India Is Having Its First Ever Silent Concert At Qla In Delhi On New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve in loud public spaces is the reason some of us prefer a quiet night in or just a house party. The excessive people, the genre of music, not everything would be according to everyone’s taste. What if we told you about a party where you can choose the music you want? A place where everyone can choose their own music, without facing backlash from the boo-ers; a place where you can party with the whole crowd on your music; and a place where there’s no noise. You can shut the music off, have a conversation and get the music back up again whenever you like. No, we’re not just teasing. India’s first silent concert by SilentOwl is taking over one of Delhi’s best restaurants, Qla in Mehrauli on December 31. 

What Is It?

A silent concert is where everyone gets a pair of wireless headphones that have the sound capable of transporting you to Never Never Land. When you’re wearing them, the world fades away and the only thing that exists is you and your favourite music. You can choose you vibe this New Year’s Eve instead of settling for popular demand. At 863 MHz Silent Countdown 2020, you can choose from 3 stations playing Techno on Channel 1, EDM on Channel 2 and Bollywood and Punjabi on Channel 3. You can switch among these as per your mood and order a drink or some food without screaming. As soon as your ears want a break, you can just take the headphones off and the music will stop. Isn’t that a dream: a New Year’s Eve party where you’re in control so you can truly let loose and never have a bad trip.
