BOLD PREDICTION: Although you feel cool for bashing the Coldplay Super Bowl halftime show, it's actually gonna be pretty legit.

The band's latest album "A Head Full of Dreams," which will be released December 4, features collaborations with artists including Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, and Tove Lo, so there is always the chance that they might also appear (the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up for Bruno Mars' set last year). Gwenyth Paltrow, who was formerly married to Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, also appears on the album.
