silent disco under the stars 💫
The crew from Lights Out And Dance and Best Silent Disco are thrilled to present the next instalment of our signature community dancing event, Silent Disco Under the Stars.
Dancing on the lands of the Yugambeh peoples, we recognise and respect their continuing connections to the lands and waters, and in doing so commit to extending that respect to caring for country during our event.
Silent Disco Under the Stars is growing into the Gold Coast’s favourite dancing event in which the entire community can come together to share the joy of dancing. With the support of Active and Healthy Gold Coast, we’re beyond proud to bring this unique experience to you and the whole Gold Coast community. 🏖️🎶
With some events seeing more than 200 people joining us these events are a real testament to the power and joy of taking some time to indulge in extraordinary nights of dancing magic.

We understand the importance of providing advance notice in case of cancellation. However, it’s worth noting that Queensland weather can be unpredictable and change rapidly.

Rescheduled Events:
In the event of a postponement, we are committed to rescheduling the event to a later date, typically within a month. The rescheduled date is contingent upon council approval and venue availability, but rest assured as our event is a council-supported event we are able to confirm a new date very quickly.
