For the first time ever the FIFA World Cup 2026 is getting a half-time show, at the New York New Jersey Stadium on 19 July. Curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin, the show will raise money for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, a charity aiming to raise £73m for children worldwide.
The 11-minute set’s lineup is an impressive one, featuring Madonna, Burna Boy, Shakira, BTS, and most recently announced Justin Bieber. The star-studded list of performers makes for the perfect genre-spanning, multi-faceted show.
In the spring of this year, the Canadian singer Justin Bieber, returned to the stage after a long hiatus at none other than Coachella in California. It came as his biggest live show in four years, after cancelling his Justice tour due to health issues.
Colombian pop star Shakira and Nigerian musician Burna Boy opened the tournament together across the three North America host nations. Their track “Dai Dai” has topped the charts and become a staple at matches since the tournament started in June
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “We are proud to have Justin Bieber joining Madonna, Shakira and BTS to co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and our mission to expand access to quality education and football opportunities for children around the world. Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel and PS22 Chorus ft. Coldplay will also join and play a key role in conveying a powerful message of unity and hope to billions of people worldwide.”
Justin Bieber added: “The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can. I’m grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it’s already helping expand access to education for children around the world.”
