The skies above Milton Keynes are set to ignite this autumn as the iconic National Bowl plays host to FireworX — the UK’s largest 360° fireworks spectacular — on Saturday 1 November 2025.
This landmark event will transform the legendary venue into an immersive festival of light, sound and entertainment, promising one of the biggest and most breathtaking displays the country has ever seen.
Produced by FireworX, one of the UK’s most innovative large-scale event teams, the show will feature a fully immersive 360° pyrotechnic performance, complemented by dazzling laser and drone choreography. Guests can expect a night of awe-inspiring visuals, world-class production, and a festival atmosphere for all ages.
A key highlight will be a specially commissioned musical score paying tribute to the National Bowl’s extraordinary legacy. Since the 1980s, this open-air amphitheatre has hosted some of the biggest names in global music – from David Bowie and Michael Jackson to Robbie Williams, Eminem, Foo Fighters and Green Day. FireworX will celebrate that history through an unforgettable soundtrack that blends iconic moments from past concerts with a bold, futuristic edge.
Beyond the fireworks, the site will come alive with entertainment and attractions across the evening. Visitors can look forward to:
A 360° fireworks pyrosphere with a dramatic finale
Drone and laser choreography on a grand scale
The Big Top Arena, featuring live bands and performers
A Halloween-themed funfair packed with rides and thrills from Keith Emmett & Sons – a name synonymous with Milton Keynes’ favourite fireworks nights
A mouth-watering selection of street food and bars, serving everything from smash burgers to churros
The return of fairground classics once loved at Campbell Park
With its mix of nostalgia, cutting-edge technology and high-energy entertainment, FireworX promises to be an unmissable experience that celebrates both the past and future of Milton Keynes’ most iconic venue.
Early access tickets will go on sale at 7:00am on Thursday 2 October 2025, with a limited allocation offering 20% off for those who sign up in advance.
