How Will They All Fit? Justin Bieber Joins Packed World Cup Final Halftime Show

The first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show is getting even bigger, but with just 11 minutes to fill, fans are wondering how everyone will fit on stage. Justin Bieber has now been added to the line-up alongside Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, Coldplay, the PS22 Chorus and Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, making it quite the halftime show!

Unlike the Super Bowl, where the halftime show typically centres around one headline act with a handful of guests, the World Cup final appears to be taking a different approach. Organisers have confirmed the show will still last around 11 minutes, meaning many of the performers are expected to make brief appearances rather than perform full songs. Shakira and Burna Boy are expected to perform their World Cup anthem Dai Dai, while appearances from Kermit the Frog and Sesame Street characters have also been announced.

The ambitious performance will take place before the World Cup final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium and is being curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Beyond the entertainment, the show will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million to improve access to education and football opportunities for children around the world.
