Private Celebration featuring John Fogerty and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons
Empire delivered a private concert by legendary rock musicians for a birthday celebration at a client’s private estate in Northern New England.
For this intimate event of approximately 70 guests, Empire secured a 75-minute headline performance of John Fogerty, the Co-Founder of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Rock ’n Roll Hall of Famer, alongside a special guest performance by Billy Gibbons, guitarist and lead singer of ZZ Top and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer.
The event took place in a constructed tent in an open field. Following a dinner, a surprise reveal of the stage introduced the evening’s headline entertainment.
When Fogerty and Gibbons hit the stage, everyone got up to sing and dance to their classic hits including, “Proud Mary”, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”, “Centerfield”, "Sharped Dressed Man", and “La Grange”.
Prior to the performance, the guests enjoyed an intimate dinner and an exciting 20-minute drone show. Empire worked closely with the event décor team to orchestrate a seamless performance for this special birthday celebration.
Empire is a leading producer of private concerts by celebrities, megastars, and icons.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience.
