There will be part -time show at the World Cup
For the first time in the history of the World Cupthere will be a part -time show in the final, in the style of the NFL. Although, as music fans, this excites us a lot, our “fifas” friends (those who only live for football) are a bit concerned about how this could affect the rhythm of the game.
And it is that a show of that caliber will probably last more than 15 minuteswhich is what the break usually lasts in a normal football match.
But beyond logistics, Chris MartinVocalist and founder of Coldplay, will have to decide who will accompany him in this show, if he decides that the band participates (we cross the fingers).
Predictions: Artists who will perform at the 2026 World Cup
One of the most popular names for this event is, without a doubt, BTS. And here we give you a couple of reasons why we believe they could be the chosen ones:
- Your friendship: It is no secret that BTS and Chris Martin’s boys have a very good relationship. After your collaboration in “My Universe“, The English singer participated in Jin’s album, the oldest of BTS, and even invited him to sing with him in his shows in Seoul.

- BTS’s return: The South Korean band ends their military service this year. After taking a break to fulfill their obligations, this year they return with everything, and it is rumored that they have a new album on their way. So, what best event to promote it than the World Cup final?
- BTS is a worldwide phenomenon: Although many might think that K-Pop is not what the football public most listens, the World Cup goes much further. It is the largest sporting event on the planet, and FIFA could use it as a strategy to reach more people, expanding its global audience.
Oasis is also on our radar. This year the band returns and both Liam and Noel Gallagher are great football fans.

In fact, the Oasis reunion may be partly due to Manchester Citysince the youngest of the Gallagher promised that if the English team won the Champions League in 2023, it would fix things with their brother and bring Oasis back.
Although at first it seemed only a joke, the City won, and now We are months of seeing the first Oasis concert in years. Coincidence? I don’t believe it.

Other artists who could be part of this show are Selena Gomezwith whom Chris has worked before. Maybe he invites her to sing, or she could give her a space in one of the concerts that FIFA has planned.
Selena has a giant fandom worldwide and is an icon in both in the United States and in Latin America. In addition, its Latin roots could be The perfect representation of what the 2026 World Cup attempts to conveysince it will gather the three cultures of North America: Mexico, USA and Canada.
Some other names that could be on stage:
