Justin Bieber has joined Madonna, Shakira, and K-pop group BTS as a headliner for the 2026 World Cup final's first-ever half-time show. The 11-minute performance, which Coldplay's Chris Martin has organised, is scheduled for 19 July outside New York. The initiative intends to back the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an organisation striving to secure $100 million for children's education.
