Excision Streamed Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show at Thunderdome 2026 — Because Bassheads Deserve Both

If you thought attending Excision's Thunderdome 2026 meant missing Bad Bunny's historic Super Bowl LX halftime show, think again. On Sunday, February 8th, as fans filed into the Tacoma Dome for the final night of Thunderdome, they were greeted by something nobody expected — Bad Bunny's halftime performance streaming live across the venue's massive LED screens, complete with pyro and full stage lighting.

That's right. Excision gave his crowd the best of both worlds.

The Moment Nobody Saw Coming

Thunderdome 2026 ran February 6–8 at the Tacoma Dome in Washington — the same weekend as Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. While millions tuned in from their couches to watch Bad Bunny make history as the first artist to headline the halftime show performing primarily in Spanish, thousands of bassheads were gearing up for the heaviest night of the weekend.

During the pre-show, as attendees made their way through the doors and found their spots on the floor, Excision's production team fired up the halftime broadcast on the Thunderdome screens. The stage lighting and pyro rigs were already active, creating a surreal hybrid moment — Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican pride anthems blasting through one of the most legendary bass music venues in the country, backed by Thunderdome's own flames and lights.

Bad Bunny's Halftime Show Was One for the History Books

For anyone who missed it, Bad Bunny delivered a roughly 13-minute performance packed with cultural significance. He opened in a white suit walking through an elaborate faux street fair before crashing through a building set piece in a jaw-dropping stunt. The stage design featured "la casita," a traditional Puerto Rican village house, turning the Super Bowl stage into a celebration of his roots.

His setlist included massive tracks like "Tití Me Preguntó," "Yo Perreo Sola," "Safaera," and "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS." Lady Gaga joined him for "Die with a Smile," while Ricky Martin made a surprise appearance that sent the internet into a frenzy. The performance closed with a powerful message: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

Heavy words for a heavy weekend.

Thunderdome 2026 Brought the Bass All Weekend

Excision's three-night takeover of the Tacoma Dome featured a stacked lineup of bass music's finest. The bill included Sullivan King, Ganja White Night, ATLiens, Jessica Audiffred, Dion Timmer, Trivecta, Smoakland, Tisoki, Codd Dubz, and Cyclops, among others. Excision himself performed every single night, capping off the weekend with a special b2b set alongside Kai Wachi.

The Thunderdome is known for pushing production to its absolute limits — massive LED walls, world-class laser arrays, bone-rattling sound systems, and pyrotechnics that make your chest vibrate before the bass even hits. Streaming the halftime show through that rig before the final night's sets kicked off was a flex that only Excision could pull off so seamlessly.

Why This Moment Matters

Raves and mainstream sporting events don't usually cross paths. The Super Bowl halftime show is the biggest televised musical performance of the year, reaching over 100 million viewers. Thunderdome, meanwhile, is a temple for the bass music underground — thousands of headbangers packed into a dome built for pure sonic destruction.

By streaming the halftime show during doors, Excision acknowledged that his fans live in both worlds. You can love Bad Bunny's genre-defying reggaeton bangers and lose your mind to filthy dubstep drops an hour later. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and that pre-show moment proved it.

It was a small gesture that said a lot about the community. Bassheads showed up, watched Bad Bunny light up the Super Bowl together, then proceeded to have their faces melted by some of the hardest electronic music on the planet. One unforgettable night, two completely different musical experiences, zero compromise.

Final Thoughts

Excision streaming Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show at Thunderdome 2026 is the kind of moment that makes the rave community special. It wasn't planned as some massive crossover event — it was just a crew that understood their audience wanted to experience both, so they made it happen with pyro, lights, and a room full of headbangers who weren't about to miss a thing.

If you were there, you already know. If you weren't, the videos circulating on Instagram tell the story perfectly.

Thunderdome delivered again. It always does.
