Justin Bieber to Headline 2026 World Cup Final Half-Time Show With Star-Studded Lineup

Justin Bieber is set to headline the 2026 FIFA World Cup final's half-time show, joining an impressive roster of global music stars. The Canadian pop sensation will perform on July 19 in New York, marking a significant return to major live events.

Bieber will share the stage with music icons Madonna and Shakira, as well as K-pop group BTS, for what is described as the tournament's first-ever Super Bowl-style half-time performance. The 11-minute show will also feature Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus with Coldplay, and even the Sesame Street muppets.

The event serves a charitable purpose, supporting the Fifa Global Citizen Education Fund. This initiative aims to raise $100 million to benefit children worldwide. Coldplay's Chris Martin curated the half-time show, bringing together diverse artists for a unified cause.

This performance marks a notable moment for Bieber, who recently returned to the stage at Coachella after health issues led him to cancel his Justice world tour. His Coachella set featured many of his hit songs, including "Baby" and "Never Say Never."
