Musical Show at the 2026 World Cup Final: Shakira, Madonna, and BTS will shine in New York

Shakira, Madonna, and BTS have been chosen to perform at the final of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place on July 19 in New York. Shakira, known for hits like 'Waka Waka,' is the author of the official song of the 2026 World Cup, 'Dai Dai.' Coldplay's singer, Chris Martin, selected these artists through Global Citizen to create a show that will blend American pop culture with Latin and South Korean rhythms.

An innovative show

Although FIFA has not confirmed all the details, it is expected that the inclusion of a halftime show, typical of sporting events in the United States, will extend the duration of the final's break beyond the usual 15 minutes. This format was already tested during last year's FIFA Club World Cup, where J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems delivered a halftime show that lasted 25 minutes, as a rehearsal for the 2026 World Cup.

Big names in the opening ceremony

In addition to the final show, FIFA has announced the artists who will participate in the opening ceremonies in each host country of the World Cup. Names like J Balvin, Alejandro Fernández, Katy Perry, and Anitta will be part of these events, which are expected to feature a combination of international talent to kick off the football party.
