Which performer joined Beyoncé and Coldplay during the 2016 Super Bowl 50 halftime show?

The story behind the answer

Bruno Mars joined Beyoncé and Coldplay during the 2016 Super Bowl 50 halftime show.

The performance took place on February 7, 2016, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Coldplay headlined the show, with Chris Martin leading a set built around songs from the band’s catalog.

Beyoncé appeared as a guest and performed “Formation,” which had been released shortly before the game. Bruno Mars also returned to the Super Bowl stage after headlining the halftime show in 2014, joining the ensemble for the large-scale performance.

The show used an outdoor stadium production with dancers, colorful visual displays, and a field-wide finale. It is distinct from Beyoncé’s 2013 Super Bowl XLVII halftime performance, which featured a Destiny’s Child reunion and was a separate event.
