Disco Lives At SLEEPLESS: The Music Center After Hours, The Music Center's Ultimate Late Night Experience

For two nights, Sleepless: The Music Center After Hours (Sleepless) , an immersive multi-sensory event, invites Angelenos to relive the days of Disco and experience the genre's evolution from the cultural explosion of the 70s to Disco's influence on current dance music and aesthetics.

A transformed Dorothy Chandler Pavilion will set the stage for a Disco wonderland where the pulsating beats, ecstatic dancing and indulgent fashion of the 70s serve as the backdrop for larger-than-life art installations; screenings of full-length, Disco-inspired films; a Studio 54-inspired discotheque; and access to the Pavilion's private rooms.
