How a Silent Disco Works
Instead of speakers, DJs play through a transmitter that sends audio to wireless headphones. Each guest wears a pair and can switch between channels, usually color-coded, using a button on the headphones.
Because the music is inside the headphones, the room itself is quiet. That makes silent discos a great fit for venues with sound limits, and it lets multiple DJs play at the same time.
Multiple DJs, One Floor
The best part is choice. With several channels running at once, you can follow the DJ you like, jump to another channel, or dance with a friend on a different channel and compare notes mid-song.
At Drifted Fest, the Silent Disco runs 3 channels on wireless headsets with multiple DJs. 50 Dallas and Texas DJs are on the Silent Disco lineup. See the full lineup.

What to Expect at Your First Silent Disco

- Check the headphones and switch channels until you find one you love.

Tips to Get the Most Out of It
