Further information about the event
Strictly speaking, there is no set dress code – the main thing is that you feel comfortable. However, you are of course welcome to bring out your most dazzling flared trousers or your most colorful sequined dress to match the occasion. The event is suitable for guests aged 18 and over and has already proven to be a worldwide hit for groups of friends or hen parties. Doors usually open around 30 minutes before the start and the music starts around an hour after admission, so you can arrive relaxed and head to the dance floor with a drink in your hand.
From ABBA to the Bee Gees: the sound of disco music
Originating from a mixture of funk, soul and R&B music in the late 60s, disco revolutionized the club scene with groovy synthesizers, driving rhythms and the famous “four-on-the-floor” beat coined by Earl Young. Over time, disco became much more than just a music genre: it developed into a cultural movement that brought different communities together and still stands for freedom, lightness and joie de vivre today. Artists such as ABBA and the Bee Gees delivered some of the biggest disco hits of all time and influenced the music scene with songs such as “Stayin’ Alive” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” influenced entire generations.
