Burna Boy to Perform at Historic FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has been confirmed as one of the headline performers for the first-ever halftime show at the FIFA World Cup final.
The Afrobeats star will join an international lineup featuring Madonna, Shakira, BTS and Justin Bieber during the historic entertainment spectacle scheduled for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday, July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States.
The halftime performance, curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, marks the first time FIFA will stage a Super Bowl-style musical show during the World Cup final.
The event is expected to be one of the most-watched live entertainment broadcasts globally.
Burna Boy is also expected to perform “Dai Dai,” the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Colombian superstar Shakira.
The song has enjoyed widespread global recognition since the tournament began.
The halftime show will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative aimed at raising funds to expand access to education and football opportunities for children around the world.
Burna Boy’s inclusion further cements his position as one of Africa’s biggest global music exports, adding another milestone to a career that has seen him perform on some of the world’s biggest stages.
