The closing ceremony, set to unfold in New Jersey, promises more than a simple farewell. Whispers of high-profile musical acts and jaw-dropping visuals have already turned it into one of the year’s most anticipated pop culture moments.
Rumors have been swirling about the half-time show lineup—names from every corner of the industry are in play. As FIFA tightens the secrecy, one thing’s clear: the stage is set for a performance as global as the game itself.

This marks the first time a FIFA competition will include a halftime show. The complete show is curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay and produced in collaboration with Global Citizen.
Its purpose is to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, aiming to raise $100 million to improve access to quality education for children worldwide. The performance will be streamed live on DAZN.
Additionally, Australian artist Emmanuel Kelly has been added to the lineup, bringing a message of inclusion and inspiration to the performance. The show is set to begin at approximately 3:50 PM ET during the final match.
