Book Your College Party, Church Event, Or Silent Disco, Manchester, Tennessee!
The silent disco concept first appeared in 2005 at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, where Ryan Dowd, creator and owner of Silent Events, was put in charge of running the silent disco. Thanks to Dowd’s resounding success, he has been brought back year after year to produce what is being called “the most exciting attraction of Bonnaroo.”
USA Today in 2014 named Bonnaroo’s silent event one of the seven reasons you’ll wish you were at the festival, writing, “The silent disco is awesome. Take it from personal experience: This small tent packs some big fun.” That same year, Crave Online tabbed the silent disco as one of the festival’s events that was “bound to bring an endless stream of fun outside the beaten path of the standard festival fare.” These publications, along with many others, have brought recognition to one of the most fun and unique aspects of the festival.
The festival’s silent disco has been the site for a number of amazing sets by some of the festival’s biggest name over the last decade. Blues Traveler frontman John Popper and DJ Logic collaborated for an excellent daytime set in 2010. Also on the farm for a performance with his group Foster the People, Mark Foster got the crowd moving during the 2012 edition. And DJ Jazzy Jeff, known by many for his work with Will Smith, treated Bonnaroovians to a memorable set in 2013.
When fans enter the silent disco tent, the sights and sounds of 600 people dancing and singing to “silence” welcome them and set the table for hours of fun. For 10 years, Silent Events has been powering that fun, and the event has gotten better and better each year.

Really Quiet Concerts
Silent Events is considered the founding father of this movement. Created by Ryan Dowd, a former tour manager for Widespread Panic and Drive-By Truckers, the company introduced wireless headphone disco parties at Bonnaroo.

“I think it’s become a phenomenon because there are so many ways to enjoy it,” says Dowd. “If you don’t like loud music, you can dial down the volume. If you don’t like a certain type of music, you can change the channel. If you don’t dance, you can people watch.”

Bonnaroo 2012 Review
The crowd inside a relatively small tent all grooved out together while the sound is transmitted to personal wireless headphones instead of a normal PA system. To claim that the experience is surreal and a trip is an understatement. This one of a kind experiment should not be missed. I would not be surprised to see one popping up in an urban area near you soon.
