Madonna to star in halftime show of Super Bowl XLVI

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Madonna will perform in the halftime show of Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, the NFL announced late Sunday.

She joins a who’s who of music on the list of Super Bowl performers — including The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and U2.

The pop queen’s performance will see her team with Cirque Du Soleil and will follow the opening of her film “W.E.” — about the love affair between Britain’s King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson — two days earlier.

Super Bowl XLVI will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
