Indoor Drone Light Shows in Columbus, OH

Illuminate Drones produces indoor drone light shows in Columbus for arena concerts, conventions, and large events. On December 23, 2025, the team flew the indoor drone show for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Nationwide Arena, running both segments during the second half of the rock opera. Nationwide Arena, home to the Blue Jackets, regularly hosts large touring productions, so the drones had to coexist with the venue's stage rigging and lighting.

"Dream of Candlelight"

During the show's second half, the first indoor drone light show provided a grand visual element for the song "Dream of Candlelight." We flew a large fleet of drones, setting up formations that were positioned high over front of house.

The collective fleet of drones created unified, flowing drone show designs of light. These moving elements added significant visual depth, supporting the emotional focus of the live performer. It was a signature component of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Columbus engagement.

"Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)"

Approximately 25 minutes later, the drone light show transitioned to a high-intensity mode for the instrumental track "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)." This segment is a display of dynamic, close-proximity flying.

As two guitarists performed on an elevated stage lift, our drones executed intricate, fast flight paths around them. A key technical feature was the precise flying that guided the drones underneath the operating lift during the band's performance. This complex setup ensures the indoor drone show is an essential, high-impact part of the Nationwide Arena rock spectacular.
