Who is the halftime show leading act?

Justin Timberlake will have the honour of performing in the halftime show at US Bank Stadium.

Over the years, the Super Bowl halftime show has evolved from a basic break to a huge annual spectacle – usually incorporating pyrotechnics, elaborate stage production and megastar performers.

WHO’S THE GOAT? Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Joe Montana… who is the best NFL quarterback ever?


The pop star will be back at the US football extravaganza more than a decade after accidentally exposed her nipple onstage and famously coined the phrase “wardrobe malfunction”.
