Justin Bieber Teams Up with Madonna, Shakira & BTS for Epic World Cup Halftime Bash!

Justin Bieber will be performing at the Fifa World Cup final half-time show in New York, joining a lineup of global stars including Madonna, Shakira, and the popular K-pop group BTS. This will be the first time the World Cup has a Super Bowl-style half-time show, and it is set to take place on July 19. The show will last for 11 minutes and will also feature Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus with Coldplay, and even the Sesame Street muppets. The event is not just about entertainment; it is also supporting the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise money for children’s education around the world.

Justin Bieber expressed his excitement about being part of such a huge event, saying that the Fifa World Cup brings people together in a way nothing else can. Earlier this year, Bieber made his return to the stage at the Coachella festival in California, which was his first major live performance in four years after he had to cancel his Justice world tour due to health issues. During his Coachella performance, he sang some of his older hits like Baby and Never Say Never while sitting in front of a laptop.

The half-time show is being organized by Chris Martin from Coldplay, and all the money raised will go to the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund. Shakira and Burna Boy, who helped open the tournament, will also be performing again. Their song Dai Dai has become a favorite at matches and is topping music charts. The 2026 World Cup is the biggest ever, with 48 teams from Mexico, Canada, and the US, but now only eight teams are left as the tournament reaches the quarter finals. France will play Morocco in Boston, Spain will face Belgium in Los Angeles, Norway will meet England in Miami, and Argentina will play Switzerland in Kansas City. Lionel Messi from Argentina is leading the Golden Boot race with eight goals, followed by Kylian Mbappé from France and Erling Haaland from Norway, who both have seven goals, and England’s Harry Kane with six. The final is expected to be a huge event, both for football and for music fans around the world.
