Following the unprecedented success of previous ‘Biggest Disco’ events around UK and Ireland, the Biggest 90’s – 00’s Disco comes to Punchestown Racecourse on 25th June, 2022 from 2pm – 12.30am…with 15,000 disco fans set to dance across three stages in Kildare this summer.
This event marks the Biggest Disco’s first festival since 2019 and will feature some of the biggest acts of the 1990s and 00s including Maxi Jazz (Faithless), Basshunter, Vengaboys, Gala, Paul Oakenfold and many more, guaranteeing ticket holders over ten hours of nostalgic fun.
Fans can expect an immersive experience featuring flash mobs, confetti, fire, CO2 jets, drone shows, fireworks, and many more surprises as over 40 acts from the 90’s and 00’s take to the stage
To celebrate the return of The Biggest Disco we have two (yes, TWO!) tickets to give away.
To enter, simply share who your favourite DJ from the 90s or OOs is and why.
Lines Must close at 2.45pm 10.45pm 5am (we’re going through the night!).

Absolutely dreadful. Why not organise a decent festival with contemporary electronic acts?
2 Unlimited cost too much.
Yeah, no real rave scene acts on there
Outhere Brothers, oh yes. Boom boom boom, now let me hear you say way-ooh.
I’m not old enough soz ….
Pablo Gargano!
Bow bow bow chi bow bow bow…..

Larry Gogan
Everyone in Ireland knew his voice and never turned him down
Or off
He didn’t have to work at being a DJ
He just was
He never tried to be too cool or too clever
and was never a Montrose lovie
And oddly enough was a brilliant interviewer btw
As laid back and comfortable as Wogan, but somehow managed to extract far more details from the guest, Larry Gogan was far less giddy I suppose
but all that work was set aside for the Radio 1 to Studio 1 personality / performer ranks in RTE
Only one winner here
And to make the case even more solid
If Larry was still with us
He’s know every track that gets played, and where the band came from
In fact, I’d say he’d even fill one of the stages/ tents at it himself
La Belle E-pocalypse…
Tim Westwood.
He’ll take that rap anywhere.
Doesn’t look like anyone wants these tickets with a front row seat to witness sadness descending.. I think those acts are best kept for 30 minutes of bouncing around the kitchen table over Christmas..
Well just for that… CC. Tis not easy to put on a show ye know ;-)
I would LOVE the tickets!
Favourite 90’s DJ you ask?
Have to be the late Robert Miles.
His track ‘Children’ pretty much shaped my first year in college in ’95
Was everywhere at the time, couldn’t help be hooked by it.*

I met Robert Miles in Ibiza. He was a truly lovely man and it was my pleasure to meet him. He was very involved in his White Isle radio station. Oakenfold, who I see will also be spinning some tunes, produced all his best work. I wouldn’t go to a trance festival either, even if in principle I’d like the idea, the reality wouldn’t work. But, you’re right, it’s mighty hard to produce any show and the organisers should be commended. Reliving the past isn’t for me. That said, I did go see the Specials and that was amazing. I think they might be post, post post though, which makes it a different thing. Best of luck…
Ah sure I was only messin with ya Cu.
My cousin would love these tickets though, she’s mad for this kinda thing. ;-)
Nice to hear Robert was a good bloke. Gone far too young.
Broadsheet in the news:
Irish Man Will Literally Support Anything That’s Not Mainstream
“WATERFORD contrarian Ian McManning is considering joining a public demonstration in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in Dublin later this month, in a testament to how far he’ll go.”

Fair play to him
He won’t be on his own..!
Haha! That is exactly what I imagine SOQ looks like.
(Out of shot: Pyjama bottoms)
Terribly uncool to like the Vengaboys of course but I do.
A great tune from the 90s is Nalin and Kane, Beachball. Some might call it a classic.

“If it’s HipHop RnB, don’t miss me Tony D”. Absolutely adored listening to this guy’s selection on fm104 everything from gospel to rap. I understand he passed away recently, rest in peace”
And DJ Nick Kelly.
