Silent Discos do away with the traditional speaker systems used in nightclubs or festivals. Everyone has a set of our wireless headphones to listen to the music and then have two DJ's playing simultaneously on two separate channels, which means you only listen to the music that you want to hear! If you don't like the music from the first DJ just flick the switch and listen to the second DJ. You are in control!
The Silent Disco, by SilentArena, starts at 7.30pm, (gates open 6.30pm). It's going to be great. Picture the scene. You walk into the Bowl and you see 100's of people all dancing but you can't hear any music. One of the DJ's starts to play Dizzie Rascal's Bonkers and half the crowd go wild, the other half are singing along to Kings of Leons, Sex on Fire - it's like nothing you have ever experienced before!
It's quite simple really. No DJ can please the entire crowd 100% of the time, by having two DJs we give the crowd a choice in which song they listen to at any one time and importantly at a volume that is decided by each individual. Everyone loves to be in control of the music they listen to and a Silent Disco is the perfect way to provide this opportunity.
Adults: £13
Concession and group rates: £11
One ticket free with every ten purchased.
