## Summary

Ellie Goulding is to perform during the half-time interval of England's 2026 World Cup quarter-final against Norway, sharing her excitement in an Instagram post ahead of the game. Writing that performing at the match had her "feeling like truly anything could happen" — a nod to her 2012 hit of the same name — she added that "the boys will make England proud" and that "it's coming home".

The match takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, on Saturday 11 July, with kick-off scheduled for 10pm UK time. England reached the last eight with a dramatic 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico, while Norway secured their first-ever World Cup quarter-final by beating Brazil 2-1, with Erling Haaland scoring twice; the winners will face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-finals. Goulding is meanwhile preparing to release her sixth studio album, 'I Know Too Much', on 4 September, following 2023's UK Number One 'Higher Than Heaven', and recently shared the single 'Black Prada Dress'.
