Drone Light Shows for Concerts and Tours

Updated: Jun 10

A great concert is a complete world, and a drone light show extends that world into the sky. It can light up the artist's name and logo, echo the tour's visuals, and close the night on an encore finale timed to the music, a signature moment that travels from city to city. This guide covers why artists and tours add drone shows, what one can do, and what it costs.


Why artists and tours add a drone show


A drone show gives a tour a finale that becomes part of its identity, the same unforgettable moment in every city, and a flood of footage that fans film and share. It extends the production beyond the stage and gives the night a peak that lives on in clips long after the show ends.


What a concert drone show can do


The show can build the artist's or tour's name and logo, form album art and tour imagery, and close on an encore finale timed to the set, all in full color. It becomes a visual signature that fans associate with the tour.


Indoor arenas and outdoor venues


Drone shows are not just for open-air festivals. Smaller drones fly safely inside arenas, which is exactly how an indoor production adds an overhead finale, and outdoor venues allow the largest visuals. See our indoor and outdoor shows.


A show that tours with you


Once a show is designed, it can be flown again in city after city, which makes a drone show a repeatable signature for a tour rather than a one-off. The same finale can travel the whole route, adapting to each venue.


Footage fans share


A drone finale photographs and films beautifully, which turns every stop into content, for the artist, the venue, and the fans in the crowd. That shareable footage extends the reach of each show well beyond the room.


Cost and booking


Concert and tour drone shows scale with the size and length of the production and typically start around $15,000 to $20,000 per show, with efficiencies possible across a multi-stop tour. See the cost guide.
