Here at Glow Inflatables, we are proud to celebrate our fifth consecutive year working alongside the incredibly talented team at Vampire Studio for one of Europe’s largest and most prestigious music festivals – Primavera Sound Barcelona 2026. Held at the Parc del Forum, festival-goers are treated to a host of world-renowned and diverse music acts spread across multiple stages.
For this year’s Aperol-sponsored stage, known as the Aperol Island of Joy, Glow Inflatables designed and supplied four bespoke gradient-printed inflatable spheres, creating a striking visual centrepiece that transformed the stage from day to night.
During daylight hours, the custom gradient print complemented Aperol’s vibrant orange branding, adding depth, colour and scale to the stage design. As the sun set over Barcelona, the spheres came to life from within, glowing beautifully and becoming an eye-catching feature visible across the festival site. The illuminated inflatables helped create the warm, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matched the music, the audience and the unmistakable Aperol aesthetic.
Projects like this showcase what’s possible when creative vision meets technical expertise. From precision colour matching and large-format gradient printing to seamless internal illumination, every detail was carefully considered to deliver a product that looked exceptional around the clock.
Working with Vampire Studio over the past five years has been a fantastic journey. Their innovative approach to experiential design continually pushes us to develop unique inflatable solutions that elevate live events and create unforgettable festival moments.
A huge thank you to everyone at Vampire Studio for another fantastic collaboration, and congratulations on another spectacular Aperol Stage at Primavera Sound 2026.
