An afternoon day party recreating 80s soul weekender vibes with Soul, Jazz funk, and Disco music at the seafront Horizon Nightclub.
On Saturday, March 7, 2026, the Horizon Nightclub on Brighton’s seafront will be the site for Soul Daze, an afternoon event dedicated to the sounds of the 1980s. This session is modeled after the soul weekenders that were a staple of that decade, focusing on a blend of Soul, Jazz funk, and Disco. The party starts at 15:00 and wraps up by 20:00, offering a daytime alternative to the city's usual late-night clubbing scene. Located at the Kings Road Arches, the venue provides a setting with updated audio and lighting setups to support the specific acoustics of these genres, which are often best appreciated through high-quality systems.

The music is the central component of the afternoon, featuring a repertoire that includes anthems from Chic, the Fatback Band, Kool & The Gang, and Luther Vandross. To maintain the authenticity of the 80s vibe, the organizers, 'Back in the Day', have programmed DJs who were part of the original scene. This choice of lineup is intended to reflect the genuine spirit of the era's dance floors without relying on modern remixes. Because the event concludes early in the evening, there is a strict policy regarding arrival times, with the doors closing to new entrants at 17:00. This allows for a full five hours of music within a timeframe that doesn't stretch into the early hours of the morning.
Regarding access, Soul Daze has a clear age restriction, admitting only those over 30. While the minimum age is set there, the event often draws a crowd in their 40s and 50s who are familiar with the original soul weekender culture and are looking for that specific nostalgic environment. Tickets are currently distributed through platforms such as Skiddle, Eventbrite, and Fatsoma, with prices ranging from £16 to £23 plus management fees. Some pre-sale tickets have been noted at £17.85. It’s a structured event for those looking for a specific musical focus within a daytime window, right in the heart of Brighton’s coastal club district, making use of a space that is well-known to locals for its history on the beach.
