The final artistic show of the 2026 World Cup will feature a number of the world's top stars: Tom Cruise, Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, and BTS, at MetLife Stadium during the final match between Argentina, the defending champion, and Spain on Sunday evening. After five weeks of competition, 104 matches held in three countries (Mexico, the United States, and Canada), and for the first time gathering 48 teams, the 2026 World Cup will finally reveal its champion, but before knowing whether 'La Albiceleste,' led by Lionel Messi, or 'La Roja' led by Lamine Yamal, its rising star, will win the title, 80,000 spectators at the stadium and billions of viewers around the world will witness a parade of stars during the closing ceremony and then during the musical performance between the halves of the final. In the first part of the celebrations, which will start at 1:30 PM US time, Tom Cruise is expected to appear. After his rappelling descent into the Stade de France during the Olympic flag handover ceremony between Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028, what the Hollywood star will present to the audience this time remains under wraps. Also present will be Robbie Williams, Laura Pausini, and Nicole Scherzinger, performers of the official tournament anthem 'Desire.' Content creator 'IShowSpeed,' who has 160 million followers, has also been invited, along with rapper Post Malone, while Oscar-winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson will perform the US national anthem. The second part kicks off with an 11-minute musical performance between the halves, described by FIFA President Gianni Infantino as 'the greatest show in history.' During this show, inspired by Super Bowl halftime shows and directed by Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, featuring an international and multi-generational artistic lineup, American star Madonna, who recently released a new album at age 67, will take the stage with Canadian Justin Bieber, South Korean K-pop group BTS, and Shakira, who has extensive experience in World Cup performances. It is expected that the Colombian singer's song 'Da Da' with Afrobeats star Burna Boy, which accompanied the tournament throughout the competition, will be performed again. Venezuelan orchestra conductor Gustavo Dudamel will also participate in the closing ceremony alongside Coldplay. The anticipated closing ceremony aims to raise funds for an educational program run by FIFA and the non-governmental organization Global Citizen, which Chris Martin co-founded.
