A drone light show like no other
‘Evolution’, the drone light show, presents the very latest in creative entertainment with this spellbinding celebration of the living world.
Audiences will be immersed in an epic-scale event using hundreds of drones in the night sky, fusing cutting-edge technology and creativity to spark the imagination and stir the soul. The narrated story starts with the Big Bang, the explosive birth of the universe, before journeying into the remarkable origins of conscious life on Earth.
Audiences can expect epic storytelling with themes of transformation, growth and the perpetual dance of change. From single-cell organisms, awe-inspiring dinosaurs, and the dawning of modern humans, ‘Evolution’ is a captivating homage to the past, celebration of the present and glimpse into the horizons of the future.
An event to remember!
Following hugely successful sell-out shows in Bristol, Cardiff, Nottingham and Southampton, ‘Evolution’ is continuing its UK tour, stopping off in Northampton on the way.
The event is suitable for both families and individuals of all ages to enjoy, with those in attendance witnessing an introduction to the state-of-the-art drone technology before experiencing the main drone performance.
John Hopkins, Celestial’s Founder and CEO, said: “Evolution has been four years in the making. This is so much more than a drone light show; it’s an experience of stadium scale, created to bring audiences together using a new medium, the sky, to tell the story of time.”
Dominic Mills, Founder and CEO of Yuup, added: “We’re hugely excited to be partnering with Celestial to bring this unique spectacle to the people of Northampton and at such an epic scale. Our shows have now been viewed by 100,000 people, and the show is now even bigger and better with more drones and a much longer show time than our early productions. ‘Evolution’ offers a brand-new source of entertainment unlike anything anyone has ever seen before in Northampton, encouraging people to look up and reconnect with the world.”
