Leopard Valley
Leopard Valley was born in 2013 when Subnation Stage works came across a hidden gem in a jungle quarry. Overgrown and battered by monsoon, Clint Hale had a vision for the venue and quickly got his partner on board. Together with the owner they shared the vision and set to work making it become a reality………..designing a bespoke stage that would fit in with the look and natural elements of the venue, and then bringing the “famous” columns to their new home. The columns would have a pyrotechnics makeover – each of them shooting fire out the top and creating a spectacular vibe. When the stage was finished it stood 7 meters above the crowd complete with waterfall and its own raised dance floor. Now add lasers, lights, performers, DJ’s and a massive sound system and the dream is coming to life. The philosophy of Subnation Stage works is always ground breaking production and shows, to amaze the crowd and take them into an experience like no other. The Venue can hold 3,000 people, open air under the stars, set way back from the road and villages; it’s a magical location with a very unique atmosphere. Leopold Valley is on the Palolem-Agonda Road, Canacona, Goa. |

There are three regular silent discos in Palolem Beach (as of 2014). These take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during the season, which lasts from November until the end of April – basically until the monsoon season arrives.
Palolem beach is the center of most of the Silent Noise parties happening in Goa. Silent noise means the music or noise is playing only in your individual headphones and not on the common speakers. These are No noise parties with all of the music, sound and noise happening only in your ears without disturbing anyone else.
Here is the protocol of Silent Noise parties: When you enter the bar, you pick up a pair of headphones (for a fee). You can either hit the dance floor or be seated at a table. Either ways, in order to listen to music, all you have to is put on your headphones. When you want to talk to your friend, both of you just have to take off your headphones and talk. Unlike pubs with loud music where it is near difficult to have a conversation, in a headphone party it is quite easy to talk without screaming your guts out. Once you are done talking, put your headphones back on and continue enjoying the music in your ears or head literally speaking.
ALPHA BAR was the one of the first bars n restaurants of Palolem way back in 1982. Now Alpha Bar is the scene of the weekly Silent Noise Party every week on Thursdays. The music is on in your ears all night long from dusk to dawn. During the Silent Disco, only delicious Snacks are served.
