P!NK - Final Australian Concerts

Australia recently adopted the artist P!NK as one of our own. She did a massive (and record breaking) 58 shows in Australia in the one stint. To celebrate this, the promoter, Michael Koppell, contacted MAD Balloons to do some large balloon drops for her two last shows in Sydney. 1500 balloons and 5 large crowd balloon balls.

My staff were very excited about this as they are all P!NK fans. Katherine is a big fan.
(I'm a fan of the lovely pink cupcakes that were provided for the show......)
We had to set the drop up at the foyer just near the main arena.
Each net was 9 mtrs long and had 750 balloons in it


.....and there were 5 veeeeery large balloon balls that we also dropped on the crowd for them to play with.


You can see that by the sheer size of the balls and balloon nets that we could not get them up in the lift. So we had to drop ropes from the catwalk (33mtrs above the floor) and get them up that way.







Anyway........
The view of P!NK's concert from the catwalk was pretty fantastic.




.....as P!NK was about to do her bungy jump, we let the balloons go, so they would co-incide with the end of her bungy jump!





























So how did it look?????? You be the judge.

The client was very happy, the crowd went absolutely crazy and had heaps of fun bopping the balloon balls around.

So, if you need a BIG special effect, just call the MAD team below............
(payment in cupcakes is accepted!!)
