The Magic Of Oz Hits The Skies Of Southampton This March

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Drone Light Show by Celestial is coming to Utilita Bowl on Saturday 8th March

The creative minds behind drone light show spectacles, Evolution and A Christmas Carol have announced a magical new show for 2025, after the huge success of Evolution in 2024, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Coming to Southampton on Saturday 8th March, the show will light up the night sky above Utilita Bowl for one night only.

Audiences attending this brand-new show, performed by hundreds of illuminated drones, will be taken on a mesmerising journey alongside Dorothy and her friends to the magical land of Oz. This enchanting new show is touring the UK, with Southampton as the second stop. Audiences can also catch the performance in stadiums across Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, and the North East.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Drone Light Show, is the latest show created by Celestial (creators of drone light shows for brands across the globe), in collaboration with Yuup (the local experiences company) and venue partner Utilita Bowl, the home of Hampshire Cricket.

Audiences are always looking for new and exciting ways to consume entertainment, and drone light shows are just that! We are the first to bring storytelling in this form and length to audiences around the UK, with our show lasting 45 minutes, compared to a typical drone light show of 8-12 minutes.

We’re hugely excited to be returning to Southampton following the brilliant reception we had to Evolution last year, attendees can expect an immersive cinematic experience like no other!

Dominic Mills, founder of Yuup

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a beloved tale that has been endlessly retold across various genres. This time, it is uniquely presented through drone art, elevating it beyond a traditional drone light show to an epic, stadium-scale experience.

This innovative artistic medium brings audiences together through a shared sense of wonder to celebrate a universal story of human strength and belonging.

John Hopkins, founder of Celestial

We take pride in hosting iconic events, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz will be the second drone light show to come to the city, and after the success of last year’s event, we’re so excited for this one.

Greig Stewart, Head of Customer Experience at Utilita Bowl
