NEW YORK -- The Who will perform at halftime of the Super Bowl this season.

The NFL announced during Thursday's game between the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys that the longtime rock band known for classic hits such as "Pinball Wizard" and "Baba O'Riley" will play Feb. 7 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.

Driven by singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend, the band's two remaining original members, The Who gained fame in the mid-1960s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Recent halftime acts at the Super Bowl have included Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Prince and the Rolling Stones.

The Super Bowl halftime show is sponsored by Bridgestone.

I love The Who but, at the same time I'm so sick of washed up rockstars performing at the SB. Couple years ago they had the Stones play and they sucked. The same can be said with Aerosmith............blah....meh

That's because they are afraid of what happened with Justin and Janet. They don't want to take another chance.

I love The Who. They can still rock!
