Unauthorized drone appears at Arkells concert

A group of Canadian rockers encountered an unusual flying fan Friday night when an unauthorized drone operator filmed an impromptu music video as they performed in downtown Winnipeg.

 

Max Kerman, singer for Canadian alt-rock group the Arkells, said he noticed a drone “coming very close to the stage” while the band was headlining the Burt Block Party.

 

“I figured I just missed the memo that the festival was operating a drone,” Kerman said in a video posted to social media after the show. “Throughout the show, I sort of developed a relationship with the drone. I’d signal it to come closer and then I’d sort of push it away and it would act accordingly. It turns out, that was an illegal drone.”
