It has been confirmed that Beyoncé will sing at next year's Super Bowl.

As previously reported, the vocal superstar hinted at the news yesterday (October 16) after she uploaded a photo of herself with the date of the American Football event on her cheeks.

The massive game is due to take place on February 3 next year in New Orleans and the event's Twitter has now confirmed that Beyoncé will be performing during its half-time interval.

They also posted the photo, adding confirmation of her slot. It said:

"Beyoncé will perform @pepsi #SB47 Halftime Show in New Orleans. Feb. 3 2013 on @cbs."

Beyoncé performed at the 2004 Super Bowl but only to sing the national anthem, with Madonna and The Black Eyed Peas playing the coveted half-time slot in 2012 and 2011 respectively.
