Silent Disco is a disco party without the traditional speaker system, instead relying on the use of wireless headphones and an FM transmitter to deliver the music to participants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to no music. Silent Disco was born in the summer of 2002 when two friends organised a secret party on the campsite of the Dutch Theatre Festival Parade. Apart from the people that joined them, nobody knew, as the party people were all wearing wireless headphones.

Silent Disco soon became a hit in The Netherlands and Belgium, soon followed by France. But it didn’t stop there.
In 2005 Glastonbury Festival hosted the UK premiere of Silent Disco and very soon, valued patrons at HQ nightclub here in Thurles can experience at first hand for the first time, this unbelievable music sensation.

Silent Disco is the biggest and most unusual music sensation to hit any nightclub. Internationally, it has successfully managed  to electrify  music fans with  mixes of dance, hard house, punk, disco, salsa, early swing from the twenties, alternative, world, electro, hardstyle, gabber and  Dixieland.
