Bristol Light Festival favourite Swing Song is back, with a whole new set of swings! The swings use tracks that were produced especially for the festival, with each swing controlling a different musical element. Users have a choice of percussion, bassline and melody, and each movement contributes to the symphony alongside a dynamic light show.

Swing Song is based on a concept by Bristol Light Festival and made by Tired Industries – a Bristol-based Creative Design and Fabrication Studio, run by Jon Panniers and Luke Harcourt. With a combined 30-year career in theatre, festivals and events, they have led design teams for Secret Cinema, You Me Bum Bum Train, Vault Festival, Standon Calling, Glastonbury, Outlook and Dimensions.
