Next year’s Super Bowl halftime show is unlikely to be political, but it still may wind up dividing people into two camps: Maroon 5 fans, and everyone else. A source close to the band told Us Weekly that Maroon 5 has “pretty much accepted” an offer to headline the halftime show for the 2019 Super Bowl, which will take place in Atlanta. Two sources also confirmed the news to Variety.

The Super Bowl host committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine told Howard Stern in 2015 that his band very much had the Super Bowl on their wish list. At the time, he said that there had been no conversations about him headlining a Super Bowl performance. The following Super Bowl, 2016, Beyoncé graced the field and performed “Formation” for the first time and announced her tour of the same name. That groundbreaking and political performance, was, to say the least, very different from a Maroon 5 show.

The 39-year-old Voice host may finally get his wish, which means that Adam Levine fans will rejoice, and Jezebel can take another turn at a post titled “Adam Levine Is the Worst.”
