What better way to welcome the NFL kickoff than with some sweet sounds?

As you prepare for the first football game of the season (with nachos, potato skins, beverages and all the other necessities), get ready to also rock out with Gwen Stefani and No Doubt and soulful singer Mariah Carey.

These two powerhouses are set to perform live from Rockefeller Plaza during the hour-long pregame show before the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on September 5, according to The Huffington Post.

Both say they are excited and look forward to performing, with Carey adding that she hopes to make the event "even more festive."
