Last year, Coldplay released their latest LP Moon Music and Chris Martin said the band wouldn't be making that many more albums. Now, the frontman is working alongside FIFA to help curate the first ever halftime show at the World Cup final next year.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino wrote on Instagram: “I can confirm the first ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey, in association with Global Citizen. This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world."
"I also want to thank Chris Martin and Phil Harvey of Coldplay, who will be working with us at FIFA to finalize the list of artists who will perform during the half time show, as well as at Times Square,” he continued.
The event will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026. Coldplay performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2016.
