All the Performances from SNL's 50th Anniversary Concert

Saturday Night Live is pulling out all the stops for its 50th anniversary, and the celebrations kicked off in style last night, Friday, February 14, with a star-studded concert ahead of the highly anticipated three-hour special airing this Sunday, February 16. Hosted by SNL alum and late-night favorite Jimmy Fallon, the event brought together a mix of music’s biggest stars and comedy legends for a night of unforgettable performances, hilarious tributes, and plenty of nostalgia.

The evening featured powerhouse musical acts, with Miley Cyrus delivering a performance of her hit "Flowers" and Post Malone surprising the crowd with a rock-heavy cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. But in true SNL fashion, the night wasn’t just about the music—it was about the laughs, too. Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer took the stage for a side-splitting medley of today’s hottest songs, giving tracks like Doechii’s "Denial Is a River" a comedic twist that had the audience laughing all night. 

With a lineup blending music and comedy, the SNL 50th anniversary concert was the perfect prelude to the milestone celebration. Here’s a full roundup of all the night’s performances.
