British alternative rockers You Me At Six have gotten the jump on the NFL’s possible “pay-to-play” policy for the Super Bowl XLIX in 2015. The NFL is considering this new policy, and names like Coldplay, Rihanna, and Katy Perry have all been tossed into the ring. Oddly enough, You Me At Six recently played BBC 1’s Big Weekend in Glasgow and Coldplay and Katy Perry were also on the bill. Before the NFL has made an official decision, You Me At Six have taken initiative and made a bid to play the 2015 Halftime Show.
Dear NFL:
We’re sorry to hear that you’re in such dire financial straits. While Coldplay and Rihanna mull your offer, we’re here to help with a multi-tiered proposal:
1. For $2 Million: We get to play the upcoming halftime show.
2. For $10 Million, one of us gets to quarterback a set of downs for the team of our choosing.
3. For $40 Million, the Super Bowl will be played with English football rules, where you must use your feet, and an actual ball.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to review. We welcome any of the Super Bowl committee to attend one of our upcoming American concerts. Our tour kicks off September 15th at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, CA.
Warmly,
You Me At Six (Josh, Dan, Max Chris, Matt)
