\n\tJustin Bieber<\/a> has joined as a co-headliner for the FIFA World Cup<\/a> Final halftime show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBieber joins the previously announced <\/a>headliners Madonna<\/a>, Shakira<\/a> and BTS<\/a> for the halftime performance, scheduled to take place July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium. Additional performers include Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the PS22 Chorus, made up of 4th and 5th graders from an elementary school in Staten Island, who will be featured alongside Coldplay. Coldplay\u2019s Chris Martin is curating the 11-minute halftime show.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe halftime show is produced by Global Citizen and will help raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which has a goal of raising $100 million to expand access to education and football for children worldwide. Kermit, Miss Piggy and some of the Muppets will also appear in the halftime show, in an effort to underscore the educational message.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show will mark Bieber\u2019s first public performance since his much-discussed headlining set at Coachella back in April. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can,\u201d Bieber said. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it\u2019s already helping expand access to education for children around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA dollar from every ticket sold to the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches is being donated throughout the tournament, in addition to financial commitments from\u00a0Prime Minister Carney of Canada and Prime Minister Montenegro of Portugal.<\/p>\n

\n\tShakira<\/a> and Burna Boy<\/a> collaborated on \u201cDai Dai,\u201d which is the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Dudamel and the Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela served as the opening act for Coldplay during their 10-night London residency in 2025. Live Nation and Done + Dusted are also producing the show, which is meant to bring together global artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t \u201cThe FIFA World Cup is one of the few moments that truly brings the entire world together,\u201d Burna Boy said in a statement. \u201cTo represent Africa on the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show is a privilege and a responsibility that I don\u2019t take lightly. I\u2019m honoured to be part of a performance that not only celebrates football and culture, but also helps create greater opportunities for children through education around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Justin Bieber has joined as a co-headliner for the FIFA World Cup Final halftime show.\u00a0 Bieber joins the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751225,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[92201,88,8363,1037,13847,216,58126],"class_list":["post-751224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-bts","tag-entertainment","tag-fifa-world-cup","tag-justin-bieber","tag-madonna","tag-music","tag-shakira"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
