The Black Eyed Peas have been confirmed as the headliners of next year's Super Bowl halftime show.
The 'Time (Dirty Bit)' band will perform during the prestigious championship decider at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on February 6, 2011.

"I've been at every single one of them since that [incident]," will.i.am said. "The Prince one, the Paul McCartney one, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen."
Other acts to have played the Super Bowl halftime show include U2, Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones.
