Super Bowl is one of the most anticipated events in the United States. In addition to the exciting game of football between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos on Feb. 7, people are also thrilled to find out who among the top performing artists will appear at the half-time show.
This year's show is expected to be epic. Big names from the entertainment industry have already confirmed their commitment to perform this Feb. 7.
British band Coldplay and the American singer Beyoncé will be headlining the event's half-time extravaganza. There are talks that Bruno Mars might join the fun but this has not been confirmed yet by both Mars and the National Football League (NFL).
However, Coldplay front man, Chris Martin was the one who took the news to Twitter that the "When I Was Your Man" singer will join him, alongside Beyoncé. Billboard has reached out to the league, Mars, and Coldplay regarding Mars' participation, but so far no comment has been given yet.
Two years ago, Mars gave fans a legendary performance during the Super Bowl 48 half-time show. Many believe that it was one of the best in the event's history. Mars was joined by American rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and it was the most viewed Super Bowl half-time show ever during that time.
The record was broken during last year's half-time show, which showcased the talent of Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliot. Super Bowl 49 half-time show was headed by "Firework" hitmaker Katy Perry.
It is going to be an exciting Super Bowl 50 this year. Fans have high expectations from both the game of football and the artists who will be performing. The league has also expressed its trust in Coldplay's artistic talent to give an awesome performance to the crowd during the event.
"Martin is designing a show that will echo elements of the NFL's On the Fifty campaign — honoring the past, recognizing the present and looking ahead to the next 50 years, including other special artists," a statement from the league reads.
Super Bowl 2016 will be broadcast by CBS on Sunday, Feb. 7 starting at 6:30 p.m. EST; half-time is expected to be around 8 p.m. EST.
