If FIFA and Coldplay are not going to get The Dickies to do the World Cup half-time show in 2026 then they should not bother - the event will become Super Bowl lite

Chris Martin from popular British rock band Coldplay will be closely involved in the organization of next year's FIFA World Cup. The 2026 soccer championship is set to take place June 11 to July

James Blake has called out those who slam Coldplay and declared lead singer Chris Martin as a "melodic genius". The Retrograde singer felt compelled to stand up for the band during an appearance on BBC Sounds’ Sidetracked podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac.

Coldplay released their latest LP Moon Music and Chris Martin said the band wouldn’t be making that many more albums. Now, the frontman is working alongside FIFA to help curate the first ever halftime show at the World Cup final next year.
