NEWSUBSTANCE and SKYMAGIC have created a global presence with aerial drone light displays at major live events.
Creative studio NEWSUBSTANCE was founded in West Yorkshire in 2004. It launched its drone light show division, SKYMAGIC, in 2015.
NEWSUBSTANCE has a strong history of designing and delivering innovative installations worldwide. They've worked with Coachella Festival, Dubai’s EXPO 2020, Mumford & Sons and Riot Games.
SKYMAGIC has also made its mark globally. They create artistic aerial drone light displays for high-profile events and global brands. Notable projects include the late Queen's Jubilee celebrations at Buckingham Palace, ‘The Silence of Light’ at Hegra during the AIUla Wellness Festival in Saudi Arabia and the London New Year’s Eve shows. They've also handled many global launches for major brands like Paramount+.
With offices in Europe and Asia, SKYMAGIC pushes the limits of artistic performance. They use cutting-edge drone technology to provide spectacular entertainment and tell stories for clients worldwide.
We work all over the world and are proud to be based in Leeds and in West Yorkshire, and to add to the region’s rich history of innovation, creativity and to its engineering heritage. Leeds is a superb place to work, it is a vibrant city with a great community and we love being based here. Easy access to London and to the US and the Middle East are really important for us and Leeds really delivers here, with its own airport and close proximity to Manchester Airport.
