With the continuous progress of UAV swarm technology, the application of UAV in the field of music performance is increasing. As a new form of performance, the combination of UAV swarm performance and music makes the artistic expression of music present a new form. Through in-depth analysis of the technical support behind the UAV swarm performance, the realization path of UAV application in the field of music performance can be clarified. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the application research of different dimensions of UAV swarm by summarizing the artistic characteristics, the types and examples of UAV performance. At the same time, by analyzing the application possibility of UAV collaborative technology and swarm performance technology in the future, it provides some reference for the development of UAV swarm in the field of music performance.
