Beyoncé will perform at this year's Super Bowl 50 halftime show.

The 34-year-old megastar will return to the largest televised event in US sports alongside Bruno Mars, and a band who goes by the name of Coldplay, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.

Organisers are still expected to announce one more headliner for the event, Entertainment Tonight reports.

Yoncé previously headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013. She was then accompanied by fellow Destiny Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

In 2015, Katy Perry and her well-choreographed sharks broke the record for the most watched halftime show in history with 118 million viewers.

This year's NFL event pops off on February 7, 2016.
