Detour Discotheque, a unique event bringing party atmosphere to remote parts of the globe, will hold this year’s event on the Isle of Coll in the west of Scotland. Tickets for the event, which will take place on Friday 22 and Saturday 23 September, are on sale now.

With just 200 inhabitants and few streetlights, Coll is one of the UK’s only official ‘dark-sky communities’ and, in keeping with the island’s small population, the event will welcome only 250 guests to enjoy a party themed after New York City nightclubs of the 1970s. 

Confirmed performers include futuristic producer and world music champion Auntie Flo and euphoric Glasgow synth band Free Love, with more to be announced. Detour Discotheque resident DJs will be spinning classic records, from Chic to Grace Jones to Fela Kuti.

Organiser Jonny Ensall said, ‘Detour Discotheque is back for another spellbinding weekend. The event is a wormhole that opens in unexpected places around planet Earth, and this year that cosmic phenomenon is happening on Coll – a tiny Scottish island famous for its star-filled skies. It’s all about community – bringing disco-lovers and Coll residents together for two nights of unabashed joy, amid plenty of stunning nature and with the Milky Way to admire above us.’

Tickets prices for Detour Disco start from £80, with a significant discount for permanent residents of Coll.
