The NFL formally announced Thursday night that the British rockers will perform during the Super Bowl 50 halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 7.
The NFL noted that frontman Chris Martin is designing a show that will echo elements of its "On the Fifty" campaign, focusing on the past, present and future of the league. Other, as-yet-unnamed artists will take part.
Coldplay -- whose new album, A Head Full Of Dreams, is out Friday -- will also be featured in a behind-the-scenes miniseries on Pepsi.com, beginning January 11, about the making of the halftime show. Pepsi is sponsoring the halftime show.
Katy Perry headlined this year's Super Bowl halftime show.
