The Burj Khalifa was covered by a record-setting LED display during Dubai's 2014 New Year's Eve celebration.
Dubai used the skyscraper's exterior as a giant illuminated screen, combining LED panels, animations, and fireworks in a highly choreographed production. The display formed part of the city's 2014–2015 New Year's Eve event and was widely reported as a record-setting large-scale light show.
Burj Khalifa is located in Downtown Dubai and has been the focus of several major New Year's Eve productions. Its height makes it visible across much of the city, while the surrounding development provides viewing areas for the public.
The building is sometimes confused with Burj Al Arab, another famous Dubai landmark. Burj Al Arab is the sail-shaped hotel on the coast; Burj Khalifa is the needle-like skyscraper used for the vertical light display. Records for later celebrations may involve different technical categories, so the year matters.
