About Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest
The National Football League and pop music have had an unlikely but successful relationship since the Super Bowl halftime show in 1991 when the year’s hottest boy band, the New Kids on the Block, brought the house down at Tampa Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Throughout the years, this short but sweet halftime gig has only gotten bigger, brighter and more spectacular with performers including Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, U2, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Madonna, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and more. In 2019, the NFL upped the ante even further with the inaugural Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest, a three-day extravaganza that just nearly overshadowed one of the biggest sporting events in the world. With over 41,000 fans in attendance at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena — and nearly 5 million streaming the performances on Twitter — the fest featured top talents including Super Bowl halftime show alumni Bruno Mars and Aerosmith, as well as Cardi B., Post Malone, and hometown hip-hop heroes Ludacris, Ciara, Migos, T.I., Lil Jon, Lil Yachty and Young Jeezy. In 2020, the second Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest goes down in sunny Miami, Florida, from Thursday, January 30, to Saturday, February 1, leading up to Super Bowl LIV. On Thursday, DJ Khaled, DaBaby and a few special guests kick off the festivities with their EA SPORTS BOWL Welcome to Miami Showcase at the AmericanAirlines Arena, the palm-tree–lined venue located along the picturesque Biscayne Bay. Friday sees hard rock icons Guns N’ Roses taking over the stage with original members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagen busting out some of their greatest hits. The festival’s Saturday finale features the previous year’s Super Bowl halftime show headliners Maroon 5 along with a special guest. The three-day event also features surprise celebrity and athlete appearances. If the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest gets any greater, it could threaten to overshadow the main event itself.
The show was good, but the mix of DJ Peewee and The Dave Matthews Band made for a very odd show. This was a horrible opener. He wasn’t even that good and spent most of the set “trying” to cater to the crowd that just wasn’t into what he was doing. DJ Peewee didn’t come out until late and it made for a late show for the headliner. I NEVER miss a local DMB show, but this one definitely missed the mark!
What a treat. Kane put on a great show and even had his wife join on stage - fantastic surprise. Imagine Dragons always is always energetic and truly enjoyable. The only notable concerns were the microphone volume had opportunity to be low reducing our ability to hear the artist or too high making it hard to understand. This and the individual in the rows in front of us that felt comfortable throwing empty beer cans into other fans causing confrontation. Thank you to security to responding.
Line up provided a great show but the long delays between sets and forced introductions made the event a drag.
It’s wrong when a concert starts at 7:00 and the headliner doesn’t come out till 10:30 and is finished at midnight! Total rip-off!!
Started an hour late. Long set up time between bands. Imagine dragons was amazing! 5 1/2 hours especially with a kid was way too long.
I was here for Imagine Dragons. Nightly and Kane Brown was an odd opening act. Genres didn’t mesh well. Footprint Center is huge but seats are tiny and cramped. If you are over 6’ you are going to experience problems. If your neighbor is even slightly overweight they will be spilling into your seat. Personal space is nonexistent. Sound over emphasized bass and vocals were distorted. Despite the problems Imagine Dragons put on a fantastic show and I loved the performance. They are so much fun live.
We loved both (Fri-Sat)nights of the SB Music Fest. While we aren't usual fans of some of the artists that were performed we still had an amazing time. We were even introduced to New artists like DJ Pee Wee. However, both nights the shows started late. Very late on the last night. With a full day of activities and events for the Super Bowl the time of these concerts were late and I guiltily was caught yawning more times than I'd like to admit. I could tell the energy was also going down in the arena as a whole. So please do everyone a favor and either start later (and tell the ticket holders) or start on time (by what is stated on tickets and all information pages).
Great show! Show was held up 45 mins waiting for people running late to arrive.
amazing, fantastic, so much fun. i loved kane brown and imagine dragons so much. felt very safe to be downtown. thank you so much.
Tickets said 7, nothing really happened until 8, lots of space between performances, and the headliner didn’t come on until about 1030. I was expecting the opening acts, but 3 1/2 hours plus time for parking felt like a waste of time. It was pretty frustrating. I absolutely want to support the opening acts and it would’ve been perfect if they’d been ontime and had been back to back. A number of people left while Imagine Dragons was still playing, and the audience energy was low because I think that by that point, we were all simply tired.
My only complaint is that the headliner didn't take the stage until 10:30pm. Given that we came so my son could see his favorite band, it was pretty frustrating that we had to leave before the end of the show because he was so exhausted. Other than that, the acts were fabulous, I loved that they had a deejay during stage changes and the crowd energy was the best I've ever experienced!
Spent SOOO much time waiting! Way more time with the DJ than the bands. Seriously horrible scheduling. Time and money wasted, because when it was finally time for the main event we were exhausted and ready to go and so we did. Still got home at midnight. Just a bummer that we paid so much to sit with a DJ most of the night.
Show was supposed to start at 7pm. With only 2 acts. Show didn’t actually start until 7:45pm with an extra support act and an extra set change. So between doors and the headliner we were waiting around for 4 hours before they even came on stage. Terrible scheduling with zero communication. Who enjoys waiting around for the main act for 4 hours when they add a mystery opener , set change plus start 45 minutes late?!
I took my son for his first ever concert to see Imagine Dragons and Kane Brown. It said it was supposed to start at 7pm. Concert did not start until almost 8pm. I had no idea that Imagine Dragons would not come out until 10pm. My parking pass was set to expire at 10:48pm. I had been in the area since 4:48pm. I paid for 6 hours of parking across street from Footprint Center. I spent to rest of the time in concert worried about getting a ticket when my parking pass expired or having my car towed. With concert like this, they should give a time frame. Most concerts go 2-3 hours. I get with two headliners for it to run a bit longer, but was not expecting to be there 4-5 hours. Also did not like the fact that everything at this venue is card pay only. The concert itself was great. My son really enjoyed himself. There were other people there with little kids that were really upset that Imagine Dragons did not come out until 10pm
Show started 90 minutes after advertised start. Unannounced opening act added to unnecessary delay. Second act, Kane Brown, was as stylistically opposed to headliner (Imagine Dragons) as possible. Terrible choice and went way too long. Imagine Dragons didn’t start until after 10:30pm (3.5 hrs after start). Sadly many families were there to see them and many left early due to the delays. Even the DJ clocked out
Concert was great once it started. Didn't appreciate being told the concert started at 7:00. Kane Brown didn't hit the stage until 8:40 and the Imagine Dragons until 10:30.
The overall experience was great, but the sound for Kane Brown was horrible. We couldn't understand him when he spoke. It was disappointing because we really like him.
We were so happy that Kane Brown's wife joined him on stage Kane Brown put on an amazing performance so did his wife and so did all the other acts Imagine Dragons and nightly such a fun experience for my daughter's first concert
We loved the performance but everything felt rushed. Nightly did not start until 8 pm, an hour late and everything was just frantic feeling from then on. This happened on Thursday night too but with only 2 bands did not leave the same sense of rushing. I also would have liked to see more merch available for Imagine Dragons. We got in right away and they were sold out or did not bring a lot of sizes. Overall the music was great but even the door opening was late.
I will not attend a festival again. The bands were good but it was hours of wasted time and if you aren’t drinking quite boring. I was amazed at the fact there were no limits on drinks as those around us had at least 5. Soooo long. I will only attend band tours in the future as they have a better feel. It was like being at a party where everybody but you was drunk and you came for the music.
