NEW YORK (AP) — The Who will perform at halftime of the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.

The NFL announced during Thursday’s game between the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys that the longtime British rock band known for hits such as “Pinball Wizard” and “Baba O’Riley” will play 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.
