Here is how it works: collect a headset at the Ballroom doors, flip between three live DJ channels (house, throwbacks, absolute chaos), and watch the room change colour with the channel. Red side sings along; blue side is deep in it; green side is up to something.
Headsets are included with every ticket tier — Standard included — and need no booking. Just bring ID for the headset deposit, which is refunded in full when you hand it back. Lost headsets cost $40, and yes, people dance out of range every year. Stay in the room.
Red sings along, blue is deep in it, green is up to something.
New this year: a quiet fourth channel from 02:00 for the comedown crowd, broadcasting the live Ballroom ambience mixed with ambient records. The mirrors stay, the lights go low, and the weekend exhales.
