Justin Bieber has just joined a list that already seemed impossible to top: Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. The four will share the stage on July 19, 2026, in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to close out the World Cup final with an 11-minute show.

FIFA announced it this Wednesday and, with this, marks a before and after: never before had a World Cup had a halftime musical show. Soccer joins pop, reggaeton, and K-pop on the same stage, something historically reserved for the Super Bowl.

Can you imagine the atmosphere in the stadium when that show kicks off, minutes before the world champion is decided? 🎤⚽
