Coldplay to play 2016 Super Bowl Halftime show: report
Coldplay will storm the 2016 Super Bowl stage as the annual NFL game's halftime show performer, a source confirmed to Billboard. (The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.)
The British rock group -- Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Johnny Buckland and Will Champion -- will make their halftime-show debut at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 7, 2016. The Super Bowl is a notable tour stop on their forthcoming trek across the globe; Coldplay announced the first string of dates in Europe and Latin America earlier this month.
