Festival Clubs
Now a regular feature at Glastonbury, T in the Park and any festival that matters, Silent Disco brings its headphone-based aural treats to the Fringe. Basically, it involves shuffling around
in silence listening to music piped directly into your headphones. You can choose from two DJs depending on
your mood or just take off your ‘phones and marvel at the bizarre sight of several hundred folk grooving along
to nowt. Surely the quietest club night in history.
