World Cup Halftime Show: A Star-Studded Spectacle for Education and Soccer
Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS are set to headline the star-studded halftime show at the World Cup, along with Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus. The 11-minute performance, curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay, will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The show will take place during the final outside New York on July 19, aiming to raise $100 million to help children access education and soccer.
Justin Bieber expressed his gratitude for being part of the Halftime Show and highlighted the impact it will have on expanding access to education for children worldwide. Burna Boy, who is one-half of this year's official World Cup song "Dai Dai" with Shakira, emphasized the significance of representing Africa on the global stage during the halftime show.
While halftime shows are a common feature in events like the Super Bowl, they are not as prevalent in soccer. This year's World Cup halftime performance will also include characters from "Sesame Street" and Muppets like Kermit and Miss Piggy, adding a fun and entertaining element to the show. The collaboration of diverse artists and performers promises to make the World Cup halftime show a memorable and impactful event for fans worldwide.
