Open Air Disco
Dance under the sky at Open Air Disco in [Queens Park]() — feel-good grooves, community vibes & sunset magic.
**What to expect**
Open Air Disco is a joyful outdoor dance gathering at [Queens Park](), designed for music lovers who want to move, connect, and enjoy great tunes in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Expect an uplifting soundtrack of disco, soul, funky classics and feel-good grooves — the kind of music that keeps you dancing without pressure or pretence. This isn’t a hard nightclub vibe; it’s a friendly, community-focused atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Bring a picnic rug, bring friends (or come solo and meet new ones), enjoy the park setting, and let the music carry you from chilled afternoon energy into a vibrant open-air dancefloor.
Whether you stay for an hour or the whole session, Open Air Disco is about simple things done well: good music, open skies, and shared moments on the dancefloor.
DJ SLD curates crate digging, genre-blending, groove-driven, non-mainstream sets.
A Melbourne based DJ with over 30 years of experience behind the decks, he is dedicated to all things funky — where classic records meet modern reworks, warped edits meet timeless vocals, and every mix is built to create atmosphere, not just noise. Expect smooth transitions, slow jams, late-night energy, and a playful touch of personality woven through sophisticated, dancefloor-ready selections.
