Silent Events will be hosting a brand new experience at Amberland this year - "Imagine a band tears it up onstage, the musicians spin the crowd into frenzy and the only way you can hear it is with our specifically tailored, wireless headphones. The state of the art headphones, an audiophile’s dream, offer transcendent comfort, light weight, and an innovative sleek design to enhance the euphoria while receiving the sharpest and clearest sound possible directly from the source." Headphones will be available for rental with a valid I.D. and $10.00 to participate in the late night shenanigans, including a special late night set from Perpetual Groove!
