PRG Supports the Apple Music Halftime Show with Lighting Expertise
Usher electrified the Apple Music Halftime stage during Sunday's Big Super Bowl LVIII Game with his sensational performance, accompanied by surprise guest appearances. Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil Jon, Ludacris, will.i.am, and Jermaine Dupri joined the eight-time Grammy winner as he performed 12 hits from his three-decade-spanning career for an audience of over 30 million households.
PRG was honored to support brilliant Lighting Designer Al Gurdon for the most-watched musical performance of the year on television. With our expertise in networking, power distribution, and lighting, we contributed to the seamless execution of this monumental event. But before any skepticism arises, let's pause for a moment. We invite you to envision yourself on skates, commanding the stage with the same fiery energy and precision as the performers. It's no small feat, and we're proud to have played a role in bringing this spectacular show to life.
