Da Nang Beach Music Festival
Two nights of music on My Khe Beach — a sea-facing stage, more than 15,000 spectators each night, and a Flyboard-and-flare finale over the water.
The organisers wanted a music festival on two consecutive nights, staged on My Khe Beach itself, for more than 15,000 spectators a night. The hardest requirement: the stage had to face straight out to sea to catch the sunset, while the audience area at the water's edge stayed safe at all times.
- Service group: Full-service events
- Location: My Khe Beach, Da Nang
Concept & storyline
“When the sea is the stage”
Instead of treating the water as a backdrop, the narrative made it the lead character. The music opened with the sunset, peaked once darkness fell as the Flyboard riders lifted off the water in time with the set, and closed with flares reflecting across the waves — the audience standing between two stages, one on land, one on the sea.
Running order on the night
- 17:30
Doors open — DJ warm-up, spectators enter the beach area through four separate lanes
- 18:20
Sunset opening — acoustic set on the sea-facing stage
- 19:10
Main artist block — three back-to-back sets, the two LED wings running their own visuals
- 20:45
Peak — Flyboard riders perform to the music directly in front of the stage
- 21:00
Finale — Flyboard and flares over the water, every light turned out to sea
Staging & scope of work
- Licences for the performance area and coordination with the coastal safety services
- Design, 3D visualisation and build of the sea-facing stage
- Line-array sound, stage lighting and two supporting LED screens
- Coordinating artists, Flyboard riders and the operating crew across both show nights
- Safety rehearsal three days out with the local water rescue crew, plus a weather contingency plan
Results
- Both show nights ran to script, with no technical interruptions
- The Flyboard-and-flare sequence became the most shared image of the festival on social media
- Full set of photo and video media assets handed over after the festival
