800 drones. 225,000 Citizens. One spectacular City of Dreams.

Once again, AO Multimedia & Drones became part of the unique world of PAROOKAVILLE, extending the storytelling of Europe’s largest electronic music festival from the stage into the night sky.

For the Opening Ceremony, 800 drones created dynamic and emotional aerial imagery inspired by this year’s theme, “The Aquarius.” Precisely synchronized with lighting, video, lasers, SFX and pyrotechnics, the drone choreography became an integral part of the overall multimedia production. Therefore they transformed the sky into another spectacular layer of the show.

And the story continued through the Closing Ceremony: Bill Parooka returned to the sky, while our drones also gave 225,000 Citizens a first glimpse of what lies ahead by revealing the first acts for PAROOKAVILLE 2027.

From opening a festival to creating emotional brand moments and building anticipation for what comes next, drone technology offers entirely new possibilities for live entertainment and large-scale storytelling. Moreover performing in a demanding live festival environment, our drone fleet demonstrated outstanding speed, precision and resilience under changing wind and weather conditions.

From stage to sky. From technology to emotion. From a moment to a memory.

The main show and the 2027 teaser were created in close collaboration with Jerry Appelt Lichtdesign, the PAROOKAVILLE production team and our long-standing partners at poolGroup. Thank you for the continued trust, the outstanding teamwork and another unforgettable journey into the City of Dreams.
