Under These Lights, We Delivered
The Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show was one for the ages, with Kendrick Lamar making history as the first solo rap artist to headline the show, joined by SZA for a performance watched by millions.
Forum Production Group was proud to provide lighting support for lighting designers Al Gurdon and Ben Green, supplying the technology, equipment, and technical expertise needed to help bring their creative vision to life on one of the world’s biggest stages.
Productions of this scale demand extraordinary preparation, precision, and coordination:
- Nearly 60,000 feet—more than 11 miles—of fiber optic cable were deployed throughout the production.
- Elation Lighting Proteus Radius fixtures helped power the striking visuals that illuminated the stage.
- Pathway Connectivity designed and tested an advanced fiber integration solution utilizing Via 12 Ethernet Switches to support seamless data transmission.
- The Forum Production Group Nashville team brought extensive technical expertise and attention to detail to the preparation, assembly, and deployment of the equipment required for the production.
We’re proud to have played a role in bringing another unforgettable halftime performance to life and continuing our work behind some of entertainment’s most ambitious live productions.
