In festival production, creating moments that cut through the noise matters. The heat of a flame, the shock of pyrotechnics, the anticipation of fog. Water is becoming just as essential. That is why SHOCK-WAVE, our high-powered water cannon, is not just an effect, it’s the peak of a show for those live environments. It turns sets into immersive experiences, giving audiences something they do not just watch, but genuinely engage with.
Immersive Moments
Water is not just something you see, it is something you feel – quite literally! With a 30 metre blast, SHOCK-WAVE reaches deep into the crowd, creating a shared moment between stage and audience. As the jet travels, it breaks into a fine mist that drifts over the crowd below, delivering a refreshing hit that festival audiences instantly respond to. Particularly in outdoor summer conditions, this turns the effect into something that feels both exciting and genuinely welcome.
Scale and Visibility
SHOCK-WAVE is built for large spaces. Its height and reach ensure the effect reads clearly across an entire festival field, from the front barrier right through to the back of the crowd. The arc cuts through daylight just as effectively as night-time lighting, making it a reliable visual at any point in the show. Whether it is used for a drop, a chorus or a finale, it lands with impact. It is bold, visible and highly photogenic, which is exactly what modern festival production demands.
Creative Flexibility
SHOCK-WAVE is the perfect effect for key moments in a set. From musical drops to choruses and show finales, it adds a clear visual and physical cue that audiences respond to instantly. While a single unit delivers strong impact, deploying multiple SHOCK-WAVEs creates a powerful, coordinated movement. With the water cannons ability to adjust the firing angle, the effect can be higher or lower. Big or small, it adapts to the stage, the audience and the music, making it a versatile tool for live entertainment.
Easy to Deploy
Practicality matters just as much as performance. SHOCK-WAVE has been developed with operation at the forefront of the design, with built-in handles and castors that make positioning and movement straightforward. It is quick to set up, simple to operate and easy to maintain under typical festival conditions. The consumable is water, keeping things cost-effective and easy to manage on site. For busy crews working to tight schedules, it is a reliable addition that delivers consistently without adding complexity.
