US Magazine reported that Bruno Mars will also be involved with the show.
Mars was part of the memorable 2013 Super Bowl halftime performance:
Super Bowl 50 will take place on February 7, 2016 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Here was some of Twitter’s reaction to the news:
The Bay Area has been a premier music spot for the last half century. And we get Coldplay for Super Bowl 50 halftime show? Weak.
