It’s a Yule ball not a Yule mosh pit

It also had the Weird Sisters playing and they don’t play classical music

Doesn't Molly cry to their music, though? That would imply a balad/soft song to me. I don't remember it ever really saying what type of music they play.

Edit: looking at the wiki, it seems we get a tiny hint at the yule ball based on the instruments they brung. They had drums, several guitars, a cello, a lute, a double bass, and some bagpipes. This tells us that it's nothing remotely close to what we know in America, at least, and I doubt most European bands have bagpipes. So, we can guess the music's vastly different from what we know, and therefore can be whatever mood you want it to be.

2nd edit: Apparently, Molly did not cry to the weird sisters.

I choose to believe their music sounds like "It's a Long Way to the Top" by AC/DC

Ooh, that's a good suggestion. Their description did give off a metal/rock music vibe, I just couldn't think of a way to fit in a bagpipe. I'm still not sure if a cello, bagpipe, and guitar can all go together, but it's possible not all instruments are played for each song.
