Skylighter Fireworks proudly returned to the northern hemisphere competition circuit with our hallmark show Great Southern Lands at the prestigious Internationaal Vuurwerkfestival Knokke-Heist in Belgium. This international competition brought together leading outdoor fireworks producers from across the globe, and we were honoured to showcase the creativity and artistry of Australian pyrotechnics on the world stage.

Designed by Harrison Smith, the display opened with Mitch Tambo’s stirring performance of Great Southern Land, where long silver comet tails and shimmering white strobe shells evoked the ancient presence of the land. INXS’s Never Tear Us Apart followed with delicate blue and silver willow shells, slowly fading to symbolise unity and connection.
Emotional depth was explored through Amy Shark’s Mess Her Up and Cyrill feat. Dean Lewis’s Fall at Your Feet, mirrored by soft peony bursts and crackling pistils that reflected human vulnerability and story.
The Cat Empire’s Thunder Rumbles shifted the rhythm with rolling thunder shells and ghost rings that echoed coastal storms, before King Stingray’s Under One Sun filled the sky with layered multi-level rings and vibrant transitions – a celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity under a shared sky.
The finale, set to Sia’s Unstoppable, cascaded in brilliant green willows melting into gold chrysanthemums, embodying Australia’s strength, unity, and unstoppable spirit.
On the ground, Lead Pyrotechnicians Dominick Vermaak and Liam Harvey proudly represented #TeamSkylighter and Australia across the globe, delivering this hallmark outdoor fireworks performance with precision and artistry.
Skylighter’s Great Southern Lands was more than an outdoor fireworks display – it was a tribute to Australian identity, artistry, and connection, shared proudly on an international stage.
