Shore Fire Media, a Dolphin Entertainment subsidiary (NASDAQ:DLPN), returned as the festival's music agency. This year, over 38,000 music fans attended the star-studded three-night event, which kicked off on Thursday, February 9 and culminated in a Super Bowl Eve show on Saturday, February 11 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ.

The event welcomed exhilarating fan favorites each night, including the beloved trio Paramore with special guests Bleachers, led by mega-producer Jack Antonoff (Feb 9); the iconic Dave Matthews Band and special guest DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak, in an all vinyl set) (Feb 10); and the powerful pairing of Imagine Dragons, Kane Brown and Nightly (Feb 11).

Highlights from the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest included:

Thursday night kicked off with two high energy performances from Paramore and Bleachers. Budda Baker (safety for Arizona Cardinals) introduced Bleachers to the stage to commence the night and the band delivered a 60 minute performance, wowing the crowds. Paramore soon followed, celebrating the same day release of their new album "This Is Why" as it dropped at midnight while the band was on stage performing. The band pulled a fan onstage to join, sing and finish out the set in celebration.

Friday night continued on a high note with headliners Dave Matthews Band and DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak). Flavor Flav joined DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak) on stage, and Dave Grohl joined the fans to watch his pals Dave Matthews Band perform a two-hour thrilling set.

Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest wrapped its third night at capacity featuring high energy performances from Nightly, Kane Brown and Imagine Dragons. Sportscaster Charissa Thompson kicked off the night introducing Kane Brown, who later performed his hit song "Thank God" with his wife Katelyn live for the first time in the U.S. while also celebrating the song's ascent to No. 1 at country radio. WWE stars The Bella Twins introduced Imagine Dragons, who performed a solid hour and a half of their hits with confetti and pyrotechnics to the sold out arena. The jam-packed celebrity onlookers included Tim McGraw, Dustin Lynch, Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys), Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins), Derrick Brooks (Football Hall of Famer), Austin Johnson (Tennessee Titans), Anthony Hill (actor), Ninja (Tyler Blevins) and more.

An anchor event of Super Bowl weekend, the fest continues to expand and redefine the experience of music at one of the world's premier sporting events - with top-tier artists and exciting performances across genres. The New York Times has called it the "extended Super Bowl half-time show," and Pollstar dubbed it "the biggest show … a three-night affair featuring top artists that would be a major event under any circumstances."

"The fourth year of the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest was packed with three nights of unforgettable performances from today's leading music stars," said Paul Caine, President of On Location and IMG Events. "The event has truly become an integral part of every fan's overall Super Bowl experience."

"Bud Light has continued to make it easy for music fans during Super Bowl weekend to come together, and this year was no different," said Lane Joyce, Director of Experiential Marketing for Bud Light. "Our Super Bowl Music Fest has become known for amazing cross-genre performances, and we are thankful to the thousands of fans that chose to spend some time with us before the big game this weekend."

Bleachers' Jack Antonoff said, "Loved performing at this fest! Really cool to share the stage with Paramore on the night of their album release."

Kane Brown said, "I came to the Fest as a fan a few years ago, and to be back playing for the sold out crowd from the stage tonight during Super Bowl weekend was amazing."
