Musicians
Katy
Perry,
Rihanna
and
Coldplay
are
likely
to
perform
at
the
Super
Bowl
if
they're
willing
to
cough
up
the
cash.
Super
Bowl
is
the
annual
championship
game
of
the
National
Football
League
(NFL).
It
is
expected
to
take
place
Feb
1,
2015
at
the
University
of
Phoenix
stadium
in
Glendale
here.
According
to
a
report
published
in
the
Wall
Street
Journal,
the
NFL
has
already
established
three
frontrunners
for
the
2015
half-time
performance
-
Perry,
Rihanna
and
Coldplay.
But
now
there's
apparently
a
cash-fuelled
catch
behind
the
iconic
gig.
Upon
informing
the
musical
acts
of
their
candidacy,
the
NFL
also
asked
the
hitmakers'
representatives
if
they
would
be
willing
"to
contribute
a
portion
of
their
post-Super
Bowl
tour
income
to
the
league,
or
if
they
would
make
some
other
type
of
financial
contribution,
in
exchange
for
the
half-time
gig,"
the
Wall
Street
Journal
reports.
The
request
was
ill-received
by
the
half-time
contenders,
as
artists
have
never
previously
paid
to
perform
at
the
annual
championship
game.
While
it's
currently
unclear
how
much
money
the
league
is
seeking,
NFL
spokeswoman
Joanna
Hunter
said
that
the
only
goal
is
"to
put
on
the
best
possible
show."
"Our
contract
arrangements
with
artists
are
confidential,"
Hunter
said.
