It’s a good time to be a Coldplay fan. Not only is the British band releasing a new album, A Head Full of Dreams, on Friday, but Chris Martin and the gang will also headline the Super Bowl halftime show in 2016, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing unnamed sources familiar with the event.
The report also says Bruno Mars will perform at the show and Beyoncé is in talks to make a guest appearance.
Coldplay representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Super Bowl 50, which departs from the game’s typical Roman numeral labeling, will air on Feb. 7, 2016. A live postgame episode of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show will also air that night.
Recent halftime show entertainers have included Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and Madonna.
