Day Fever is a groundbreaking daytime disco event series co-founded by British actress Vicky McClure and filmmaker-producer Jonny Owen. Launched in early 2024, the concept brings the energy and atmosphere of a nightclub into the afternoon, designed especially for music lovers aged 30 and above who still love to dance but prefer to be home before midnight.
Vicky McClure, best known for her acclaimed performances in This Is England and Line of Duty, joined forces with her husband Jonny Owen, an accomplished Welsh actor, producer, and writer, to create a new social experience that celebrates music, nostalgia, and connection. Rooted in their shared love for live events and community, Day Fever reflects their passion for bringing people together through great music and positive energy.
What makes Day Fever unique is its inclusive, feel-good atmosphere. Doors open early in the afternoon, with DJs spinning a diverse range of music, including pop, soul, rave, hip hop, and garage. The event’s early finish means attendees can relive the joy of clubbing without the late-night hours. Its debut in Sheffield was a huge success, quickly leading to sold-out events in cities across the UK.
With its fresh take on daytime club culture, Day Fever has become a national phenomenon, attracting thousands of fans who want to dance, laugh, and reconnect. Whether in Nottingham, Sheffield, or Leeds, each event promises a vibrant celebration of music, friendship, and fun, proving that the dance floor truly has no age limit.
