WE PLAY DISCO

More than just a disco revue, We Play Disco is a live DJ set brought to life by 8 of Toronto’s top musicians. With an all-star horn and rhythm section, the show spans classics from Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire, and ABBA, along with hidden gems from Sylvester and Peaches & Herb.
