The final three episodes of ‘Saturday Night Live’s 51st season will feature musical performances from Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, and Paul McCartney.
The final lineup for the 51st season of Saturday Night Live has been confirmed, with three distinct musical guests set for May. Olivia Rodrigo leads off on May 2, pulling double duty as both host and performer ahead of her third album in June.
Noah Kahan will perform on May 9, with actor Matt Damon hosting. Kahan’s appearance follows the release of his new album ‘The Great Divide’ in late April. The season concludes on May 16 with Paul McCartney as the musical guest for the finale, hosted by Will Ferrell.
The bookings reflect the show’s continued role in bridging generational audiences, pairing a legacy icon like McCartney with two of the most prominent younger songwriters in current pop and folk. Each performance coincides with a significant promotional cycle, anchoring the show’s cultural relevance as a platform for album releases.
