Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, U2, The Who, Katy Perry and even the Black Eyed Peas have all been on stage. The performers have been varied and but not always good.

In particular Prince's 2007 performance of "Purple Rain" in a rainstorm is my all-time favorite halftime set.

We are just shy of a month into the 2018-19 NFL season and it's practically impossible to know which two football teams will go head-to-head on the field of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta for Super Bowl 53.
But, we reportedly do know who'll play the Halftime Show, as two sources confirm to Variety that Maroon 5 "“aka Adam Levine's band "“ will perform in the middle of the NFL's biggest game on Feb. 9, 2019.
