The Halftime Lineup

FIFA has confirmed the first-ever halftime show in World Cup history, scheduled for 11 minutes during the break. According to a FIFA press release, the lineup includes:

• Madonna, Shakira, BTS, and Justin Bieber Source: eldiado
• Coldplay, Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Choir Source: lavanguardia

However, some sources suggest the show may last up to 30 minutes, citing a report from The Times Source: infobae. This discrepancy highlights the evolving nature of the event.

Rosalía's Availability

Rosalía is currently on the Latin American leg of her tour for her album Lux (2025). Her schedule includes concerts in Bogotá on July 16 and 18, and in Santiago, Chile on July 24, 25, 27, and 29 Source: emolcl. Given these commitments, it remains uncertain whether she can join the halftime show. Aitana's plea reflects national pride, but many fans argue that Aitana herself should perform, as her song has become an unofficial anthem for Spain's victories .
