Which artist will appear on the World Cup final halftime show?

Several names have surfaced as potential guest performers for the World Cup final halftime show. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is serving as the show's creative curator, making the band itself a natural candidate to take the stage alongside the confirmed headliners. Justin Bieber has also drawn speculation, partly due to his strong performance at Coachella earlier this year and his Canadian nationality, which has fueled talk of a possible "North American moment" given the tournament's host countries. KATSEYE, the multinational girl group, gained additional visibility this year through their Coachella appearance alongside the real singing voices behind KPop Demon Hunters, and their international makeup aligns with the World Cup's global audience. Rihanna's name has also circulated since reports last year suggested she was in early talks to perform alongside Shakira, and a stage of this scale fits the kind of high-profile moment she has historically chosen to appear at. None of these four have been officially confirmed by FIFA or Global Citizen, and the final lineup may include additional names not yet under public discussion.
