What you settle once booked

  • How many channels?

    Two or three channels is the classic move — different genres compete, and the headset colors show who's listening to what.

  • Who runs each channel?

  • When does the silent disco run?

    Continuing after curfew is the headline use: the speakers stop at curfew and the headphones pick up the same dance floor.

  • How do headsets get to guests?

What to look over

Correct these details as needed.

  • How many headsets?

    Override to size for an after-party subset.
