Festivals & seasons

Festival entertainment

Festival crowds are big, spread out and moving. A performer flying above them under a glowing six-metre sphere becomes a landmark — something people find, film and share.

HALO has performed at MDLBeast and Jeddah Season in Saudi Arabia and at the Al Gharbia Watersports Festival in Abu Dhabi, by day and by night.

Why it works

Seen across the whole site

At up to twenty metres, the act is visible over stages, food courts and queues — not just to the people at the front.

Made for night programming

Colour-changing envelopes and LED costumes turn the balloon into a lantern synchronised to your lighting cues.

Roaming, not fixed

Ground crew walk the tethers, so the performer can drift over different parts of the crowd during the set.

Questions planners ask

What happens if it is windy?

The show runs only when sustained wind is below 10 knots and gusts are below 15 knots, with a final weather check before every performance.
