Global Unity: Justin Bieber and Star-Studded Lineup Headline FIFA World Cup Halftime Show for Education Fund
Justin Bieber is set to co-headline the halftime show of the World Cup final on July 19, alongside Shakira, Madonna, and BTS, as announced by FIFA. The lineup will also include Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus, a group of elementary school students from Staten Island. The halftime show, curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay, will take place at the New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
This performance will mark Bieber's first public appearance since his headline show at Coachella in April. The halftime show aims to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which is raising funds to provide children worldwide with access to education and soccer opportunities. Bieber expressed his gratitude for being part of the show and contributing to expanding educational access for children globally.
In addition to the star-studded lineup, the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches will donate a dollar from every ticket sold throughout the tournament to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The collaboration between artists and FIFA aims to bring people together through the power of music and sports while making a positive impact on children's education worldwide.
