The world’s biggest stage just got a major dose of star power! LISA (Lalisa Manoban), the Thai-born rapper and singer who skyrocketed to global fame with the South Korean powerhouse Blackpink, has officially been drafted by FIFA for the World Cup 2026.

Her management label, LLOUD, has officially confirmed that LISA will be a featured performer at the historic opening ceremony on June 12, 2026, at the iconic SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. As the New York Times recently noted, LISA’s signing marks a significant bridge between the K-pop phenomenon and the world’s most-watched sporting event.

An All-Star Kickoff in Los Angeles

LISA won’t be hitting the pitch alone. Pop royalty Katy Perry is set to headline the Los Angeles festivities. The lineup is a vibrant tapestry of global talent, reflecting the diversity of the host nation. Fans can expect high-energy performances from:

• LISA (Thailand/K-pop icon)
• Katy Perry (Global Pop Superstar)
• Future (Grammy-winning Rapper)
• Anitta, Rema, and Tyla (Global Chart-toppers)
• DJ Sanjoy and Marilina Bogado (Representing the US and Paraguay)

Three Nations, One Massive Celebration

For the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup is being hosted by three nations—the USA, Mexico, and Canada—and each is bringing its own flavor to the opening celebrations.

• Canada (Toronto): On June 12, the Great White North will celebrate with legendary voices Michael Bublé and Alanis Morissette, alongside Alessia Cara.
• Mexico: The party continues south of the border with Latin superstar J Balvin, the captivating Tyla, and local icons like Maná, Alejandro Fernandez, and Belinda.

Beyond the Opening Whistle

The entertainment doesn’t stop at the kickoff. FIFA is planning a summer-long festival of music and sport.

• July 4, 2026: A special “Independence Day” show is set to take place in the United States.
• July 19, 2026: The tournament will reach its fever pitch with the Closing Ceremony and Halftime Show during the Final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey/New York.

Insiders are already calling this the most ambitious entertainment program in football history. With LISA bringing her signature “Lalisa” energy to the SoFi Stadium, the 2026 World Cup is officially the must-see event of the decade.
