What is a musical firework display?

A musical or pyromusical (as its known in the trade) display isn’t just music playing along while the fireworks go off. It is a perfectly synched and coordinated display set to music that you choose. Using the undulations and beats in the music, our award winning designers will create a stunning firework display. Your pyromusical display will be truly bespoke and designed to your budget and music choice.

Key aspects of musical firework displays include:

• Designed by Champions: Flashpoint Fireworks have previously won the British Musical Firework Championships.
• Precise Choreography: Fireworks are fired with 1/100th of a second accuracy to match the music.
• Tailored Soundtrack: You choose your own music track/tracks. These can be mixed to create a bespoke, emotional, and rhythmic experience.
• Technology-Driven: Flashpoint use state-of-the-art firing systems to trigger the fireworks to the exact beat.
• Enhanced Complexity: These displays often use fireworks called single shots that create complex patterns in time to the music track.

Popular Musical Choices
What music should we choose? The choice is entirely yours. A pyromusical display can be designed to a single music track or more than one mixed together if you can’t decide. Whether this be a song that is special to you both or just your favourite music track, the choice is yours.

Flashpoint Fireworks have designed musical displays to a huge variety of music from Tchaikovskys 1812 overture, Disney classics to the latest chart songs. Some of our most popular tracks have got to be Take That’s ‘Greatest Day’, Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ or Coldplay ‘A sky full of Stars’. Also, we have listed below some other music ideas.

Latest Chart Toppers: Keeping up with the latest trend can provide some stunning displays.

• Sapphire (Ed Sheeran) – Very popular music track in 2025 and used in many musical displays.
• APT. (ROSÉ) – Rhythmic energy that works very well with musical displays.
• Pink Pony Club (Chappell Roan) – Great chorus that everyone sings along to with bright pink peony shells.

Anthemic Rock & Pop: These keep the energy high and your audience engaged.

• Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen) – Excellent for variety, moving from slow ballad to fast-paced rock.
• Firework (Katy Perry) – A modern classic that is practically mandatory for celebratory shows.
• Thunderstruck (AC/DC) – (See video below) Perfect for rapid-fire, high-energy sequences with sharp beats.

Epic Classical: These are the golden standard for fireworks because of their dramatic shifts in intensity in the music.

• 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky) – Famous for its literal cannon fire and massive finale.
• O Fortuna from Carmina Burana (Carl Orff) – Used for high-drama, intense sequences.
• Music for the Royal Fireworks (Handel) – The original pyrotechnic soundtrack commissioned in 1749.
