Guilty Pleasure Festival at Amsterdam's Westerpark is pure colour, pure energy, pure camp. When they asked us to bring Spellbound, we knew the standard straight-line parade wouldn't cut it. This crowd deserves an arch.
Spellbound meets High Lines
We combined two acts for the first time: Spellbound — our giant LED balloon letters — and High Lines — illuminated balloon garlands that sweep high above the crowd. The letters spelled GUILTY in a rainbow gradient, mounted on a curved aluminium frame that arched over the main stage. The High Lines garlands cascaded from the same structure, creating a canopy of light.
The result
The combination worked beyond expectations. The rainbow arch became the landmark of the festival — visible from across the park, drawing people toward the main stage. The photo you see here captures the moment the lights came on at sunset: GUILTY glowing in full colour, High Lines sweeping overhead, and a crowd of thousands underneath looking up.
