NPU Live Concert Events at Pier 80, San Francisco
NPU Live is thrilled to welcome you to a first-of-its-kind concert experience this week in San Francisco. NPU Live is the creative force behind transformative concerts, large-scale productions and multi-venue festivals in distinctive spaces. Bay-area based NPU Live intends to be part of the lineup of entertainment options during Big Game weeks in future host cities.
Please note that, unlike many other game-related events this week, all of our shows are publicly ticketed concerts (the “People’s Pregame”), designed to give everyone access to the fun and excitement of the week’s festivities. We will accommodate our VIP guests in several limited-access spaces throughout the Pier 80 venue, which accommodates 20,000 people. There is no single, dedicated private party for our NFL guests, but we have established the following protocols for your convenience and comfort.
