- Utilita Arena Cardiff Special effects for the headline show.
Subcontracted through Creative Production Solutions

Stage pyro, confetti, CO2, flames and atmospherics — designed around your show, timed to the beat and fired safely by our crew.
We'll recommend the right effects for your venue, audience and budget — indoors or out.
Gerbs, comets, mines and airbursts for walk-ons, drops and finales.
Cannons and blowers for first dances, countdowns and big reveals.
CO2 jets for the drop, and low-lying fog for that "dancing on the clouds" moment.
Controlled flame projectors for outdoor stages and festival headliners.
The finishing touch that makes every lighting beam visible.
Effects fired in sync with music, lighting and video, cue by cue.
Our crew have set up and fired pyrotechnics and special effects for some of the UK's biggest rock shows. All of the credits below were delivered by Black FX as a subcontractor to Creative Production Solutions.

Our own cover, on every job.
Pyrotechnics only look effortless when the planning behind them is thorough.
Every effect is planned around your venue, with the paperwork your venue, insurer and local authority will ask for.
We look at the space, ceiling heights, audience positions and what you want people to feel.
A site-specific risk assessment and method statement for every effect, shared with the venue in advance.
We talk to the venue, fire officers and event safety teams so everyone's signed off before show day.
Effects are set, tested and fired by Black FX crew, with safe zones and clear cues.
