Burj Khalifa unveils colourful new light show
We can’t wait to check this one out…
First it provided a canvas for the record-breaking New Year’s Eve light show. Then it lit up for Adele, and The Avengers.
Now, the Burj Khalifa has revealed its latest extravaganza – a dazzling LED show by Hungarian 3D dance troupe Freelusion, who are known for their creative use of video mapping technology.
If you’re a fan of the show Britain’s Got Talent, that name might sound familiar. Freelusion actually made it to the semi-finals of the talent show in 2013. As judge Simon Cowell described their act: “It is like looking 10 years into the future”.

You’ll be able to catch Freelusion’s show every night after sunset until May 31. Here’s a taste – though we imagine to get the full effect, you’ll definitely want to see it in person:
