Halftime Lighting and Networking

Rihanna's highly anticipated halftime performance was nothing short of gravity-defying, as she took the stage with seven flown platforms, surrounded by over 200 dancers dressed in all white. In a solo moment that left no room for disappointment, the Roc Nation superstar wowed the audience with a medley of her greatest hits, culminating in a powerful rendition of her song 'Diamonds' in a 13-minute mash-up.

For over two decades, PRG has been the trusted lighting provider for the halftime show. This year, in collaboration with PRG Forum, they once again delivered impeccable lighting and fiber network integration throughout the stadium, as designed by Al Gurdon and Ben Green. The show's Lighting Director, Harry Forster, along with Eric Marchwinski and Mark Humphrey as show programmers and Alen Sisul as the gaffer, worked tirelessly to bring the spectacular visual elements to life.

The show's conceptualization was attributed to Willo Perron, while Bruce Rodgers served as the Creative Director and Production Designer. PRG's impressive gear, including cables, networking, power, and more than 600 lighting fixtures, including their proprietary PRG Ground Control Longthrow™ units, controlled by three Full GrandMA3s and one Light, played a pivotal role in creating the mesmerizing atmosphere.
