Sound & Lighting for Firework Displays
Bringing the Atmosphere to Life – With Sound, Light, and Vision
At GSL Events, we understand that a fireworks display is more than just a sky full of colour. The build-up, atmosphere, and overall event experience are just as important. That’s why we provide fully integrated sound, lighting, video, and power solutions tailored to outdoor firework events of all sizes. From village greens to city parks, we have the kit, the knowledge, and the experience to make your event stand out – safely and professionally.
Clear Outdoor Sound
We supply high-performance PA systems specifically designed for open-air environments. Whether you’re expecting 500 or 15,000 people, we can provide audio coverage that ensures every word and note reaches your entire audience.
-
Pre-show music: Create atmosphere before the display begins, with background playlists, curated soundtracks or even live DJ sets. We can work with you to match the vibe of your event, whether it’s relaxed, festive, or high-energy.
-
Live entertainment: If your event includes live bands, singers, or hosts, we provide the technical infrastructure to support them – from microphones and mixing desks to monitor systems and onsite engineers.
-
Countdown announcements: Our systems deliver clear, intelligible announcements across your event space – ideal for building excitement, running countdowns, and ensuring everyone knows what’s happening and when.
-
Safety and evacuation messaging: In the event of an emergency, our sound systems are set up to deliver clear messaging across your entire site, helping to keep your event safe and compliant with local authority guidelines.

Lighting That Makes an Impact
A firework show might be the main event – but clever lighting design can elevate the entire experience and bring your event site to life.
-
Uplighting: We use powerful outdoor uplighters to illuminate key features around your event, such as trees, buildings, monuments or signage. This adds atmosphere and visual depth before and during the fireworks.
-
Sky-tracking beam lights: Nothing adds drama quite like beams of light shooting into the sky. These high-output lights can be programmed to move in time with music or sweep the skyline to build anticipation ahead of the main display.
-
Stage and site lighting: Whether you have a main stage, food stalls or a central gathering space, we’ll ensure everything is safely and attractively lit. Our lighting setups enhance the visual appeal of your site while supporting visibility and safety for your audience.
-
DMX-controlled effects: For more creative shows, we offer fully programmable lighting effects that can be synced with music, countdowns or pyrotechnics. It’s a great way to tie your lighting and fireworks together into one seamless spectacle.

Visual Displays and Live Feeds
Bring a new dimension to your fireworks display with a large-format outdoor video wall – ideal for adding content, branding or live camera feeds to your event.
-
Displaying countdowns and show content: Build excitement with a real-time countdown or schedule updates before the display. You can also show themed graphics or curated video content to engage your audience.
-
Livestreaming the event or fireworks: For larger crowds or events with multiple zones, a video wall helps everyone feel part of the moment by showing live footage of performances or the fireworks themselves.
-
Showing sponsors or safety messages: Use the screen to acknowledge sponsors, promote future events or display important event information such as emergency exits or accessibility routes.
-
Interactive content for attendees: If you're running competitions, hashtags or audience interaction campaigns, our LED screen is the perfect platform for showing social media content and engaging visuals.

-

-
Reliable and discreet equipment: Our power systems are designed to be robust, quiet and safe, ensuring they don’t interfere with your audience’s experience.
