Flea and the rest of Red Hot Chili Peppers will jump on to the stage, compliments of fellow performer Bruno Mars, at next month's Super Bowl halftime show. 

The news was announced Saturday during Fox's coverage of an NFC divisional playoff game. 

Mars, a Grammy-winning pop singer, invited the Chili Peppers to join him for the Super Bowl XLVIII festivities on February 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. 

"One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer, Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards," the NFL said in a press release. 

Their hit songs include "Give It Away," "Scar Tissue," "Californication" and "Suck My Kiss." 

Kiedis and Flea, born Michael Balzary, are more than 20 years older than Mars. Their band has pioneered a bold style of rock infused with funk and rap. 

His 50th birthday bash in October 2012 gave Flea time to take stock of his life, he told CNN. 

"I'm definitely wiser, and less likely to make gigantic blunders of an intellectual, spiritual, emotional or physical type," he said. "... But more than anything the passion for the things that I really care about like playing music, and being kind, and children, and the things I love -- sports, books, art -- my passion for all these things has deepened." 

Expectations for Super Bowl halftime performances are always high.
