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.
