Looks like an overlay from a rear light filmed at the show and the rest of the flares are natural in-camera flares. Not sure what else you are seeing/ trying to see. Anyway, the magic with any lighting effects is to rely on 32bpc and Add blending mode... Even without tweaking, most effects will look much more awesome just with that...

Maybe. I dont' even know what a "32bpc" is.
I've been using deliberate and accidental flares for achieving magical and delightfully sexy results for forty years on 16mm film, 35mm slides and all kinds of video including simulations in After Effects and Final Cut.
My best and favorite flares are stock footage items that we, over decades, carefully staged and shot using slide preojctors, lensed stage lighting instruments (lekos and fresnels), naked point-source and grain-of-wheat lightbulbs, matches, candles, LEDs, lasers and disco effects units. We've shot in dark garages, dark studios, against white, against clouds, through filters and obscuration systems like Vaseline or gluechip glass and through dozens of different lenses at lots of f-stops ad focus settings.
