The Festival Stage Everyone Talks About

Silent disco stages are the most Instagrammed, most talked-about experience at any festival. Give your audience the power to choose their own vibe.

From $49 USD/headset 350+ headphones in our fleet 500m wireless range

Every major music festival now features a silent disco stage — and it's consistently one of the most popular attractions. The concept is simple but powerful: 3 DJs play simultaneously on 3 channels, and the crowd chooses which one to listen to by switching channels on their headphones. The result? A dance floor where people in different coloured headphones dance to completely different music, creating an unforgettable visual and social experience.

Frequently Asked Questions: Silent Disco for Festivals & Music Events

How many headphones do I need for a festival silent disco stage?

It depends on your expected attendance at the stage. For a dedicated silent disco area, plan for 60-70% of peak capacity. A 500-person capacity area needs 300-350 headphones. We can advise on the right quantity for your festival size.

Are the headphones durable enough for festivals?

Yes. Our headphones are built for event use with reinforced headbands, sweat-resistant ear pads, and impact-resistant construction. They've survived hundreds of festivals, rain and shine. We also include carrying cases for transport and storage.

Can we run a silent disco stage outdoors all night?

That's the whole point. Since there are no external speakers, there are no noise complaints. Many festivals use silent disco as the late-night stage that runs until sunrise after the main stages shut down for noise curfew.

What's the battery life for a full festival day?

Our headphones last 8+ hours on a single charge — enough for an entire festival evening and night. For multi-day festivals, we include charging racks that charge 50+ headphones simultaneously overnight.
