Performing to a sold out crowd as the first female headliner to take the stage at the Fiserv Forum in its short history as the hub of entertainment in Wisconsin, P!nk captivated her Milwaukee audience for a highly charged evening in support of the World Tour for her seventh studio album “Beautiful Trauma”. The pop star wasted no time reaching for the sky as she swung from a momentous hotel chandelier, zipped around the arena in a tethered harness and performed aerial silk acrobatics in flawless fashion. Whether hanging from the rafters or executing complex choreography sequences with her sultry dancers, P!nk commanded the utmost attention with her every move.
Notwithstanding her stupendous showmanship and grand stage scenery and light show, P!nk had the audience singing and dancing to every note as she kicked off the show with supermegahit “Get the Party Started” and followed through with a barrage of other pop masterpieces to include “Who Knew”, “Just Give Me a Reason” and No Doubt cover “Just a Girl” before capping off the night defying gravity and levitating around the arena to “So What” and concluding the evening with “Glitter in the Air”.
If the truth be told, P!nk has never been afraid to bare her soul or express her deepest feelings in her music while infusing it with her own, unique sense of humor. Whether sharing honest moments in songs like “So What” which is directed at her breakup with her ex, Carey Hart, or switching gears in an effort to tell off bullies with “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)”, P!nk has always found a way to connect with her audience in all facets of life. She dominates radio with an ever-impressive songbook of smash singles and is equally impressive during her live performance. P!nk continues to dominate the pop rock music genre with a mix of sad, thoughtful love songs and fun, upbeat rock anthems and helps make everyone who walks through the arena doors in anticipation of a great show, feel alive and better for the experience.

The Fiserv Forum is a new multi-purpose arena in downtown Milwaukee. The Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center is much more than just the new home for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball. Designed to reflect the heritage, history and personality of Milwaukee while actively projecting progress, accessibility and a renewed sense of community, this state of the art, 714,000 square foot arena is the hub of entertainment in Wisconsin and the engine that drives growth in downtown Milwaukee.
Why Fiserv?
At Fiserv, we believe in putting our signature on our work, the mark of our commitment to excellence in everything we do. We’re proud to partner with the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks as we put our name on this visible symbol of partnership, connection and community. Proud to be first to amplify the role of financial services technology in this way, and to call more attention to the importance of technology in the advancement of financial and payment experiences.
Even more proud to shine a brighter light on the vital role our clients play in helping their customers move money and information with ease, speed and convenience. “We are excited for this unprecedented opportunity to elevate and further differentiate our brand in support of our purpose of delivering value and excellence to our clients every day.” Jeff Yabuki, Fiserv President and CEO

We can’t wait to see you there.
The Design
The period – or proof point – that follows ‘Fiserv’ in our wordmark has always embodied our full-hearted commitment to excellence in everything we do. In our visual identity for Fiserv Forum, that point evolves into a connection point. It represents where our brand promise – to be Partners in Possibility – meets our local community, where our legacy of leadership in financial services technology meets our future of bringing our aspiration and purpose to a newly broadened audience. This point connects Fiserv and our clients to all the vibrancy that Fiserv Forum will hold: games, shows, celebrations, family, friends, and fun. Using our brand typeface, our graphic system makes use of its numerous weights, allowing room for expression, play, and a vocal energy that is as diverse as the experiences Fiserv Forum has to offer.
What's in a Name?
The name ‘Fiserv Forum’ is a nod to our annual world-class client experience, where the best and brightest technology and business professionals gather each year to exchange ideas, learn, and experience financial technology. Like our annual client conference, which bears the same name, this new Fiserv brand touchpoint is designed to showcase diverse and unique experiences and perspectives.
