At Sziget Festival we powered iconic stages and lit up the sky with our drone show – turning Be Yourself. Be Free. into a magical moment for thousand

Once again, Sziget was the festival of lights, sounds, and breathtaking visuals – and we were right there behind the scenes, where it all came to life.

The Visual Europe Group team was responsible for the visuals and sound technology at several iconic stages: Revolut Stage, BOLT Night Stage, Yettel Colosseum – each with its own challenges, but with the same foundation: lights, LED walls, and sound, all coming together to create a truly colorful experience.

Beyond the stages of Sziget, the sky itself became our canvas – with our drone fleet carrying the festival’s message: Be Yourself. Be Free. A thought shaped from lights above the audience’s heads – a magical moment for them, and for us, the result of preparation and millimeter-precise work. Behind the spectacle once again stood meticulous technical planning, choreography, and control – all to ensure that thousands of festival-goers could experience the moment together. In addition to the Sziget spectacle, this year a special Visa-themed show lit up the sky as well.

These moments truly show that working at such a monumental, world-famous festival is not just a challenge, but an incredible experience as well.
