The Trans-Siberian Orchestra East band crossed the border for dual performances in Hamilton, ON, at the TD Coliseum on Sunday, December 28. Illuminate Drones successfully delivered both sequences of the indoor drone light show for the high-energy arena production.

Deploying an advanced indoor drone show system into a premier venue like TD Coliseum requires technical precision to ensure consistent performance alongside the intense demands of the TSO production. Our system performed two complex light segments during the second half of the TSO rock opera.

Segment One: Dozens of Drones for "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 fleet of dozens of drones, setting up formations that were positioned high over front of house.

The collective fleet of dozens 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 Hamilton engagement.

Segment Two: High-Energy Drones for "Wish Liszt"

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 dozens of 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 TD Coliseum rock spectacular.
