Top DJs will perform under 400 drones at new Berkhamsted festival

A new festival in Berkhamsted has announced a spectacular 400-drone aerial display, choreographed to the music, alongside a lineup of top DJs.

Berko Fields Festival, taking place at the Berkhamsted Cricket Club from September 11 to 13, has revealed that the Friday (Fish56Octagon) and Saturday (Symphonica Orchestra) headline sets will end with a huge wave of drones rising from behind the main stage to fill the sky as an awe-inspiring climax to a day of music, dancing, and entertainment.

The dazzling drone display will rise in sync with the headline sets as they reach their peak, on Friday night during Fish56Octagon's closing chapter of The House Takeover, and on Saturday as Symphonica Orchestra build towards the finale of their Ibiza Classics performance. Crowds will be wowed by huge, ultra-vivid, large-scale formations - unique 3D shapes and images that will shift and evolve before their eyes, creating a stunning multi-sensory experience.

At Berko Fields, set against the natural darkness of The Chilterns and alongside thousands of people immersed in the music, organisers promise a spectacular, unmissable effect.

The aerial drone display adds an extra dimension to a world-class lineup of electronic music from Fish56Octagon, DJ SKT, BBC Radio 1's Danny Howard and Symphonica Orchestra, a family-focused finale on Sunday 13th from Raver Tots headlined by So Solid Crew and Artful Dodger, and a carefully curated street food line-up, with local traders spanning everything from smashed burgers to sourdough pizza.
