14 Jun
Summary
- Chris Martin to curate the first World Cup final halftime show.
- BTS is confirmed as a headline performer for the halftime show.
- Speculation of a joint performance or new song with Coldplay and BTS.
The FIFA World Cup final is poised for an unprecedented entertainment spectacle, with rumors of a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS gaining traction.
Chris Martin of Coldplay has been confirmed to curate the inaugural halftime show for the World Cup final, a significant departure from traditional pre-match ceremonies. This announcement, coupled with BTS being revealed as a headline performer, has ignited widespread speculation among fans.
Fans are connecting the dots due to Coldplay and BTS' previous successful collaboration on the global hit "My Universe." The possibility of a surprise joint performance or a new anthem for the World Cup is a hot topic in fan communities.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino described the halftime show as a historic moment, signaling the event's elevated status as a major entertainment spectacle, akin to the Super Bowl. This increased focus on entertainment includes plans to "take over" New York's Times Square.
While official confirmation of a BTS and Coldplay joint effort is absent, the combined presence of Martin curating and BTS performing creates a fertile ground for such theories. Shakira has also teased the tournament's new official song, "Dai Dai," with Burna Boy.
