For those who still party like it’s 1999… but need to be in bed by 10. 🕺😴
Are you over 30? Do you still fancy a wild night out but can’t hack the 2am kebab queue anymore? Same, butt. That’s why Chris Moyles is bringing a daytime party revolution to Swansea on September 13th — and we are SO HERE for it. 💃🔥
Say hello to Back In The Daytime, the ultimate throwback rave that gets you sweaty and nostalgic without sacrificing your beauty sleep. Hosted by radio royalty Chris Moyles, this is a six-hour, sunlit, sound-soaked knees-up for grown-ups who still know how to go large… just before dark.
💾 Ultimate Throwback Vibes: 80s, 90s & Everything in Between
Dust off your platform trainers, iron that Take That tee, and prepare to relive your youth on the dance floor! With DJs spinning the biggest 80s & 90s bangers, this party’s like stepping into a time warp — without needing a TARDIS.
Expect:
🎧 Non-stop floor-fillers from Wham! to Britney 🕺 Proper throwback sets that’ll make you scream “TUNE!” 🎉 Confetti, surprises, and maybe even a cheeky Macarena moment (don’t lie, you still know the moves) 💃 A crowd of absolute legends all living their best life before bedtime
🎤 Chris Moyles: Radio Icon, Party King, Absolute Daft Legend
Let’s not beat around the bush — Chris Moyles is a UK radio icon. The man’s voice practically raised a generation, and now he’s taking those big-time DJ skills out of the studio and onto the stage.
Expect:
Banter galore 😏 “I can’t believe he played that” tune drops On-the-mic chaos Nostalgia-fuelled madness from a bloke who knows exactly what makes us dance like no one’s watching
Honestly, Moyles could read the phonebook over Rhythm of the Night and we’d still lose it.
🌞 Daytime Clubbing: The Movement We Didn’t Know We Needed
Let’s be real — clubbing after 10PM is a young person’s game. We’ve all been there. Now it’s time for something better: club vibes in the daylight, and still home in time for Match of the Day or a cheeky bath bomb.
This is not some sleepy garden party. Nah. This is:
Full lighting rig Dancefloor mayhem Drinks flowing Tunes pumping from 3PM to 9PM
Perfect for the ravers who want to party hard without feeling like a corpse at brunch the next day. No hangover doomscrolling required.
🏴 Partying in Swansea? You Beaut!
Patti Pavilion is a Swansea staple. Gorgeous venue, seaside breeze, and plenty of space to throw shapes like it’s 1995. There’s a bar, comfy loos (a luxury, let’s be honest), and it’s right by the bay — ideal for a post-dance cool down.
Bonus:
Pre-drinks on the beach? Don’t mind if we do. Afterparty in Wind Street? Only if the knees can take it. A little post-rave walk to Joe’s Ice Cream? Lush.
Only in Wales, mun.
🎉 Surprises, DJs & Chaos Incoming
Aside from Moyles himself, there’ll be:
Guest DJs (announced soon!) Massive throwback visuals Rumours of retro outfit prizes (time to dig out those glow sticks) Possibly even a Boyzone vs Steps lip-sync battle. No promises. But we can dream.
They’ve said “lots more surprises” — and knowing Moyles, we’re expecting something wild. Foam cannon? Glitter rain? A random Craig David drop-in? WHO KNOWS. Just be ready.
🎟️ Tickets Are Flying Out Like It’s 1996
🚨 SERIOUSLY – THIS WILL SELL OUT. 🚨
Early bird tickets? Gone. Super early bird? Vanished.
There are still standard and final release tickets available — but not for long. Don’t be the muppet scrolling Insta the next day saying “Wish I went to that.”

This is more than just a gig — it’s a daytime revolution, butt. Grab your mates, sort your outfit, and come party like your 90s self without the three-day hangover. This is how we do it now, and it’s bloody glorious.

Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
