Daytime clubbing aimed at over-30s audiences is becoming increasingly popular
Over 30s event taking place at KU
Stockton is set for a return of one of its most popular daytime events this weekend for over 30s. Day Tripper is bringing its indie disco back to KU on Saturday, March 28.
After a hugely successful debut year in 2025, the event has quickly become part of a growing trend across the UK – daytime clubbing experiences designed for music fans who want to relive their favourite anthems without sacrificing their entire weekend.
Running from 3pm until 8pm, indie and Britpop classics will be pounding through the speakers across three rooms, before giving people the chance to head home, out for food, or into town for the evening.
The event is centred around the music that defined a generation, with one room dedicated to classic tracks up to the end of the 90s, while a second room focuses on noughties favourites and modern indie hits. Together, they create a soundtrack that spans everything from Blur, Oasis and The Smiths through to Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and Sam Fender.
KU-raoke, a live band karaoke experience, is also set to return and will take place in The Social Room upstairs. Back by what organisers describe as “massive demand”, the feature invites attendees to step up and front a full live band, choosing from a setlist of more than 200 songs. From indie classics to karaoke favourites, it’s become a highlight of the event and one of the most talked-about moments from previous editions.
A spokesperson for the event said: “The response to Day Tripper since we launched it last year has been incredible. People have really taken to the idea of being able to go out, hear the music they grew up with, and still have the rest of their weekend ahead of them.
“The KU-raoke has been a massive hit as well – there’s something special about seeing people get up with a live band and just go for it. It creates a brilliant atmosphere and makes every event feel different.”
The event forms part of a wider movement that’s been gaining traction across the country, with daytime clubbing aimed at over-30s audiences becoming increasingly popular in cities across the UK.
