Dazzling displays of beloved animals, from soaring birds to prowling tigers, will light up London for the first time as fan-favourite drone show arrives at iconic Lord's Cricket Ground
London, 8 September 2026 - The iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground will be transformed into a spectacular animal kingdom this winter as WILD: The Drone Light Show makes its central London debut on Saturday, 21 November. The landmark event will mark central London’s first feature-length drone light show and the first event of its kind to be staged at Lord’s.
For more than 200 years, Lord’s has been synonymous with cricket and some of the defining moments in the history of the sport. This winter, audiences will instead look skywards as WILD takes them on a journey through four extraordinary worlds: desert, ocean, arctic, and jungle.
Created by Britain’s Got Talent Series 19 runners-up Celestial and produced by experience company Yuup, WILD combines spectacular drone choreography with cinematic music for an immersive experience perfect for families, wildlife lovers and anyone who enjoys a spectacular night out. Unlike traditional fireworks displays, the show contains no loud bangs, making it quieter for audiences while reducing disruption for pets and wildlife.
Already a hit with audiences, WILD has attracted more than 15,000 audience reviews with an average rating of 4.9 stars out of 5 since launching in 2025.
London is the latest addition to a nationwide tour which also includes Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Ipswich, Nottingham, Rotherham, Southampton and Worcester. Tickets for the London show go on general sale next Tuesday, 15 September, but audiences can join the waitlist via the Fever app and wilddroneshow.com for priority access.
Launched in 2025, WILD follows a series of successful touring drone shows from Yuup and Celestial, including A Christmas Carol and Evolution. Since launching the UK's first ticketed touring drone light shows in 2023, the partnership has welcomed more than 200,000 visitors across the country.
Dominic Mills, Founder of Yuup, said: “Lord’s is a British icon, so there’s something particularly exciting about bringing one of the newest forms of live entertainment to a venue with more than two centuries of history.
“Drone shows allow us to tell stories on a scale that simply wasn’t possible before. With WILD, the night sky becomes our stage, and the animals become our characters. To see that unfold above Lord’s, right in the heart of London, will be a genuinely special experience.”
“With WILD, we set out to capture the wonder of the natural world and put audiences at the heart of it. When we asked our audiences what they most wanted to see in a drone show, the answer was clear: the animal kingdom. That inspired a journey across deserts, oceans, arctic worlds and jungles, brought vividly to life in the night sky - from penguins to polar bears.”
John Partridge, Director of Celestial, said: “We’ve always seen drones as one part of a much bigger live experience. WILD brings together drones, lighting, special effects and audio to create a complete piece of live theatre. Bringing that to Lord’s, one of London’s most iconic venues, and doing something there that hasn’t been done before is really exciting for us. We had an incredible amount of support during our time on Britain’s Got Talent, which helped us become runners-up, and it would be lovely to see some of those people at Lord’s and give them the chance to experience what we do in person.”
Andy Muggleton, MCC Commercial Director said: “We’re delighted to welcome WILD to Lord’s this winter for what will be a landmark first in the Ground’s history. Lord’s has been the stage for unforgettable sporting moments for more than 200 years, but audiences have never seen it quite like this. To watch hundreds of drones transform the skies above the Ground into a giant animal kingdom promises to be a very special night.”
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a pre-show food village, where a wide selection of food and drinks will be available before the performance begins after dark. Premium ticket and hospitality options will also be available, making use of Lord’s renowned facilities.
