Maroon 5 in talks for Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Maroon 5, which has released five records since 2002, just put out Singles, their first greatest hits record. LA pop rockers Maroon 5 may perform at next February’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show. News also mentioned that Coldplay was a possibility for the spot. Your mom’s favorite guilty car-dance pleasure, Maroon 5, is the frontrunner for the gig.

Last month it was reported that Bruno Mars will be “curating” the halftime event, an indication that the use of the word “curate” had not just jumped the proverbial shark but the whole f***ing ocean.

The SUPER BOWL is perennially the most-watched television event of the year, as Perry’s SUPER BOWL performance drew 121 million viewers, the highest viewership for the halftime special according to Nielsen.

The R&B artist had previously performed in Super Bowl 48 while sharing the stage with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who only performed one song.

Representatives of the NFL and Maroon 5 declined comment when contacted. That corroborates a report from E! However, the source says Levine’s band is the current front-runner for the gig.

Super Bowl 50 will take place on February 7, 2016 in Santa Clara, Calif. Last year, Perry was announced as the halftime pick on November 23, so we might still have some time before this is business is finalized once and for all. The game will be televised on CBS.
