Black Eyed Peas will perform at next year’s Super Bowl, it’s been announced.

The group will play the half-time show on February 6 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Black Eyed Peas will follow in the footsteps of The Who, Rolling Stones and Prince, who have all performed at the spectacle.

The half-time show courted extra attention in 2004 when Janet Jackson endured a “wardrobe malfunction” during a performance with Justin Timberlake.

The teams for the 2011 contest have yet to be determined.

Meanwhile, Black Eyed Peas release their new album ‘The Beginning’ this month.
