Behind the lights: how Xylobands powered Eurovision’s opening moment

In 2023, the Eurovision Song Contest lit up Liverpool — and we were proud to help power that experience.

At Xylobands, we believe in creating moments that connect audiences, and Eurovision gave us the perfect global stage. With a reach of over 162 million viewers, this wasn’t just another event — it was an opportunity to demonstrate how immersive technology can elevate live entertainment on a massive scale.

For the iconic opening flag parade, our XyloClassic Wristbands were programmed to match each nation’s colors as they appeared on stage. The result? A visually unified celebration of diversity, where every delegation was amplified through light and movement.

But it didn’t stop there.

Throughout the show, our wristbands became part of the performance itself — synchronised with the music, enhancing key moments, and transforming the audience into an extension of the stage. Instead of simply watching, fans became active participants in the spectacle.

This is what we do at Xylobands:
We turn audiences into experiences.

Eurovision 2023 showcased how technology, creativity, and live performance can come together to create something truly unforgettable. And we’re just getting started.
