BTS Performs 'Dynamite' at First-Ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show
July 19, 2026 — BTS takes the field at the FIFA World Cup Final in New Jersey for the tournament's first-ever halftime show, performing their 2020 hit 'Dynamite' in coordinated red, white and black outfits. The Chris Martin-curated, Global Citizen-produced show — featuring conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the New York Philharmonic, and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela — also included sets from Madonna, Justin Bieber, and Shakira (with Burna Boy). BTS joined all performers on stage for 'We Dance,' an original song written by Coldplay for the show. The appearance follows the group's confirmation for the slot back in May and caps a whirlwind 48 hours after wrapping the ARIRANG World Tour's European leg in Paris.
