Daytime club party of '90s and '00s dance anthems, trance, old-school rave, jungle and drum & bass, plus uplifting R&B and hip-hop, played by experienced DJs for an over-25s crowd.
Popworld in Reading is hosting a 90s & 00s Dance Anthems Day Party on Saturday 6 March 2027, from 4:00pm to 9:00pm. It's put on by Set U Free Events, who describe it as a daytime clubbing experience built for the generation that lived through dance music's golden years. The whole thing runs for five hours, with last entry at 5:00pm, so you're in and out well before midnight.
The music is the main thing here. The soundtrack mixes the big anthems of the '90s and '00s with hands-in-the-air trance, old-school rave, jungle and drum & bass, and uplifting R&B and hip-hop party records. It's played by experienced DJs who lived the scene, and the organisers promise a proper club atmosphere with confetti moments and a friendly, like-minded crowd. They're also clear about one thing: no cheesy party pop.
There's a specific crowd they're after, though. Entry is restricted to over-25s, and groups made up entirely of under-25s won't be admitted, so it's aimed at people who remember these tracks from when they first came out rather than a younger crowd. If you're in that bracket, it's a chance to get a full club session in during the day.
