He was joined by hip-hop superstar Wiz Khalifa at the Draft Theater outside Acrisure Stadium, and together they kicked off the festivities before the second and third rounds of the draft. We’re talking about a concert that was so lit, it’s a wonder the stadium didn’t melt 🌡️!
Professionally filmed video of Bret performing the POISON classic “Nothin’ But A Good Time” at the 2026 NFL Draft can be seen at this location 📹. And let’s just say, it’s a wild ride 🎢! When his appearance in Pittsburgh was first announced earlier in the month, Michaels said in a statement: “I cannot be more honored, excited, and fired up to perform at the Pittsburgh 2026 Draft. As a Western Pennsylvania native and lifelong Steelers and NFL fan, this is a dream come true 🙌.” He also mentioned that as a young diabetic searching for hope, football, music, family, and friends inspired him to stay positive and never give up 💪.
Michaels told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about his appearance: “I’m telling you right now, this draft is nothin’ but a good draft — that’s the vibe of it 🎉. And that’s exactly what this is going to be 🤩. We are going to welcome everyone to Pittsburgh from around the NFL, around the world 🌎. This is a celebration of the NFL, the NFL fans, the young talent that’s about to have a life-changing moment 🚀. We’re celebrating that, but we’re celebrating the city of Pittsburgh, and where I grew up — coming from Butler and just as a lifelong diehard Steelers fan — what an honor for me to be able to be a part of it, musically 🎶.” And then to have his friend Wiz Khalifa and him mash it up, or co-headline it, together onstage — it’s going to be a good NFL Draft 🎉!
