Bonnaroo’s Silent Disco & The Modern House Party

Authored by Scott Goldberg on June 20, 2007 - 6:50pm.
Bonnaroo Silent DiscoOne of the underrated activities at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was the Silent Disco, a tent that, when observed from the outside, looked like a bunch of hippie lunatics on drugs dancing to the sound of silence. Perhaps it’s for that reason the lines to get in stayed relatively short. But at 3am on Sunday morning, June 17th, partaking in the revelry of DJ Motion Potion, who was spinning live in the tent, my notion of the Silent Disco changed, and so did the concept and possibilities of a house party.  In fact for anyone who Silent Disco-ed it became a favorite conversational point.  There was something strangely bonding about dancing in a room you knew was quiet to the outside world.
