One week left for ‘spellbinding’ drone show in Edgbaston

Watch the universe unfold in an epic-scale drone light show at Edgbaston Stadium next Saturday, 26 October.

Evolution, an epic drone light show promises to take audiences on a mesmerising journey through time and space.

The event is brought to Birmingham by Celestial, creators of drone light shows for brands across the globe, local experiences company Yuup, and venue partner Edgbaston Stadium, home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

Evolution, the drone light show, will present the very latest in creative entertainment with this spellbinding celebration of the living world.

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.

Following hugely successful sell-out shows in Bristol, Cardiff, and the East Midlands, Evolution is set to tour the UK throughout 2024. 

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 said: “We’re hugely excited to be partnering with Celestial to bring this unique spectacle to the people of Birmingham and at such an epic scale.

“Our shows have now been viewed by 60,000 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 Birmingham, encouraging people to look up and reconnect with the world.”

Ella Hogan, Edgbaston special events manager said: “We are sure that this drone show will provide people with something new and exciting to experience this Autumn. We’re so thrilled to be able to bring the Evolution drone show to Edgbaston.”
