“Thank you... Dreams come true”, a delighted Miss Foster tweeted back.
Prior to the 2015 festival, the Silent Disco took part in a giant marquee where DJs would play a mix of chart-toppers and cheesy hits, which revellers would listen to through wireless headphones.
But last year festival goers were left disappointed when Festival Republic removed the Disco from the Festival, which takes place at Bramham Park every August.
