Steelers fan Bret Michaels hyped about ‘dream come true’ gig at NFL Draft with Wiz Khalifa

Lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers fan Bret Michaels is very close to fulfilling a “dream come true” moment at the upcoming 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh. Poison lead singer and Butler native Bret Michaels is set to perform with rapper Wiz Khalifa at the 2026 NFL draft.

“This is so awesome. I’m here at the stadium. I grew up in Pittsburgh. This is a bucket list dream comes true for me. I’m a sports fanatic, a music fanatic. I said it’s mixing everything I love, family, friends, music, sports, right here,” Michaels told Mike Babcock from Acrisure Stadium.

“Music and sports and my family having my back has really not only inspired me in life, but saved my life on many occasions. It goes so deep, and the NFL has been so incredible to work with. Wiz Khalifa, myself, Friday, 5:15 PM, kicking off the Friday night draft with nothing but a good time,” he continued.

“This is a good day in my life,” Michaels said while referring to the NFL Draft 2026 taking place in Pittsburgh. “They’re like, ‘We want you to play your hits.’ We both looked, we said, ‘Well, we’ll be on for, I don’t know, maybe four, four and a half hours,” he further shared. “We want to just provide some great music. Wiz [Khalifa] and myself and the Bret Michaels Band, we just want to entertain people. It’s a great time. And then get down to what is the icing on the cake, which is the cake, is the draft. As a football fanatic, man, this is a good day.”

With solid performance additions to the 2026 NFL Draft, the football league has also begun an interesting collaboration with Heinz ketchup and the “57” number.
