The Breathing Collective: GLOW Drone Show at the Philips Stadion

For the first time in its history, GLOW brings a drone show to Eindhoven. During the light festival, from 7 to 14 November 2026, The Breathing Collective fills the Philips Stadion, the home of PSV, with drones, light and sound. It is also the first time since 2019 that GLOW returns to the stadium.

What is The Breathing Collective?

The Breathing Collective is a drone and light installation by TWOFIFTYK, a creative design studio from Eindhoven. Inside the stadium, a swarm of drones moves together with light and sound in a show of about fifteen minutes. The theme fits GLOW's 2026 theme, CONNECT: the show explores the relationship between the individual and the collective, between one point of light and the whole that many points create together. Anyone who has ever sat in a full stadium will feel the connection: thousands of people breathing, singing and moving as one.

Show times

There are four shows every evening, from Saturday 7 to Saturday 14 November:

• 18:30
• 19:15
• 20:00
• 20:45

Each show lasts about fifteen minutes. If demand is high, the organisers may add extra stands or performances.

Tickets

Unlike the rest of GLOW, the drone show requires a ticket, because the number of places in the stadium is limited.

• Price: €2 per ticket, plus transaction fees.
• Children up to and including 3 years old: free, with a parent. If the show is fully booked, they sit on a parent's lap.
• Wheelchair tickets are available and include one companion.
• Changing your time slot is free, subject to availability, up to 24 hours before the show, using the link in your confirmation e-mail.
• Tickets cannot be refunded or cancelled.

Seating is free within the stand section you choose, and your ticket tells you which entrance to use.

Before you go

• Arrive on time. Check-in opens 30 minutes before your time slot. You may need to wait in the concourse until the previous audience has left.
• Bags. Large backpacks are not allowed. Bags must be no larger than A4 and about 10 cm thick. Lockers are available at Mathildelaan 2A and at Eindhoven Centraal.
• Pushchairs are impractical because of the stairs; if you bring one, use entrance 35. Wheelchair users enter via entrance 36.
• No dogs are allowed in the stadium during the show.
• Weather. In extreme weather, such as heavy rain or storms, a show may be cancelled at short notice. You will then receive a link to reschedule.
• Flashing lights. The show uses regular flashes and colour patterns and is not recommended for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Combine with the GLOW route

The Philips Stadion is within walking distance of the city centre, so the drone show combines perfectly with the free GLOW route of about five kilometres. Book an early slot and walk the route afterwards, or end your GLOW evening at the stadium with the 20:45 show. Accessible toilets are available at the stadium for ticket holders.

Getting there

The Philips Stadion is about a fifteen-minute walk from Eindhoven Centraal. During GLOW, many streets in the centre are closed to traffic in the evening and the festival strongly advises against coming by car. If you do, pre-book a parking spot through GLOW's parking partner; the Philips Stadion is one of the parking locations.

For families

At €2, the drone show is one of the most affordable family outings of the year, and children up to 3 go free. Fifteen minutes is also a perfect length for younger children. See more ideas in Eindhoven with kids and our guide to GLOW 2026.
