“Silent Disco” | Interactive Dance Installation

Weird Bird Music returns to PASEO 2025 with two nights of their crowd-favorite Silent Disco, transforming Kit Carson Park into an immersive dance experience like no other. On September 12th and 13th, festival-goers will step into a kaleidoscopic world of sound and light, donning wireless headphones and choosing from three live DJ channels—each offering a different musical journey.

Weird Bird Music’s Silent Disco uses a multi-channel headphone system, allowing up to 80 participants to switch between three DJs in real-time, visually indicated by the color of their headphones. This creates an intimate yet playful communal experience where dancers can share their musical choices with a glance.
