🕺🚨 RETRO DISCO ALERT 🚨🕺

After a string of sell-out events in the UK, Australia and America, Amazing Silent Disco is bringing its surreal dance party back to the National Gallery of Canada.

For one night only, this iconic venue will be transformed into a giant dancefloor - complete with a bar, nightclub-quality lighting, visual effects, and three amazing DJs spinning 80s, 90s, and 00s anthems across three channels.

You choose the vibe, and the hits keep coming. Already a global sensation, this is a retro silent disco experience you won't want to miss.

📣 WHAT TO EXPECT 📣

✔ On arrival you will be supplied with a set of wireless, light up headphones. We've streamlined the distribution so everyone can get on the dancefloor quicker.

✔ Each pair of headphones has a switch allowing you to toggle back and forth between our three live DJs.

✔ Hit the dancefloor and experience the magic as everyone grooves and sings along, and take off your headphones for a snippet of the wildest jumble of mass karaoke you've ever heard.

🎵 MUSIC 🎵

The three DJs will be performing side by side from a stage within the main exhibition space, and each will be playing a carefully curated setlist dedicated to a specific genre of eighties classics.

⭐ DJ 1: 80s 🕹️ 🛼

Step back in time to the electrifying era of the 1980s, where big hair, bold fashion, and even bigger beats ruled the airwaves. The tunes from musical legends like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Queen, and Whitney Houston will have you singing all night long for sure!

⭐ DJ 2: 90s 💾 🌈

Feel like gettin' jiggy? This is the channel for you! Phat beats from Britney Spears, Eminem, Spice Girls, Take That, N-Sync and more will keep the vibes going all night long.

⭐DJ 3: 00s 💿 🫧

With a "naughty" mix of pop, hip-hop, and everything in between, we'll be serving up bangers you can’t resist. From the bootylicious beats of Beyoncé and Shakira to the unforgettable tunes of Lady Gaga, The Killers and more, the noughties channel will be totally off the charts!
