New dates for Vicky McClure's Day Fever in Nottingham announced - how to get tickets
New dates for Day Fever in Nottingham have been announced - much to the joy of fans of the event who missed out during the first round of tickets.
The daytime disco brings a nightclub experience held during the afternoon to cities across the UK and Ireland. Run by Vicky McClure and her husband Jonny Owen, what started as a one-off event in Sheffield has become a nationwide celebration that lets people dance the day away without ruining their Sunday.
The event was hugely popular this year and tickets for January and February sold out fast, leading to more dates being released. Nottingham ravers are in luck - although the February 1 event has sold out, there are still tickets available for the April 19 party at Rock City and the one on March 15 at Nottingham Palais.
McClure said that travelling up and down the country with the music event had been “such a joy”. She said: “We’re thrilled that people feel comfortable at Day Fever. Hearing their stories has shown us how important it is to just take a break from life and have a bloody good dance!”
For tickets, head to the Day Fever website, where you can select the event you want to attend (if it is not already sold out) and sign up for tickets. Prices vary slightly depending on location, but last year’s Rock City event cost £10 per person. The events usually begin at 3pm and end at 8pm.
The actress and presenter, 41, Nottingham born and bred and attended the city’s Central Junior Television Workshop. She had a tram named after her in 2015 by Nottingham Express Transit and has been awarded an honorary Doctorate of Letters by the University of Nottingham as well as an honorary Doctorate of Arts by Nottingham Trent.
Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live early last year, Owen, a filmmaker, said the events had been “joyous occasions” and people had a great time. “We just play the greatest music of the 20th century. That's the only way I can describe it,” he said. “We play all the hits. It sounds cheesy but you can leave all your troubles at the door."
He explained that the couple had a rivalry when it came to the party’s venues: “Vicky wants to be in charge of Nottingham because it's her city. It's quite funny actually because it's become quite competitive. Cardiff sold out in a few hours, which is my home city, with a one-and-a-half-thousand capacity, and so did London with the same."
