Anyone know what these guys are called?

Or more info, like where I can get these outfits, or how I can make them myself?

Next festival, if I wear an outfit, it's gonna be one of these, so very cool!

I don't know who thay are, but their kit is made from Electroluminescent wire (or EL wire, or Glowstring if you're searching for it). Ikea used to stock it in 2 meter lengths with a battery pack.
Hubby and I added it to our evening clothes for the Snake Pit and we got waved in past the the queue - someone assumed we were performing there.

neat extra benefit

they could change the colour and shape as well, btw, presumably they had the controls in one of their hands - changing from smiley to angry or evil face, maybe more faces, and activating the devil horns as well. that doable you think?

I'd guess that was just a different loop of wire for each 'face' and they switched them on or off. Pretty easy to do.
