Coldplay to Curate 2026 World Cup Final Half-Time Show
In a groundbreaking move, Coldplay will assist in selecting artists for the inaugural half-time show at the 2026 World Cup final, set to be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The 2026 World Cup final is set to make history with its first-ever half-time show, courtesy of Coldplay. The iconic band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, and manager, Phil Harvey, will help curate a lineup of artists for this exciting event. Scheduled for July 19, 2026, the final will be a significant spectacle in line with the tournament being co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. FIFA President Gianni Infantino eagerly announced this development, highlighting its historic significance to the World Cup, which previously has not featured a half-time performance. Inspired by the popularity of similar spectacles in the NFL, particularly at the Super Bowl, the 15-minute show aims to captivate a massive global audience, much like other renowned performances in recent sporting events. The 2026 match is expected to draw unprecedented viewership, celebrating the convergence of sports and entertainment on a world stage.
