Silent Disco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What is it?

The so-called 'Silent Disco' is a tent at the Reading and Leeds festivals (or indeed anywhere else), wherein dancers are provided with personal wireless headphones which can be tuned in to listen to one of two DJ's in the tent. Because of the lack of noise, this tent is allowed to remain open the latest at the two festivals, and people often go if there is nothing else to do late at night.

[edit] Name Origin

This type of disco earnt its name because of the fact that an outsider walking in would see a tent full of people dancing, yet hear no music, hence silent disco.
