Get ready to step into a glowing realm of entertainment ideas as we take you on an electrifying journey through the worlds of LED, UV and glow shows!
LED shows, in particular, have taken the entertainment scene by storm – and it’s no wonder why. These light-filled acts blend cutting-edge technology with design, creating captivating visual spectacles audiences of all ages enjoy.
We think LED and UV entertainment are some of the best ways to create a wow-worthy spectacle, which is why we’re excited to show you some of the ways they can level up your occasion. With some helpful tips and plenty of event examples to share, we hope you feel as excited about this new wave of entertainment as we do.
If you thought LEDs were just those tiny bulbs you decorate your home with at Christmas, think again!
Instead, picture this: the lights dim or day fades to night, crowds murmur in excitement, and a wave of anticipation fills the air. Suddenly, the darkness comes alive with a burst of radiant colours, illuminating the scene and capturing everyone’s imagination. Welcome to the magic of LED entertainment!
LED acts feature high-tech programmable costumes and props that are adorned with LED lights to make them shine brightly and radiate colour in all types of lighting conditions. Thanks to their cutting-edge technology, the LEDs can also be programmed to display graphics, company logos, brand colours and messages, meaning they can really be tailored to suit any event’s specific needs.
We loved working with Swadlincote’s Christmas Lights Switch-On event in 2022, where we provided our light-up Living Snowglobe and customisable Aura Glow Show jugglers. The latter incorporated Christmas imagery and graphics displaying the town’s name to create a bespoke show, bringing everyone together to celebrate an event the town could be proud of!
We also booked our exhilarating meet-and-greet Twilight Circus performers for a corporate event in November 2022. This memorable act displayed the eighteen visiting businesses’ logos within their performance for an eye-catching personalised performance.
As you can see, LED shows create impactful visuals and plenty of excitement, meaning they’re not only great for drawing in crowds and creating a buzz around your event, but can also be used as a powerful promotional tool. With an audience fully engaged and invested in the performance, brand awareness campaigns and product launches can really stand out from the crowd through personalised LED acts.
LED entertainment and glow show performances are perfect for events looking to make a huge visual impact! Due to the technology of their light-up props and costumes, nighttime events and dark event spaces will allow them to make the biggest impression, showing off the LEDs’ spectrum of colours and letting them truly shine.
That said, because LED lights are so powerful, they can even make an eye-catching impression in light conditions as our Living Snow Globe did inside a shopping centre.
We love seeing the excitement and wonder of our family-friendly entertainment acts reflected in audiences of all ages. But nothing beats the magic of witnessing little ones enchanted by the glow of performances that will leave a lasting memory!
Hugely versatile and available as dance acts, music acts, circus acts and themed entertainment, LED allows even the simplest spaces to be transformed into a wonderland of light and imagination.
One of our most spectacular and versatile LED acts is our incredible LED Drummers – a world-class team of performers who blend high-impact drumming, stunning LED lighting design and dynamic choreography, resulting in a striking light-up act that never fails to deliver the ultimate wow factor. Regularly rebooked by our clients, our wonderful walkabout LED Drummers can even customise their show to incorporate brand colours – talk about drumming up excitement at your event!
“The LED Drummers are just incredible, everyone raves about them and they are really great to work with.”
– Westfield Stratford
This sensational act has been the highlight of countless high-profile events and large-scale celebrations, including Christmas decorations launches annually at Westfield Stratford and other Christmas shopping entertainment events at Westfield London. They love rebooking our LED Drummers due to their immense visual impact and tend to book them for sets throughout the afternoon with a finale set once it’s dark. Whether daytime or nighttime, these drummers bring excitement to the max!
Our thrilling LED Drummers also made a huge impact at Christmas on the Cobbles in Aylesbury in 2022. We loved getting this glowing feedback from the organisers:
“The LED Drummers were simply spectacular! Their performances were outstanding and the interaction with the audience was brilliant…They played a very special part in making the event the success it was and we’re very grateful.”
Our dynamic LED dancers have been a highlight at many events, always wowing with their grace, elegance and eye-catching costumes.
We were thrilled to provide our gorgeous LED Ballerinas for Boots in conjunction with Belfast Council’s Christmas events in 2021. Due to the ongoing pandemic at the time, we set about trying to come up with ideas on how to create a memorable show within the limitations of COVID and the need for social distancing. The result? A fabulous living shop window display with our beautiful LED ballerinas front and centre.
Even without restrictions, however, a living shop display window is always a visual treat and a fabulous way to engage audiences using LED.
Walkabout LED entertainment isn’t just a feast for the eyes; it’s an immersive and interactive experience that involves your guests and ups the ante on excitement. LED performers are perfect for engaging crowds and drawing them into a world where they become part of the LED act’s living canvas of light and movement.
Our walkabout and meet-and-greet Lantern Ladies on stilts put on a sparkling performance for two prestigious events recently – Harrogate Visit Britain Annual Awards Event and the Portsmouth Pfizer anniversary event – creating a magical ambience for the attendees.
We’re also very excited to be providing stellar walkabout LED entertainment for a host of exciting upcoming events, including Chorley Council’s Halloween 2023 occasion which has requested our dazzling new Lumens act – an amazing LED quad stilt duo perfect for adding a spooky, futuristic atmosphere.
We can’t think of a better way to capture the fun of an occasion than with a photo booth. But how about putting a colourful twist on this popular event staple?
We recently included our LED inflatable booth for a sci-fi and space-themed event – a perfect match to give the venue a futuristic vibe. But thanks to the photo booth’s customisable colour schemes, it’s adaptable for all sorts of themed events. Or simply as a way to liven up a party with some technicolour magic!
While both LED and UV shows create striking visuals that work best in darkened conditions, complete darkness is more important for UV and neon shows in order for them to fully glow in the dark. This is because UV shows involve neon costumes and props that rely on backlight or UV light shining on them. Otherwise, they won’t glow as they should.
While LED acts use technology to programme them, UV shows are not controllable in the same way. That’s not to say they’re limited in their colourful scope or messaging, however! On the contrary, UV shows can come in a wide range of colours and styles, and the performers can incorporate neon paint to recreate bespoke images, company logos, characters and famous landmarks within the show.
From UV face and body painters to UV Skeletons for Halloween events, UV Wildlife shows to make occasions a roaring success and many more, our UV entertainment always lights up a crowd.
Why not double the fun and combine LED and UV entertainment in one? Choosing multiple glow acts for your event is a surefire way to create a significant buzz and put on an event people will be talking about for months – or years – to come.
Some performers offer both LED and UV within their act, which means you’ve got the potential for both styles of entertainment ready to go just by hiring a single artist.
One such act is Angie, our sensational hula hooper. Her versatile performances incorporate silver, LED, UV and fire hoops, creating a spellbinding show that’s loved by audiences of all ages.
We were thrilled to hear how much a young audience enjoyed Angie’s performance at an LED event in Chichester in February 2023:
“Angie […] was a star. The little ones were so excited and one little girl kept saying ‘She is so good, it’s the best thing I have ever seen.’ Just gorgeous! Very happy indeed and the event as a whole was a great success.”
As exciting as we think LED entertainment is, it’s not just the potential for successful events that keeps us motivated to light up your occasions. It’s the connections we make along the way: the gasps of awe, the laughter and the collective wonder we share with our clients and their guests as new memories are made.
So as we continue to craft unforgettable moments, we invite you to join us on this dazzling journey. At Joogleberry, the stage is set, the lights are ready to dance, and the magic awaits. Get in touch today – let’s light up the world together, one event at a time!
