Maroon 5 confirmed for Super Bowl halftime show along with Travis Scott and Big Boi, but fans urge them to pull out
American pop rock band Maroon 5 have been confirmed as 2019 Super Bowl halftime show headliners along with rappers Big Boi and Travis Scott.
The band will be performing live in Atlanta on February 3 at the 53rd Super Bowl and the 49th modern-era National Football League championship game which will decide the league champion for the 2018 NFL season.
It is one of the biggest gigs in the world and more than 100 million people will tune in to watch the event. Maroon 5's decision to perform isn't without controversy and the response to the announcement wasn't exactly what they had hoped as more than 84,000 fans signed an online petition to pull out of the show.
Really disappointed @maroon5 agreed to perform at @SuperBowl. Many other artists refused because in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. Sad they sold out. I won’t be watching. #SuperBowl
