Summary
At the “New York New Jersey” Stadium, Post Malone opened the World Cup final ceremony with “Chrome Heartbreaker,” a new track he had teased for the past week, 90 minutes before kickoff.
The set followed FIFA’s plan to fuse sport and pop spectacle before the Spain-Argentina final, with Malone also performing “Wow” and “Sunflower.”
Tom Cruise, Jennifer Hudson and IShowSpeed added to the pregame bill, while Justin Bieber is set to headline halftime alongside Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
The final capped a month of star-heavy performances across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, from Shakira and Burna Boy in Mexico City to Katy Perry in Los Angeles.
The 2026 tournament is nearing its close, and FIFA has already set the 2030 World Cup—its 100th anniversary edition—for Morocco, Portugal and Spain.
