Disco Neurotico is an innovative new club night for people who struggle in traditional club spaces.
Held at The Lowry, with a focus on inclusivity, individuality, and sensory-friendly experiences, Disco Neurotico aims to redefine nightlife for the neurodivergent community and those looking for a safer, less frenetic clubbing experience. Get ready for a night like no other as Disco Neurotico takes over The Lowry on August 31st, 2024.
Conceived by a team of artists who have struggled with anxiety and neurodivergent overwhelm, Disco Neurotico is a night out for people who love the idea of clubbing but struggle with the reality. Gaming as well as DJs will be on offer so there are always things to do – and we start and finish early so attendees can have a full night out but still catch a tram back into town!
Byron Vincent, founder of Disco Neurotico said: “As an ageing raver with diagnoses of ADHD, autism and PTSD, I spent the 90s reaching for the lasers and having panic attacks in the UK’s burgeoning club and festival scenes.
“Neurodivergent people like me often find club spaces overcrowded, unpredictable, claustrophobic and overwhelming. Stressful navigation, few escape routes and fraught interactions contribute to panic, sensory overwhelm and burnout, marring nights out and leaving us exhausted and isolated. However, the FOMO is real, so we either attend and endure or avoid and miss out. With Disco Neurotico, we aim to provide all the joys of clubbing, with none of the drawbacks.”
This event promises to redefine clubbing, not just for the neurodivergent community and those who struggle in public spaces, but for anyone seeking a safer, more inclusive and sensory-friendly nightlife experience. Disco Neurotico is not your average club night; it’s a haven of acceptance and a celebration of individuality.
Hosted at The Lowry, a fully accessible venue, attendees are encouraged to wear whatever they feel comfy in, whether it’s pyjamas, a ball gown, or EastEnders cosplay. The mantra is simple: “You do you.” Disco Neurotico is about creating a space where everyone feels safe, comfortable and entertained, whether you’re attending solo or with friends. We encourage attendees to bring along their own stim toys, plushies, games or whatever else helps you chill.
Disco Neurotico is not just for the neurodivergent though – it’s for anyone who’s turned off by the chaos and bad vibes of your more traditional club event.
