Kargo's Dazzling Display at Cannes Lions with an Impressive 1,400 Drones
New and Improved Cannes Lions Drone Show Sets the Bar High
Hey there! Get ready to be dazzled, because this year's Cannes Lions festival has upped its game in a big way!
Harry Kargman, CEO and founder of ad solutions company Kargo, seems to have a knack for scaling things big. After showcasing an impressive drone show with 600 drones last year, they decided to outdo themselves by doubling the count to 1,400 drones for this edition.
The brilliance behind this spectacle came from a partnership with Drone Stories, producers of the event, and Nova Sky Stories, drone rental providers founded by Kimbal Musk — yes, the younger brother of Elon Musk.
The stunning light show took place at Stagwell Sport Beach, where the annual Clio Sports Honorary Awards Dinner was underway, and lit up the Mediterranean Sea in a breathtaking display of technology and creativity.
Interestingly, there have been other grand drone shows happening around the globe. Remember the 'Loaded Lions Drone Show' in Miami, Florida, that set a Guinness World Record for the largest aerial currency symbol formed by drones back in 2025? [1]
And don't forget about 'Garuda Rakshak', a drone-based search and rescue system designed to combat child exploitation and help reunite families during large gatherings. [2]
Lastly, Lexus showcased an immersive event during Milan Design Week 2025, focusing on bringing people and machines closer together. [3] Drone technology is indeed making its mark in various sectors!
