Indoor Drone Light Shows in Knoxville, TN

Illuminate Drones is a drone light show company that produces indoor drone light shows in Knoxville for concerts, conventions, corporate events, and large gatherings. On November 19, 2025, the team flew the indoor drone show for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center, running both segments during the second half of the rock opera. Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center is one of Knoxville's main event venues, so the drones had to work alongside the existing lighting, sound, and staging.

"Dream of Candlelight"

Our first contribution during the show’s second half was for the ballad "Dream of Candlelight." We utilized a large fleet of drones, which flew into formation high above the front of house seating area.

The indoor drone light show created large, unified drone show designs that beautifully complemented the single vocalist on stage. The synchronized fleet of drones added a sweeping, three-dimensional light element to the Thompson-Boling Arena, highlighting the dramatic arc of the song.

"Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)"

About 25 minutes later, the performance shifted gears for the instrumental "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)," calling for a high-intensity drone light show.

As two guitarists were elevated on a lift, our drones performed aggressive, fast-paced maneuvers around the platform. A key technical feature was the execution of flight paths that took the drones underneath the operating lift while the band played. This close-quarters flying integrates the drone light show directly with the core live performance, maximizing the visual payoff for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Knoxville audience.
