This March, Cardiff will witness a spectacular event as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz drone light show comes to the city for one night only. On Friday, March 21, the skies above Sophia Gardens will transform into an enchanting display of light and sound, bringing the iconic tale of Dorothy and her journey to Oz to life in an innovative and mesmerising way.

 

Using hundreds of illuminated drones, the show reimagines L. Frank Baum’s classic story, features beloved characters like the playful Munchkins and the fearless Lion. Audiences will be taken on a captivating 45-minute journey filled with awe and wonder, celebrating courage, connection, and the magic that lies within us all. The creative minds behind this production, Celestial and Yuup, have previously dazzled audiences with shows like Evolution and A Christmas Carol, making this latest offering a must-see event for 2025.

 

Drone light shows are rapidly emerging as a unique art form, combining cutting-edge technology with artistic storytelling. This innovative approach redefines traditional theatre and storytelling, offering audiences an unforgettable experience. Dominic Mills, founder of Yuup, highlights the appeal of this medium, noting its ability to provide new and exciting ways to enjoy entertainment. The extended 45-minute format sets it apart from typical drone shows, offering a richer and more immersive experience.

 

The show has been described as “an epic stadium-scale experience”

 

John Hopkins, founder of Celestial, describes the production as “an epic, stadium-scale experience” that elevates the timeless tale of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. For Ed Rice, Head of Commercial at Glamorgan County Cricket Club, the show is a continuation of the success of last year’s Evolution event at Sophia Gardens, promising an even greater experience this time around.

 

In addition to the breathtaking drone display, attendees can look forward to an evening of entertainment, with a food village and stadium attractions open before and after the show. Gates open at 18:00, with the main event starting at 19:30.
