The 2026 World Cup final, scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, will feature an unprecedented Super Bowl-style half-time show. In a significant move, Coldplay, led by frontman Chris Martin, will assist FIFA President Gianni Infantino in creating a lineup of artists for this landmark event. While pre-match entertainment is common in top-tier sports, this will mark the first time that a World Cup final incorporates a half-time performance. Similar to the Super Bowl, which typically allocates up to 30 minutes for half-time shows, the World Cup final will designate 15 minutes for the performance. Infantino recently shared the news on Instagram, emphasizing the historical nature of the event. Notably, past Super Bowl half-time shows, featuring stars like Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, have attracted record audiences, suggesting that the upcoming World Cup show could redefine sports entertainment on a global scale.
