America's first, largest and most experienced silent disco provider
Silent Events Inc. is a cutting-edge production company specializing in Silent Discos and other wireless headphone events. From Silent Raves in Maui, Silent Rooftop Parties in New York City and the Silent Disco at Bonnaroo, Silent Events is the company that makes it all happen.
At a Silent Event, rather than using a traditional speaker system, live music is broadcasted and picked up by specially designed wireless headphones worn by the audience. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people dancing to silence. People watching is half the fun! This concept first appeared in America in 2005 at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Ryan Dowd, owner of Silent Events Inc., was put in charge of running the Silent Disco and due to his resounding success he has been brought back year after year to produce what is being called “the most exciting attraction of Bonnaroo”.
Before starting Silent Events, Dowd worked in the music industry for over a decade. The experience in management, lighting, sound and production he gained while working for bands and agencies has been instrumental in shaping the production behind Silent Events. We take a lot of pride in our hands-on approach and always strive to provide our clients with the highest quality Silent Event possible. This is what sets us apart from other companies.
From Maui to Manhattan, Miami to Maine, Silent Events has traveled all across this great country of ours bringing the Silent Revolution to America. Silent Events has been a part of some of the biggest music festivals on the planet. We have thrown Silent Events at: Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Essence Music Festival, Camp Bisco, Treasure Island Music Festival, Left Coast Live, Kahbang Music and Arts Festival, Ghost Ship Halloween, Vegoose, North Coast Music Festival, Rootwire, Dexfest, Source Interactive Arts and Music Festival, Traverse City Summer Microbrew and Music Festival, Celebrate Fairfax, Bella Music Festival, Amberland, Sea of Dreams, Fort Collins Music Festival, Jam Cruise and Bear Creek Music Festival.
We have even produced silent tours across America. Our bilingual tour with Coca-Cola in conjunction with the 2011 Concacaf Gold Cup received rave reviews. And our 17 date “Silent Soundclash Tour” was America’s first Silent Disco club tour. We have also produced events in such unique locations as: the beaches of Hawaii, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, rooftops in Manhattan, the Denver Zoo, airport terminals, Miami’s South Beach, the VIP backstage area at a Widespread Panic show, Scratch Academy, a live concert with Perpetual Groove, Silent SXSW at The Enchanted Forest in Austin, TX. We even threw a USA Network Television premiere party for “Necessary Roughness” in the middle of Times Square!!!

In addition, Silent Events is the exclusive Silent Disco provider for universities in America. We founded the “University of Silent Disco” to specialize in producing on-campus Silent Discos. We have brought the Silent Disco experience to universities such as: Vanderbilt University, Louisiana State University, John Carroll University, Roger Williams University, Oglethorpe University, North Carolina State University, The College of Saint Rose, Middle Tennessee State University, Loyola Marymount University, East Tennessee State University, Dickinson College and the University of Texas – Dallas.
Our customized, state-of-the-art wireless headphones and transmitters are extremely durable, have long-range reception and produce crystal-clear sound. The headphones offer transcendent comfort, are lightweight and feature an innovative, sleek design. Our headphones contain three separate channels, giving you the option of three DJs or bands playing simultaneously. A popular way to utilize the multiple channels is to have a DJ spin-off. During a spin-off, two or three DJs play at one time. The audience can switch between the DJs and listen to the music they like best. At the end of the event, the audience votes on who the “Winner” of the spin-off is. By having multiple DJs spinning at once, people are able to choose the type of music they like best. This ability to provide various types of music can increase the demographic of your event. Silent Events is able to accommodate needs as small as 25 pairs of headphones for special VIP/Artists areas all the way up to 1,500 headphones at a time. (The number of headphones ordered will determine the number of Silent Events staff required.)
Since Silent Events was conceived we have been bringing the silent revolution to the people. Locations and uses of our technology are only hindered by your creativity. Make your next event truly stand out from the rest with Silent Events Inc.
