We were in Hong Kong on NYE 12/31/2018 and there were fireworks but nothing remotely like this! The crowd all along the harbor front was 50 people deep.
I kind of disappointed that all the bands I like it of that area don't tour very much anymore. Last time I saw a Boston was 1986 on their Christmas in Canada tour still have the t-shirt.
Is this real? I've seen video of the circle of drones dropping fireworks before, and of drones creating a dragon, but not both together. Seems like dropping the fireworks down on top of the drones making the dragon would be a bad idea. Unless someone has a source, I'm calling BS on this one.
Considering how the circle and fireworks both vanish together just a moment before this video ends, it's almost definitely 2 videos overlaid onto each other. I haven't seen the separate originals, and I'm still about 97% certain.
The fireworks and dragon also both stick center frame in the same area of the video despite the video swaying and moving (I think this was taken from the water). And if they were actually there, being filmed, they would be moving, like everything else is.
Kinda? So both are real shows that occured, but they didn't occur together, and neither are being played back in real time (watch the plane fly across the sky in super-speed to get an idea of how sped up this is)
The city is Shanghai but I thought that dragon drone was for the Shenzhen dragon boat festival, admittedly they probably use the same dragon design for multiple events
digging in to it more, im wrong. its sorta a real thing, in that its not ai generated. but its a couple different events spliced together with the dragon sped up. according to a whole bunch of people anyway.

I get that's a reference to the band and it's most iconic album cover, but that's the The Bund in Shanghai

I thought the fireworks were more in the foreground & the whole thing was sped up, but
RoymanHenryburg
No. You can see the circle and fireworks slowly zooming in while everything else is stationary. It also disappears.
Dasnekones
It's a composite of the two. That said, drones can easily be made to resist simple fireworks

The city in the backdrop isn’t even Hong Kong.

The Pearl TV Tower is a dead giveaway.
