Fun and music doesn't stop at Barcelona's socially-distanced silent disco

Since the COVID-19 pandemic happened, clubs or parties have been restricted in order to avoid the transmission of the virus.

While many ravers missed the life of the party, this brilliant idea born in Barcelona gives partying and raving a new take, which is by taking the party outside at an open space, with partygoers keeping social distance from each other.

Last Sunday, March 21, ravers in Barcelona, Spain have taken the party life by holding an outdoor silent disco. People welcomed the new season of spring wearing headphones whilst partying at the Mar Bella beach along Barcelona's well-known seafront, while of course, following social distancing regulations.

The Tribu Silent Disco, which started from a fun and interesting meetup between friends, has turned into a regular Sunday morning event. A report by Reuters says one even took place at the famous Magic Fountain in the neighborhood of Montjuic.

According to Xavi Panella, the co-founder of Silent Disco, the idea of an outdoor silent disco bloomed from the question of how they could boost dancing now that there are so many restrictions imposed upon their country.

"And we had the idea to do it outdoors and with headphones," Panella told Reuters.

He also added that the event first revolved around friends and acquaintances, then people, later on, joined because it was done outdoors and in Spain's beautiful places where they don't bother anyone, and make sure that they maintain a safe distance.
