Actress Vicky McClure and her husband, producer Jonny Owen, are marking a significant milestone for their innovative club night, Day Fever, by announcing a full slate of new dates for 2026. The couple is celebrating the event's second anniversary with an expanded tour across the UK and Ireland, reinforcing its status as a daytime disco phenomenon.
What is Day Fever?
Launched in late 2023, Day Fever offers a unique twist on the classic night out. Designed specifically for attendees aged 30 and over, the events transform afternoon and early evening hours into a vibrant, energetic dance club experience. The concept allows partygoers to enjoy a full-scale night out with great music and atmosphere, all while guaranteeing an early finish and no late-night hassle.
The formula has proven a runaway success, with events consistently selling out nationwide and cultivating a dedicated community of daytime revellers. The atmosphere is noted for being particularly welcoming and inclusive, attracting crowds of up to 1,800 people per event.
A Homecoming in Nottingham
The city of Nottingham holds special significance for the venture. As McClure's hometown and a key location for Owen's work, the city has been central to Day Fever's journey. Earlier this year, the iconic Rock City venue was declared the event's "new home," hosting some of its largest and most successful parties to date.
The couple, who married in 2023, continue to champion Nottingham through projects like this, embedding the city firmly in the Day Fever story. The 2026 tour includes not one, but two stops in Nottingham, including a special New Year's Eve celebration.
