In an apparent attempt to promote as many professional sporting events as possible, Justin Bieber has now been added to the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show on July 19. The news arrives shortly after the pop star announced the first pick of the NHL Draft for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He joins an already loaded performance lineup of Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, Coldplay, Miss Piggy, Kermit, a chorus of 4th and 5th graders from an elementary school in Staten Island, and—last but certainly not least—the cast of Sesame Street.
It’s been busy a few weeks for Bieber overall. In addition to the World Cup news and NHL cameo, he released live albums from both weekends of his 2026 Coachella set.
