About Silent Events

Silent Events is a cutting-edge production company specializing in Silent Discos and other wireless headphone events. From Silent Raves in Maui, Silent Rooftop Parties in New York City and the Silent Disco at Bonnaroo, Silent Events is the company that makes it all happen.  At a Silent Event, rather than using a traditional speaker system, live music is broadcasted and picked up by specially designed wireless headphones worn by the audience. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to silence. People watching is half the fun!

This concept first appeared in America in 2005 at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Ryan Dowd, owner of Silent Events, was put in charge of running the Silent Disco and due to his resounding success he has been brought back year after year to produce what is being called “the most exciting attraction of Bonnaroo.”
