HERE COMES THE JUDGE?

Silent disco is a unique way of experiencing live music – whether it be a DJ or even a live band. Guests wear wireless headphones and a silent atmosphere instantly transforms in to a high energy musical performance.

Last year, thousands of people joined us for our first outdoor silent disco party in Long Island City. This year, we’re bringing the party to all five boroughs and it’s all free. Join us in the Bronx for a rare chance to dance at historic Woodlawn.
