BTS, Shakira and Madonna Are Headlining the First-Ever World Cup Halftime Show

Bringing global music royalty together on the biggest stage.

The World Cup is fast-approaching, and FIFA just announced the lineup for its first-ever halftime show. After breaking the internet with a star-studded opening ceremony performance set that could rival any of the major music festivals, the governing body pulled out the big guns for its inaugural halftime show, bringing some of the industry’s most popular names together on this summer’s biggest stage for the first time.

Madonna, Shakira and BTS are all set to perform during the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, bringing global superstars from different corners of the world together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance that’s set to have everybody tuning in. Testing the waters with a Super Bowl-esque shift in the world of soccer, the first World Cup halftime show couldn’t be off to a better start.

Two of the world’s greatest performers in Madonna and Shakira are certain to be worth the watch alone. Once you add in K-pop royalty in BTS, this will be one to remember. There’s still a ways to go and over 100 matches before the stars take the stage on July 19, but keep your calendar booked for this one. Whether you’re in the stadium or watching on television, we’re in for an unforgettable night.
