Commonwealth Games XVII, Manchester


Selected by Jack Morton Worldwide for our unrivalled stadium experience and the strength of our creative ideas, we provided pyrotechnics, special effects and massive fireworks finales for both the opening and closing ceremonies in Manchester.

Using the very latest digital firing technology and the most advanced stadium effects in the world, we were able to deliver close-proximity performances of breathtaking complexity and power. These included firing a pyrotechnic 'rainbow' from the stadium roof - one of the biggest and most spectacular stadium roof displays ever fired.


Shell Shock has helped move stadium pyrotechnics to a new level, bringing the excitement and power of fireworks closer than ever to the audience.
