Grand Rapids has always been capable of attracting huge names. Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Paul McCartney, and Elton John have all performed at the Van Andel Arena, but this year, we're having a different kind of act come to an event not known for featuring big acts: ArtPrize.

ArtPrize's Halftime Show

ArtPrize is in its biggest year of changes since the City of Grand Rapids took over ArtPrize. Last year acted as a trial year for the city, and this year they are ready to introduce some major changes. How big? How about a massive Half Time Show marking the mid-way point of ArtPrize, featuring The Pack Drumline.

ArtPrize will run from September 13th to September 26th and The Halftime Show will highlight where artists stand in the polls and will remind voters to vote.

The Pack Drumline

If you haven't seen The Pack Drumline you are in for a treat. The group was a semifinalist on America's Got Talent Season 17 in 2022 and has since taken the world by storm, performing around the country at major events like Super Bowl LVIII and the Democratic National Convention. 

If you want to see The Drum Pack, you can find them at Studio Park on September 20th from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM. There will be an afterparty at the ArtPrize Clubhouse. It should prove to be a good time for everyone.
