- Almost 90 drones fell into Sydney Harbour during a light show at the Vivid Sydney festival on Monday night, leading to the cancellation of multiple performances.
- The incident occurred during the 7.30pm Star-Bound performance, with videos showing drones breaking formation and dropping into the water.
- Skymagic, the British company operating the display, attributed the malfunction to “an unforeseen change in the radio frequency (RF) environment occurring after take-off.”
- No injuries were reported, and the CEO of Destination NSW, the government agency that runs Vivid Sydney, confirmed to ABC Radio Sydney that safety systems functioned as intended.
- All Star-Bound shows for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings were cancelled to allow for a “full technical and safety review.”
