The FIFA World Cup 2026 final is set to deliver a spectacle unlike any in the tournament’s history after FIFA and Global Citizen confirmed that global music icon Justin Bieber has joined the star-studded lineup for the inaugural FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show.
Bieber will co-headline the groundbreaking performance alongside Madonna, Shakira and South Korean supergroup BTS when the world’s biggest football event reaches its climax on 19 July, at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
The historic 11-minute halftime show marks the first time a FIFA World Cup final will feature a Super Bowl-style entertainment performance, bringing together some of the biggest names in global music while promoting a message of unity, education and social impact.
Joining the headline acts will be Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy, whose global hit “Dai Dai” with Shakira continues to dominate music charts worldwide. Also confirmed for the performance are internationally acclaimed Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, Music and Artistic Director of the New York Philharmonic, alongside the award-winning PS 22 Chorus featuring British rock band Coldplay.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the event goes beyond entertainment, describing it as a platform to advance access to education and opportunities for children across the globe.
