Original story
The football teams that will face off in Super Bowl LIII are still to be determined, but the halftime performers are now set.
Pop band Maroon 5 will do the honors with help from two hip-hop heavyweights, according to an announcement Sunday. Big Boi, the Atlanta rapper and one-half of legendary duo Outkast, and Travis Scott, the genre's buzziest hit-maker out of Houston, are also slated for the event.
Maroon 5 and company follow Justin Timberlake, who performed during the 2018 Super Bowl in one of the most controversial halftime shows of recent memory.
Super Bowl LIII comes to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Feb. 3, 2019.
