At this disco party, you’ll be in control of the music.

Wormtown Brewery and Good Chemistry are teaming up with POW! WOW! Worcester to hold a silent disco, offering a night of entertainment that will benefit public art projects.

Silent discos allow guests to listen to music on wireless headphones rather than listening over a speaker system. On Saturday, March 21 at New Tradition Co., DJs Louie Gonz, Lenny Travis, and Ricky Nelson will spin at the same time, battling it out for the guests’ attention.

The DJs will each have their own channel streaming through the headphones, allowing guests to flip between the three. The headphones light up with a color corresponding to each channel, so attendees will be able to see which DJ other disco-goers are jamming to.

Gonz will be playing hip hop and R&B, Travis will spin house and EDM, and Nelson plans to blast all the best hits from the Dive Bar, the beloved Green Street haunt that closed in the fall.

POW! WOW! is a network of festivals founded in 2011 by Jasper Wong. The festival came to Worcester in 2016 and has since has added dozens of murals and permanent installations, made by local and international artists, to New England’s second-largest city.

Proceeds will benefit the non-profit Squares Squared, Inc., the operators of POW! WOW! Worcester, and will be used on maintenance for existing murals and the development of new artistic and cultural initiatives.

The event is 21-plus and goes from 7 to 11 p.m. at the New Tradition Co. event space at 7 Jackson St. It will feature food from Noms Eatery and Pig Out! Bakery, as well as a bar serving Wormtown brews and wine.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and can be purchased online.
