The Black Eyed Peas are the confirmed Super Bowl XLV half time show headliners.
Unconfirmed reports that the Black Eyed Peas were going to play the half time show had circulated for two months before it became official.
The Peas have been a part of other football shows. They took part in the 2005 Super Bowl pregame show titled, “Bridging Generations” and performed at the NFL Kickoff Concert in Pittsburgh in 2009.
The hip-pop act will be the first representation of pop music since the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake “wardrobe malfunction” in 2004. In years since the incident, the half time bookers selected more seasoned acts such as Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and the Who.
David Hill, Fox Sports president, vowed that the musical entertainment would get younger once the Super Bowl moved back to his network in 2011.
Super Bowl XLV will take place at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.
