Camden’s Electric Ballroom will host London’s first-ever ‘indie sleaze’ themed daytime club event, Daytime for Heroes, on June 22. The event will run from 3 pm to 8 pm and will have DJs from Club NME, Panic!, and Transmission performing. Bloody Awful Poetry and Alexandra Palace will also have their respective DJs performing at the event.
The event promises to be the ultimate place for lovers of 2000s indie. DJs Jeff Automatic, Kier BAP, and Mark Beaumont will be playing hits from famous rock bands such as The Strokes, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Libertines. Tickets are already on sale, and music lovers can purchase them via here.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mark Beaumont said, “We’ve been getting into day clubbing over recent months and really enjoying it. It’s amazing to find these wild parties going on in the middle of the afternoon, and they finish up in time to go on to a gig, have a buzzy night in the pub or get an early night. Everybody’s there to dance and you’re never too old for it. London’s indie sleazers, and the sleaze-curious, deserve their own party way before the sun goes down.”
Daytime clubbing has surged in popularity recently. For instance, Annie Mac’s ‘Before Midnight’ club nights, which was launched in 2022 and dedicated to “people who sleep,” has been a high-profile event. Event attendees can enjoy music from 7 pm to midnight. Day Fever is another famous daytime disco that plays the best chart music “from 1955 to the turn of the century.” The disco is co-hosted by Reverend & The Makers’ Jon McClure, filmmaker Jonny Owen, and Line of Duty star Vicky McClure.
Finally, daytime clubbing has been beneficial to struggling venues. Jonny Owen, one of the co-hosts of Day Fever, said, “It breaks my heart to see so many venues closing or struggling. Venues across the country are contacting us about hosting Day Fever, as they’re currently closed during the day. That’s great if we can help, because venues are important to the social fabric of every town they’re in.”
