Sports Illustrated is staging a concert and fan-events series tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with performances by 50 Cent, Nelly, and The Chainsmokers, among other artists. The Independent reports the three acts are set to headline the Sports Illustrated World Cup concert lineup, described as part of a broader fan experience around the tournament. Billboard adds that the events are part of Sports Illustrated’s “Beyond the Pitch” series and will take place across multiple cities during the summer. Billboard also includes Diplo in its list of performers for the fan events, indicating a wider roster than the headline acts highlighted by The Independent. Both outlets frame the series as connected to World Cup celebrations and marketed directly toward fans, rather than as a standalone festival announced only in one location. Details such as the specific city dates, venues, and ticketing information are not included in the provided excerpts.
