Pitbull and Flo Rida will help Rolling Stone kick off Super Bowl weekend New Orleans-style on February 1st, when they'll hit the stage for Rolling Stone LIVE at the Bud Light Hotel.

The bash, which begins at 9:15 p.m. EST, will also feature America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon spinning musical selections from the DJ booth all night. A limited number of general admission tickets will be available, as well as a limited number of VIP tickets offering access to the Rolling Stone rock lounge, where partygoers can order from a special New Orleans-inspired menu.

Last year's tailgate party featured performances from Jane's Addiction and The Roots; while LMFAO, Gym Class Heroes, Lupe Fiasco and Cobra Starship played the kickoff party.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
