AT THIS ANNOYANCE RESIDENCY SHOW…
The Annoyance presents Disco Demolition Night!

On July 12, 1979, an ill-fated radio promotion turned Comiskey Park into the largest anti-Disco rally in the history of mankind. Explosive shock jock Steve Dahl filled the stadium beyond capacity with his “anti-disco army,” comprised mostly of the beer-swilling and grass-smoking teens who listened to his radio show and wanted to see some disco records detonated. Anyway, things got violent.
