An electric opening ceremony

Scheduled to take place between June 11 and July 19, 2026, the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament will unfold across three host nations, the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Unlike previous editions, FIFA is planning multiple opening ceremonies across the host countries, making this one of the largest entertainment spectacles the World Cup has ever seen.

Among the biggest highlights for Indian fans is Nora Fatehi, who is set to perform at the opening ceremony in Toronto on June 12 at BMO Field. Meanwhile, K-pop fans are especially excited about Lisa joining the World Cup celebrations. According to reports, the BLACKPINK star will perform during the United States curtain-raiser at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles ahead of the opening match between the U.S. and Paraguay. Adding even more star power to the ceremony is Katy Perry, who is reportedly set to headline the U.S. opening event. The lineup also includes major international names like Anitta, Future, Rema, Tyla, Michael Bublé, Alanis Morissette, Alessia Cara, and Jessie Reyez among many others.
