Madonna, BTS, Shakira and Justin Bieber are performing in 1st ever World Cup halftime show

The natural reference point for a show like this would of course be NFL’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, and it’d be a natural conclusion given that the FIFA show’s director Hamish Hamilton has handled every Super Bowl halftime performance since 2010. Still, Carrington curbs the comparison, adding that “we wanted to create something that felt organic to the tournament and that “there wasn’t any real influence taken from any other shows or anything like that.”
The fact that it is the first ever World Cup final halftime show, it makes a lot of sense to come at it slightly differently,” he says. “We want something a bit different from the traditional. The expected viewing figures on Sunday are going to be enormous, like probably the most viewed match of all time, and watched all over the world. I think it needed to feel representative of that.”

Gerard Pique is a lucky man. They’re divorced now but he had that in its prime.

Not that I needed a reason not to watch, but thank you.

I love my country more than most, but I hate it when we Americanize shite.

Is Argentina's coach going to bitch again that the halftime length is too long?
Posted on 7/17/26 at 9:00 pm to RelicBatches86
We sure do love our halftime concerts

Halftime shows have no place in the WC. Let alone soccer.

Nor do “hydration breaks”. Pair that with an extended halftime and you’ve really affected the game. It’s stupid and makes the whole thing feel more like an exhibition than a major international championship.
