DIG SHIBUYA 2026: A New Milestone in Drone Entertainment

On February 14, 2026, the night sky over Yoyogi Park in Shibuya was transformed into a stunning canvas as the ‘DIG SHIBUYA 2026 / Digital Garage DRONE SHOW “Earthshot”’ made history by becoming the largest drone show in Japan with a remarkable 3,030 drones. This significant event was organized by Redcliff Inc., in partnership with Digital Garage, SHIBUYA CREATIVE TECH Committee, and Shibuya City.

Setting a New Standard

The show featured a dazzling array of drones, intricately choreographed to tell a grand story against the backdrop of the Tokyo night sky. The number of drones—3,030—was symbolically chosen to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Digital Garage, which was established in 1995. This milestone figure not only highlights the technological prowess involved but also signifies a new chapter in the world of drone performances.

Redcliff has a history of setting records in drone shows and this latest achievement marks the third time they have raised the bar for Japan's largest drone show. Previous records included a show in 2025 that featured 2,200 drones and another for the Osaka-Kansai Expo that showcased 3,000 drones. This continual push for innovation demonstrates Redcliff's commitment to exploring the potential of drone technology in live entertainment.

A Vision from Moonshot to Earthshot

The concept of the show, titled “EARTHSHOT – From Moonshot to Earthshot,” is a modern reinterpretation of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s vision for humanity’s efforts to reach the moon. The theme invites audiences to shift focus from lofty aspirations of extraterrestrial exploration to a grounded perspective aimed at sustaining our home planet, Earth. This message echoes the need for responsibility in our current epoch, challenging onlookers to consider the role of technology in preserving and enhancing life on Earth.

A Grand Story Unfolds

Throughout the show, the drones painted captivating scenes in the sky. The narrative began with a spectacular depiction of a rocket launching from Earth into space, followed by an imaginative encounter between astronauts and a futuristic robotic bee, the “Digi-Hachi,” suggested to be the 28th generation of its kind. Each sequence illustrated the evolution of life, showcasing creatures thriving across land, sea, and air, illuminated by a symphony of light that filled the Shibuya skyline.

The finale was especially poignant, coinciding with Valentine’s Day—audiences witnessed a massive heart shape formed in the night sky, prompting cheers and applause from attendees, culminating in an unforgettable spectacle that blended wonder with technological artistry.
