NEW YORK (AP) -- Madonna will perform at halftime of the Super Bowl in Indianapolis in February.
NBC, which broadcasts football's biggest game, announced during the Detroit-New Orleans game Sunday night that the Grammy Award-winning singer will take the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium on Feb. 5.
The Super Bowl halftime show is the most-watched musical event of the year, with more than 162 million in the U.S. watching The Black Eyed Peas' performance in Dallas last February.
Madonna, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, joins such acts as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Prince, U2, Paul McCartney, The Who and the Rolling Stones to perform during recent Super Bowls. She will collaborate with a team from Cirque du Soleil, choreographer Jamie King, and artists from Moment Factory.

December 5, 2011 at 1:38AM EST Reply to CommentAs Seth Meyers said: "Just when you think the Super Bowl can't outdo itself; you're right." what the producers and sponsors should be doing is trying to get Led Zeppelin to do a reunion show for the halftime. Or at least get someone relevant and talented like The Foo Fighters, QOTSA, Muse, thenewno2, etc.

December 5, 2011 at 2:54AM EST Reply to CommentWouldn't have been my choice either, Slappy, but the Super Bowl draws a ton of people who aren't part of the NFL's normal core audience.
And how was this a surprise? I remember hearing about this back in late summer.
