Weather permitting, Drone 100 will light up the skies above Sydney Harbour in a 7-minute performance each night starting at 8 p.m.

Flying in dynamic formation, the drones will showcase different shapes and colours to reveal a never-seen-before bespoke animation designed specifically for the Sydney performance.

Controlled by one main pilot, the performance will be synchronised to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, performed live by the Sydney Youth Orchestra, to create a magnificent display of art and technology.
