Adding to the eclectic nature of the festival were some new features, including a photo booth on the site and a Silent Rock Show tent.

Silent Events, which produces Bonnaroo’s Silent Disco, is the group behind the new Silent Rock Show concept, which allows participants to listen to a live band through wireless headphones, dancing and moving to music that others can’t hear.

“We wanted to bring something new and different to the Crawfish Boil,” said Silent Events owner Ryan Dowd. “As opposed to a DJ spinning records (at the Silent Disco), it’s someone performing. We wanted to up the ante.”

Article excerpt:

One of the extras at this year’s Boil will be a “silent rock show” tent, similar to the “silent disco” concept that’s become popular at other music festivals.

A band will perform in the tent without amplification; listeners can hear the music through wireless headphones, via a signal sent by radio transmitter.
Organizers said details are pending, but the band will play specific sets at the festival, perhaps three or four times each day.
