The Biggest 90’s-00’s Disco Festival which takes place on June 25th 2022 at Punchestown will attempt to break a world record by building the biggest disco ball in the world. I
Irish company Spectrum Productions has been tasked by the event organisers to build the disco ball that will measure greater than 10.33 metres which is the current world record size that was lifted into the air and rotated at the Bestival Festival in 2014.
So – how big is this disco ball going to be? Think the height of a telephone pole or putting one giraffe on top of another and you are close! Yep, it’s going to be that big and it is currently being built in a warehouse in Dublin.
The festival is back and bigger than ever before, with 15,000 disco fans set to dance across three stages in Kildare this summer.

Meanwhile…
The results are in.
Last week, with two free tickets to the Biggest 90’s-00’s Disco Festival on offer, we asked you to name your favourite DJ from that era.
Yoke-loving reader Micko wins the tickets with this choice:
‘Has 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.’
Well done, Micko and thanks all.

Nice one guys.
10.33 metres ya say?
I am a fan of big balls after all ;p
Good track you picked Micko! Remember it well :)
Enjoy the event!
Cheers Clampers.
Tickets are going to my cuz. She loves this stuff.
She’ll be delighted.
it sort of begs the question ‘what the jaysus do you do with the world’s biggest disco ball after the event?’
i mean, it’s not the kind of thing you can stick in the shed without annoying the missis and i don’t even think there’s a category for it on donedeal..
Micko… If ya do go, see if they do requests.
I heard the Punchestown crowd love a bit of XTC. :-)
