Matt Shultz of Cage the Elephant performs onstage at the iHeartRadio ALTer EGO 2026 held at the Kia Forum on January 17, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. Gilbert Flores/Billboard/Getty Images Cage the Elephant are heading to Munich, Germany, on Nov. 15 to headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Munich Game, where the New England Patriots take on the Detroit Lions.
“We have played a lot of shows in Germany over the years and the crowds here have always given us everything they have,” Cage the Elephant’s Matt Shultz says in a statement. “Playing a halftime show is a completely different animal — you get one shot in front of a stadium and a global audience, and you have to make every second count. We are going to bring the same energy we bring to our own shows and we cannot wait.”
Cage the Elephant’s halftime show in Berlin is part of a series of halftime performances by major acts at NFL games in overseas markets. The Jonas Brothers are playing at the NFL Melbourne Game in Melbourne, Australia, on Sept. 10, and Pedro Sampaio and Ricky Martin will be performing at the NFL Rio Game on Sept. 27 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
