How to rewatch THAT Kendrick Super Bowl half-time show in Dolby Atmos

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl half-time performance may have produced more headlines than the game itself or the attendance of a president and the (other) most popular musician on the planet.
Now, it’s possible to relive one of the most iconic – and most controversial – half-time shows of all time, with even better audio.

Apple, which has sponsored the event for the last three years, has kindly uploaded the half time show with Dolby Atmos-powered Spatial Audio fully enabled.
Dolby Atmos is an immersive, 360-degree audio format that can simulate the feeling of actually being there for the diss-heavy set that was compulsive viewing for everyone, unless your name happens to be Drake.
If you didn’t stay up for the big game, you can join in the fun – and the rampant online discussion of every single frame – thanks to the Apple Music app.
Here’s how.
