Justin Bieber shocked fans by performing an impromptu gig ahead of his headline performance at FIFA’s first-ever World Cup half-time show, which will feature a star-studded line-up.
The Baby hitmaker performed his chart toppers, including his new song Yukon, to an intimate crowd in New York.
The Canadian singer will perform in a Superbowl style set during the football final on Sunday, which will see Spain face off against Argentina.
He is making the most of his time in the city, as he was also spotted practicing his own football skills, and hanging out with tennis champion Novak Djokovic ahead of the big show.
ITV confirmed to the Press Association that it will show the performance in full as well as match analysis during the final on Sunday at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
Joining Justin Bieber in the half time show will be Madonna, Shakira, BTS, and Burna Boy. It will also feature Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the PS 22 Chorus and characters from Sesame Street and The Muppets.
The entire performance will be curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
It has also been announced that Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, popstar Robbie Williams and US singer Jennifer Hudson will perform during the closing ceremony.
