from top Hispanic Markets in two languages with kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET. Deportes Telemundo will provide its own Spanish-speaking award-winning commentators, Jessi Losada, Rene Girardo and Edgar Lopez.

Though I understand the need to advertise the event to all media possible to reach a many people as possible, it would have been nice to compliment this press release on this site with a chance for a fan (preferably me
)to be Marc Anthony's guest at the event and enjoy the days activities.
Loving that Marc and Jennifer are part of all this history in the making.....
IT'S NOT ABOUT HEARING HIM SING, IT'S ABOUT THE WAY HE MAKES YOU FEEL WHEN HE SINGS...I LOVE HIM!...MI QUERIDO TE AMO!!
