Rather than firing as a standalone post-show display, this sequence was built to run inside the final two songs of the headliner’s set — cued in real time off the front-of-house lighting board so the pyro landed exactly on the same hits as the stage lighting rig. That required a firing line set back far enough from the stage to meet minimum distance for the show’s largest shells (8-inch) without reading as visually separated from the stage in photos and video.
Low-smoke gerb and comet effects framed the stage edges through the verses, with aerial shells reserved for the choruses and the closing 90-second barrage. The amphitheater’s air-quality permit required reduced-smoke compositions throughout, which shaped the shell selection as much as the choreography did.
