Rival Entertainment Presents

Delta Air Lines Centennial Celebration

In 2025, Rival Entertainment was selected by Delta Air Lines’ Global Events team to help deliver a centennial celebration worthy of one of the world’s most iconic brands. Supporting events throughout the airline’s historic 100th year, Rival played a key production role in two defining moments: the Delta Centennial Gala at the Delta Flight Museum and the Delta Centennial Bash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The award-winning Gala welcomed 1,200 guests for an evening culminating in the reveal of Delta’s centennial aircraft through large-scale projection mapping and an original score by Hans Zimmer, alongside a performance by Jon Batiste. Months later, Rival brought its festival-production expertise to the Centennial Bash, transforming Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a massive celebration attended by 35,000 Delta employees and their families, with performances by Thomas Rhett, Ludacris and Yacht Rock Revue.

Together, the events celebrated Delta’s extraordinary first century with the ambition, precision and sense of occasion the milestone demanded, and stand among the most significant corporate productions in Rival’s history.
