Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play the halftime slot at the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, snagging the most-watched musical showcase of the year, according to the organisers.
This year, more than 148 million viewers in the US watched Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers play at the championship game of American football, the National Football League said today (NZ time).
Other recent acts have included Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and U2. The most infamous performer was Janet Jackson, who bared her breast during the 2004 event, triggering a crackdown on televised smut.
The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 2 (NZ time).
