Superstar Lineup for Unprecedented World Cup Show
15 Jul
Summary
- ITV will broadcast the World Cup half-time show in full.
- Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, and Justin Bieber star.
- Performance supports fund for global children's education.
The upcoming World Cup final will feature an unprecedented full half-time show broadcast by ITV. This interval performance boasts a star-studded lineup including Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, and Justin Bieber, a significant departure from typical tournament entertainment.
The show is being staged in support of the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund. This initiative aims to raise $100 million to enhance global access to education and football for children.
Rumors suggest the performance might extend beyond the usual 15-minute halftime, potentially challenging Fifa's regulations. The event is curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin and will include other artists and characters.
Additionally, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, Robbie Williams, and Jennifer Hudson are slated to perform during the closing ceremony, scheduled 90 minutes before kick-off. The final will pit Spain against the winner of the England versus Argentina semi-final.
