FIFA Announces First World Cup Halftime Show with Afrobeats Stars in Focus

FIFA Announces First World Cup Halftime Show with Afrobeats Stars in Focus — 1 of 2
1 / 2

FIFA has confirmed a historic halftime show for the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The performance will be curated by Coldplay’s Chris Martin alongside Phil Harvey and feature multiple global artists. FIFA is also planning a takeover of Times Square for the tournament’s final weekend. Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene has a strong track record on football’s biggest stages. Past performances by Tems, Davido and Burna Boy set the stage for another moment when Afrobeats artists could shine in July 2026.

Not convinced Afrobeats alone will dominate that halftime. Big stage usually needs more variety to engage everyone.

It's interesting that FIFA is bringing Afrobeats front and center, but I wonder if fans outside that genre will stay engaged.

I'm not convinced Times Square takeover adds much to the halftime tradition beyond flashy visuals and crowd noise.

Considering the scale, organizers should publish a schedule of performances early so fans can plan their watch parties accordingly.
