A stunning drone display has returned to Vivid Sydney, lighting up the sky with a choreographed performance of light and sound. The show, titled Star-Bound, marks the festival's first drone show in two years, following concerns over a crowd crush in 2024 that led to the drones being temporarily removed from the program.
Show Details
The drone show takes place every Sunday to Wednesday at 7.30pm and 9.30pm above Darling Harbour during the festival. The opening night's first performance was cancelled due to a technical malfunction, reportedly caused by rainy weather.
Background
Thousands of drones participated in the spectacle, creating intricate patterns and formations in the night sky. The return of the drone show has been eagerly anticipated by festival-goers and locals alike.
Vivid Sydney 2026 continues with a range of light installations, music performances, and creative events across the city.
