Everything You Need to Know About The Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show Lighting

Lighting designer veteran Bob Barnhart of 22 Degrees is no stranger to creating the magic that lights the world’s hottest artists at the big game. He has lit numerous Halftime Shows, sometimes in climates so cold he became worried the lights would freeze. Fortunately, the weather was spectacular on Sunday, February 3, 2019 for Super Bowl LIII. 

Bob took on the great honor of lighting Adam Levine and Maroon 5, as well as chart-topping rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi for this year’s Halftime Show. His plots are extensive, and must be built insight in a matter of minutes in front of 75,000 people in attendance!

Here we’ve shared Mr. Barnhart’s lighting plots for this major concert, as well as the lighting gear list, and lighting crew credits. Contact us at 888-567-8243 to grab some gear from this list for your next show!
