40. Technicolour Coldplay

From wardrobe malfunctions to M.I.A.'s middle finger, the half time show is a staple of the Super Bowl €“ good or bad €“ and is often the reason given as to why so many non-NFL fans watch the Big Game. In a suitably star-studded show for its half-century, Super Bowl 50 will feature Coldplay after the second quarter €“ as well as several special guests, including some who've performed in their own right, such as Bruno Mars (2014) and Beyonce (2013). Will it be live? That's far from certain €“ but, with the paint-loving, piano-pounding Chris Martin at the helm during half-time, you can be sure of singalongs, spotlights and some serious colour splashes.
