Madonna is to perform during the interval at next year's Super Bowl, it has been confirmed.

The 53-year-old singer will take to the stage at the game on Sunday 5 February at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Her performance is expected to coincide with the release of her 12th studio album and she will collaborate with a team from Cirque du Soleil.

Last year Black Eyed Peas performed during the half-time break.

Broadcast around the world, more than 162 million viewers tuned into last year's half-time entertainment.

Other artists who've played the prestigious slot include Prince, the Rolling Stones and U2.

In 2004, the CBS TV network was fined after pop star Janet Jackson had what was called a "wardrobe malfunction".

The singer exposed her right breast during a dance routine with Justin Timberlake.

Madonna's last album Hard Candy was released in 2008.

Following a world tour she has directed a film, W.E., which is to be released in the UK in January 2012.

Her new album will be her first album since parting ways with record label Warner Brothers.

She has now signed a new deal with entertainment firm Live Nation.

Last month Madonna's manager said the singer was "very upset" that a demo version of her new single, Give Me All Your Love, had leaked online months ahead of release.

Guy Oseary tweeted to say material from the star's new album was not supposed to be released until 2012.

"Madonna told me this morning 'my true fans wouldn't do this'. Whoever is responsible for this leak, we ask that you please stop," he wrote.

significant improvement (but then again, James Morrison would be a significant improvement on the BEP fiasco)

MIA has confirmed that she will be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj at the halftime show at the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis on February 5.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on his BBC Radio 1 show this evening (January 30), the UK rapper and singer said of the iconic American football event's musical interlude: "Yes, I'm going to the Super Bowl… I'm gonna be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj... If you're gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go with America's biggest female icons."

MIA and Minaj both feature on Madonna's forthcoming single, 'Give Me All Your Luvin', which is set for release on February 3. It's the first single to be taken from Madonna's forthcoming album, 'MDNA', which is out on March 26 through Interscope Records.

During the interview, MIA also spoke about her next solo album, saying that she is working on it with "European producers" and that she wants it to be released in the summer. "I want it to be a summer thing", she said, "because it's a summer record."

MIA's brand new single 'Bad Girls' debuted on BBC Radio 1 today (January 30). It was recorded in Miami with producer Danja, who has also worked with the likes of Madonna and Nelly Furtado. The song's video will be released on February 3.

'Bad Girls' is the first track to be taken from the singer's as yet untitled fourth album. It is MIA's first album for new label Mercury Records after she left XL Recordings at the completion of her contract. MIA's fourth album, which is the follow-up to her 2010 record 'Maya', is rumoured to feature contributions from Swizz Beatz, Cataracs and Chris Brown.
