About STAR ISLAND

STAR ISLAND is a futuristic fireworks entertainment originating in Japan that has been showcased across the globe since 2017. This innovative event, organised by Avex, aims to revitalise the age-old tradition of fireworks, which holds great significance in Japanese culture, by transforming it into a dynamic and engaging form of entertainment for future generations. Avex recognised the challenges posed by the scarcity of successors and financial constraints to the continued existence of fireworks displays. Hence, STAR ISLAND was conceived as a pioneering effort to create an entirely new form of fireworks entertainment that not only nurtures emerging talent, but also promotes sustainable content by addressing pressing social issues pertaining to the preservation of pyrotechnic skills.
