When tens of thousands of fans enter a stadium, the show they see depends on an enormous amount of infrastructure working behind the scenes.

Throughout the 2026 summer concert season, Forty Two supported Live Nation with temporary AC power and production infrastructure for major stadium productions across Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Our work supported productions featuring some of the largest touring artists in the world, including Foo Fighters, AC/DC, Post Malone and Jelly Roll, Chris Brown and USHER, and Bruno Mars.

The venues included:

• Huntington Bank Field — Cleveland, Ohio
• Ohio Stadium — Columbus, Ohio
• Acrisure Stadium — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

 

Different tours. Different stadiums. Different production requirements.

One expectation: the infrastructure has to work.

Powering the Production Behind the Show

A stadium concert is essentially a temporary city built inside an existing facility.

Touring production, backstage operations, technical compounds, catering, support spaces, offices, vendors and other temporary systems all need power and infrastructure—often in locations where permanent venue services were never designed to support them.

Forty Two helps solve that problem.

Our Crew provides temporary AC power distribution and production infrastructure designed for large-scale live event environments.

That can include temporary electrical distribution, feeder and cabling, power distribution equipment, cable protection and the supporting infrastructure required to safely move power throughout an active event site.

The goal is simple:

Get power where it needs to go. Keep it reliable. Keep the production moving.

Stadium Scale Requires a Different Approach

Large touring productions are unforgiving environments.

Equipment arrives quickly. Requirements change. Multiple contractors and departments work simultaneously. Truck traffic, pedestrian routes, weather, venue operations and production schedules all have to be considered.

Temporary power cannot simply be added at the end.

It has to be treated as part of the production system.

Forty Two approaches each site around the actual requirements of the event—capacity, distribution, routing, redundancy, accessibility and the realities of load-in through load-out.

Discover. Design. Develop. Do.

From Cleveland to Columbus to Pittsburgh

At Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Forty Two supported stadium productions including Post Malone with Jelly Roll, Chris Brown with USHER, and Foo Fighters.

At Ohio Stadium in Columbus, our infrastructure capabilities supported AC/DC’s POWER UP Tour as it moved through one of the largest stadium environments in the region.

And at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Forty Two supported the stadium production surrounding Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour.

These projects represent exactly where Forty Two’s Production and Infrastructure capabilities intersect.

We’re not simply delivering equipment.

We’re helping build the temporary systems that allow large productions to operate.

Production Infrastructure You Don’t Have to Think About

Most fans will never see the power distribution behind a stadium concert.

They shouldn’t.

They see the stage. The lighting. The video. The performance.

Behind those systems is an entire layer of infrastructure that has to be engineered, deployed and supported correctly.

For promoters, producers, venues and touring professionals, that infrastructure needs to be dependable enough to disappear into the operation.

That’s the standard we work toward.

We Do More.

Forty Two provides event production, temporary AC power and onsite production infrastructure for concerts, festivals, stadiums, special events and other mission-critical temporary environments.
