melthebell Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just like a nightclub night but instead of having full PA system blasting out, music gets played via headphones instead ive heard all the phones play different choons too? a local festivals got one planned, might make it, might not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffbag Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Totally and utterly pointless gimmick. Why? Its great, offers the crowd 2 different nights in one, makes for a good dj battle to try and get as much of the crowd as you can singing to your tunes. I'd do another in a shot if asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you might be listenign to one track then your friends might have the other dj on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffbag Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why? -Gives you the choice of 2 different kinds of music. Also makes for a massive reaction when all of a sudden you hear every one sing-a-long in a completely silent bar. Unless of course you're the dj and they are singing along to the other guy Its something different, bit of a laugh but i've not been to a bad one yet either working or as a punter Guess its not the kind of thing for Radio 2 listeners Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider listening to music as a hobby (of sorts), I'm still not interested in the pointless rubbish your promoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vantastic Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I was also skeptical until I experienced it first hand, as previously said it's great fun. And I was in the Cavendish for the silent disco on freshers week and the other DJ was loads better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I really don't get the point of a headphone disco in a nightclub. On the other hand, a headphone disco allowing you to have a club night in places where you couldn't normally is awesome. I've done several outdoors til the early hours where we had noise restrictions after 11pm. Chuck in a decent lighting and video rig and you effectively have a nightclub on the street. It's this soft of thing which I think makes the idea come into it's own (didn't it start at Glasto as a way for people to party through the night without disturbing campers?), and can give people a completely different experience. How awesome would a headphone disco on the Peace Gardens at at August bank holiday be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
