After a lot of talk about contenders like Maroon 5 and Adele as performers during the halftime show at Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, the first official act has been confirmed: Avant-garde hard rock band Coldplay. The band will start selling the tickets for their upcoming tour just after their performance at “Super Bowl 50” event, reported The Wall Street Journal.
Chris Martin and his Coldplay crew certainly have the qualifications to headline what’s become the world’s most-watched music event.
Coldplay was long rumored to be a favorite to land the prize gig, with multiple news sources reporting earlier in the day that the deal was done. The band has decided not to make their new album available on “Spotify”, as it provides a free service to all its 80 million users. She has five records worth of material to her name now, and it would be great to see her perform wit guest artists such as Pharell Williams, Wiz Kalifa, The Weeknd, and the like.
The frontman said the band was “excited and honoured and thrilled” to take part in next February’s event.
