The next rock concert you see might be performed by robots.

A team of flying robots become maestros in a new YouTube video featuring six-rotor drones performing epic renditions of popular songs on keyboards, drums, bells and slide guitar, without missing a beat or a note.

The “Flying Robot Rockstars” tackle notable tunes like “Also Sprach Zarathustra” (famously used in Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”) and “Carol of the Bells.” They were created by KMel Robotics, are positionally programmed to the millimeter and controlled by a remote computer acting as their digital conductor.

“These guys are about to make the internet explode,” one YouTube user commented.

WATCH:

The flying robo band is scheduled to perform live at the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C. the weekend of April 26-27.
