The biggest FIFA World Cup in history kicks off on 12 June (AEST) in Mexico City, where Grammy Award-winning Mexican pop band Mana will be performing as part of a line-up that also includes Alejandro Fernandez and Belinda, FIFA announced.

The Mexico City concert will highlight Mexican culture and include Indigenous and "modern folkloric" performers, also according to FIFA.

Canadian singers Alanis Morissette, Michael Buble, Alessia Cara, William Prince and Bangladeshi American Sanjoy, who is a Los Angeles-based DJ, will perform ahead of Canada’s opening group stage match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto on 13 June (AEST).

FIFA announced a "mosaic-inspired reimagining of the FIFA World Cup Trophy will reflect Canada's diversity and community" at the concert.

Later that day, American singer-songwriter Katy Perry will headline an opening ceremony ahead of the United States team's match against Paraguay in Los Angeles, where Atlanta rap star Nayvadius Wilburn, better known as Future, will also perform. The line-up also includes Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla.

The US concert is designed around "delivering a high-energy spectacle that reflects the scale, ambition and cultural power of the tournament itself," FIFA claimed.

This year's FIFA World Cup marks the second time the global soccer showcase is being co-hosted by multiple countries.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup was co-hosted by Korea Republic and Japan, with the former staging the opening ceremony.
