As a trade fair and business hub, Düsseldorf welcomes millions of visitors from all over the world every year. Whether welcoming international guests at a trade fair, as the highlight of a corporate event or as a crowd puller at a city festival: a drone show communicates brand messages, logos and emotions in a way that stays in people’s minds – modern, precise and spectacular.
The sweeping Rhine promenade, the Rhine Tower, the modern architecture of the Media Harbour or the wide Rhine meadows in Oberkassel: Düsseldorf offers superb open spaces and sight lines for light art in the sky. The Showmatrix team selects the ideal launch and show site with you and develops a choreography to match the setting and your occasion – from exclusive events to shows for tens of thousands of spectators.
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 Düsseldorf are ideal for a wide range of events – for example Japan Day, the biggest funfair on the Rhine, trade fairs, corporate events and city festivals. 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 Düsseldorf requires aviation permits – the responsible body is the aviation authority of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. 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 Düsseldorf 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.
