FAQ
-
Public Disco events offers a variety of music ranging from disco and funk to house. We collaborate with curators from the community to highlight artists from various corners of the local and international music scene. You can anticipate a vibe that's fun, uplifting, and inclusive, fitting for both music heads and those just discovering the local dance music scene.
Free events tend to feature music that’s more easy listening for a wider audience while ticketed events dive a bit deeper into eclectic corners of dance music. -
