Coldplay will be the halftime performer during Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, California, the NFL announced Thursday during the Packers-Lions game.
Incidentally, all NFL 50 yard lines this season are painted, well, yellow.
Coldplay has a new album out Friday, called A Head Full of Dreams. The Verge reported the band will follow the leads of Taylor Swift and Adele in keeping their album off ad-supported streaming music services like Spotify.
The Super Bowl will take place on Feb. 7 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Early rumors had suggested Maroon 5 would get the Super Bowl 50 headline bill.
Recent Super Bowl performers, including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and Beyonce, have been slated for appearances during the extended halftime.
In a video posted on YouTube, Chris Martin said the band was "honored and thrilled" to play the show.
