Justin Bieber to Co-Headline FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show

The 11-minute show will raise money for a $100 million education fund and feature Madonna, Shakira, BTS and other global acts.

  • Canadian singer Justin Bieber joins the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, marking the first halftime performance in World Cup history.
  • Curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin, the performance supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aiming to raise $100 million to expand education access for children worldwide.
  • Bieber co-headlines alongside Madonna, Shakira, and BTS, with additional performers including Nigerian singer Burna Boy, Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus from Staten Island.
  • The show will run 11 minutes, staying within international football laws that permit a halftime interval 'not exceeding 15 minutes,' addressing earlier concerns about extended breaks.
  • FIFA President Gianni Infantino called the spectacle 'definitely the biggest stage ever,' saying it will celebrate shared values and create a lasting legacy transcending the final whistle.
