Creation of show design, colours and effects with 3D visualisation – matched to music and timing for a coherent overall experience.
Leipzig and light share a special history: the annual Festival of Lights commemorates the Peaceful Revolution of 1989, when the city made history. A drone show in Leipzig continues this tradition with state-of-the-art technology – hundreds of synchronised drones paint glowing images above Augustusplatz, the Monument to the Battle of the Nations or the Red Bull Arena and make your event the talk of the whole city.

Leipzig is one of Germany’s most dynamic cities – with a growing creative scene, international trade fairs and a sports-loving audience. Showmatrix has already set standards here: at the RB Leipzig Christmas singing event, our drone show enchanted tens of thousands of spectators in the Red Bull Arena. Whether sporting event, trade fair or city festival – a drone show gives your occasion its spectacular dimension in the night sky.
The monumental silhouette of the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, Augustusplatz with the opera house and Gewandhaus, the wide parklands of Clara-Zetkin-Park or the lakes of the Neuseenland: Leipzig offers impressive backdrops for light art in the sky. Our team develops a tailor-made choreography for your location – matched to sight lines, audience and the message you want to write in the sky.
A drone show is an event where a group of drones with synchronised lights light up the sky at night. Unlike traditional fireworks displays that use pyrotechnic effects, a drone show utilises LED lights that are precisely programmed to create impressive light patterns and choreography.
Drone shows offer an environmentally friendly and safe alternative to fireworks. They produce no smoke, cause no noise and leave no harmful residue. They also minimise the risk of accidents and fires, resulting in a safer event environment.
Drone shows in Leipzig are ideal for a wide range of events – for example the Festival of Lights, sporting events in the Red Bull Arena, trade fairs, city festivals and Christmas markets. Weddings, anniversaries and New Year’s Eve celebrations also become unforgettable moments with a light show in the night sky.
Basically, it can be said that the more drones there are, the more diverse the possibilities for visualisation become. From our expertise, we can say that beautiful lighting effects and formations are possible from a number of 100 drones and the multi-dimensional possibilities can conjure up breathtaking effects and images in the sky with 200 – 2000 drones. The size of the drone package is of course always dependent on the customer’s wishes, requirements and budget.
Drone shows are significantly safer as the drones used are equipped with advanced safety precautions such as redundancy systems and emergency protocols. Care is also taken to define safety zones for the audience and staff.
The preparation time for a drone show depends on the scope of the show. As a rule, the planning and coordination takes 2-3 weeks to ensure that everything runs smoothly. However, our team is very experienced and able to realise requests at short notice.
Yes. A drone show in Leipzig requires aviation permits – the responsible body is the aviation authority of the state of Saxony. Depending on the venue, coordination with the municipality, public order office and other local bodies may also be required. The experienced Showmatrix team handles the entire permit process for you – from application to clearance on the day of the event.
Yes, drone shows can integrate customised patterns, lettering, logos and messages into the choreography. This enables a customised and unique performance that is specifically tailored to the client’s needs.
The cost of a drone show in Leipzig depends on the number of drones, the duration of the show and the complexity of the choreography – but is generally significantly lower than a comparable fireworks display. We will be happy to prepare a customised quote for your event.
