Madonna has been signed on as the star for the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show, sponsored by Bridgestone Americas.
The rock and pop icon will hit the stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.
She follows a long line of presumed “safe” music acts, such as Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Paul McCartney and U2, as well as last year’s effort by the Black Eyed Peas.
