Life is too short to save the dancing for after dark. So Day Fever are coming to the Ulster Hall on 28 February 2026!
Forget feeling like your clubbing days are behind you, DAY FEVER is proving that the party is just getting started. What began as a spark of an idea among friends has turned into a full-blown national movement, and after a record-breaking September, the good times are rolling right through into 2026. The UK’s favourite daytime disco promise all the usual joy, dancing and daftness fans have come to expect.
Launched in early 2024 by actress Vicky McClure (Line of Duty, This is England), filmmaker and broadcaster Jonny Owen, Jon McClure (frontman of Reverend & The Makers), his brother Chris McClure, and Sheffield businessman James O’Hara, DAY FEVER has fast become a cultural sensation. From its debut in Sheffield’s City Hall Ballroom to a nationwide tour that sees thousands hit the dancefloor each month, the message remains the same: people everywhere are craving a space to let loose, laugh, and dance, all before 8pm.
“It started as a WhatsApp idea,” says Jon McClure. “Jonny just said, ‘A daytime disco, how good would that be?’ We’re all a bit nuts, so we just said, ‘Come on then!’”
And it’s not just the crowds that are growing, it’s the spirit of the thing. “It feels like a massive house party at your nan’s,” laughs Vicky. “No drama, no egos, just people acting daft, getting dressed up, and having the best time.”
Running from 3pm to 8pm, Day Fever offers the perfect balance: a proper night out that doesn’t wreck your weekend. There’s no dress code, no pressure, and the hangover is optional; just wall-to-wall feel-good tunes and an open invitation to dance like nobody’s watching...
