Cage the Elephant Will Play the Halftime Show at NFL's Munich Game

The halftime entertainment at the Lions/Patriots game in Munich, Germany, on Nov. 15 will be headlined by Cage the Elephant. Matt Shultz of Cage the Elephant performs onstage at the iHeartRadio ALTer EGO 2026 held at the Kia Forum on January 17, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. 'We have played a lot of shows in Germany over the years and the crowds here have always given us everything they have,' Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz says in a statement. 'Playing a halftime show is a completely different animal — you get one shot in front of a stadium and a global audience, and you have to make every second count. We are going to bring the same energy we bring to our own shows and we cannot wait. ' Cage the Elephant's halftime show in Berlin is part of a series of halftime performances by major acts at NFL games in overseas markets. The Jonas Brothers are playing at the NFL Melbourne Game in Melbourne, Australia, on Sept. 10, and Pedro Sampaio and Ricky Martin will be performing at the NFL Rio Game on Sept. 27 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Donald Trump Spent the Weekend Cosplaying as a Supervillain on Truth Social 'Munich has given us some of the most memorable atmospheres of any international game we have staged, and we wanted a halftime act that could meet a crowd like that head on,' Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation, music and entertainment at the NFL, says in a statement. 'Cage the Elephant are one of the great live rock bands working today. Germany has a deep rock tradition and a football crowd that sings from start to finish, and we look forward to collaborating with the band on a performance that captures the energy that matches the moment. ' It's been a relatively quiet year for Cage the Elephant where their live activity has been limited to a handful of U.S. festival appearances . But they dropped their new single 'Beaches in Tennessee' in July, and are working on the follow-up to their 2024 LPDave Bautista Shows Off Body Transformation to Play Kratos in 'God of War' Series: 'Two More Months to Get to Where I Need to Be'Rolling Stone is a part of PMX Global, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation. © 2026 Rolling Stone, LLC.
