From BTS to Madonna & More, Who Are You Most Excited to See Perform at the 2026 World Cup? Vote!

The 2026 World Cup will be a coming together of soccer teams — and artists — from all around the globe, with BTS, Madonna and more set to perform at different points in this year’s FIFA tournament.

Global Citizen announced Thursday (May 14) that the K-pop boy band and Queen of Pop will perform along with Shakira at the coveted final match taking place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay, the showcase will mark the first time the World Cup final has ever featured a halftime program.

“This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world,” the sports association’s president, Gianni Infantino, wrote on Instagram in March last year when announcing the inaugural halftime expedition.

But the grand finale is just one of several musical performances fans have to look forward to ahead of the World Cup — which kicks off on June 11 and runs until the final game — as a number of other global superstars have also signed on to headline the opening ceremonies of games scheduled for all around the world. Katy Perry and Future are locked in to perform at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on June 12 before the U.S. team faces off against Paraguay, while Michael Bublé and Alanis Morissette will give a musical kickoff before Canada takes on Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto on the same day.

LISA, Anitta, J Balvin, Danny Ocean and several others are also on the full opening ceremonies lineup. But of all of those names, who are you the most excited to see? Cast your vote in the poll below ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
