Imagine: a live classical music concert, 5,000 candles lighting up the stage at ground level, and a thousand drones in the sky performing a hypnotic dance of figures flying over a string quartet. Following its international success, the DroneArt Show is back in Lyon, at the Hippodrome de Parilly, a venue far from the hustle and bustle of the city, with clear skies and little light pollution for optimum visual effect. See you on May 15 and 16, 2026! Tickets are now available.
DroneArt Show lights up the skies over Lyon
After delighting audiences in Los Angeles, Miami, Madrid and Milan, the DroneArt Show is back in Lyon. The keystone of the show is the combination of the emotion of classical music and the precision of high technology. The result: a dance of drones creating figures in tune with each melody of Vivaldi, Debussy or Tchaikovsky. Food trucks and DJ sets complete the experience.
What is the DroneArt Show?
An exceptional encounter between cultural heritage and cutting-edge technology. The timeless works of the great masters of classical music are brought to life by high-flying technological tools during this event. The real added value: duration. In order to ensure sufficient flight time for the drones, the show consists of two alternating fleets – while one flies, the other recharges – unlike traditional drone shows (which last an average of 10 minutes).
In this 2.0 concert, a string quartet plays surrounded by 5,000 candles. The glow creates an almost magical atmosphere, with shadows, the flickering effect of light… and suddenly, as the piece intensifies, a fleet of drones appears, perfectly synchronized, painting the sky with evocative shapes of light and color. Flowers, stars, swans… Anything is possible. The show is part art, part technology, part music. The repertoire ranges from Vivaldi to Mussorgsky to Tchaikovsky… You’ll be amazed!
