Each show had 100 balloons that could accommodate up to three people.

The concept came from the band's frontman Wayne Coyne. He explained his idea by saying that at the concert people would be “safer than when going to the store.”

An extra speaker was placed inside each balloon to improve the sound, as well as a bottle of water, a battery-powered fan, a towel and a sign that said “I need to go to the bathroom/it’s too hot in here.”

If it got too hot, the balloon was filled with cool air, and spectators who needed to go to the toilet were accompanied by employees of the establishment, as soon as they put on the mask and left their cocoon.

The organizers assure that each balloon contained enough oxygen for three people to breathe for over an hour. Although I had to wipe the condensation with a towel.
