The work

Book the artist. Build the stage he stands on.

Microsoft wanted a live moment inside a private dinner at Cannes Lions — the kind of thing that only lands if the artist is right and the production is invisible.

Legacy sourced and booked Miguel, contracted him directly, and handled the payment. Then Legacy produced the performance itself: sound, AV, staging, the engineer, the backline, the green room and the rider, and production management on the ground through the night.

No markup, no agency fee on top. Legacy was hired to deliver an artist and a performance, and delivered both.

Yusuf Mehdi and Mel Robbins, Hall Of Famers and Miguel.

In the second, Yusuf Mehdi was joined by Mel Robbins, and Legacy brought in Chris Paul, Alex Rodriguez, Lindsey Vonn, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

The dinner became a creator dinner with Miguel performing in a garden above the Côte d’Azur.

Legacy sourced and booked Miguel, contracted him directly, and handled the payment. Then Legacy produced the performance itself: sound, AV, staging, the engineer, the backline, the green room and the rider, and production management on the ground through the night.
