Beyoncé performed the Super Bowl halftime show with Coldplay and Bruno Mars in 2016.
The performance took place during Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Coldplay were the primary halftime performers, and Beyoncé and Bruno Mars appeared as featured performers during the show.
Beyoncé performed “Formation,” which had been released shortly before the game, and joined Coldplay for “Up&Up.” Bruno Mars performed “Uptown Funk” and participated in the large ensemble finale. The show was broadcast during a landmark Super Bowl because the game marked the 50th edition of the championship.
This appearance is distinct from Beyoncé’s solo Super Bowl halftime shows in 2013 and 2024. Her 2013 performance headlined Super Bowl XLVII, while the 2024 Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show was headlined by Usher.
