A Dundee nightclub has launched a daytime disco for over-30s.
Club Tropicana on Ward Road will host Disco Days on Saturday March 2.
But rather than the club event kicking off late at night, and running into the small hours, the disco is taking place between 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
The event promises to offer an “afternoon club experience” featuring a range of hits from the 1970s through to the early noughties.
‘No need to worry about late-night transport’ at Dundee daytime disco
Tickets can be bought online in advance for £6 or at the door for £7.
Clubbers are being urged to “dress to impress”.
A post from Club Tropicana Dundee on Facebook said: “Introducing the daytime discotheque.
“Ditch all the problems of the night and go dancing while there’s still daylight.
“No need to worry about babysitters, late-night transport or not getting a good night’s sleep.”
Reacting to the post, Roddy Hampton said: “That’ll do me.
“In Berlin, day clubbing is becoming more popular than nightclubbing; people go out, have a great time, have some food then up the road.”
Janet Walker posted: “Need to throw some 90s classics in the mix.”
Nightclub owner ‘pleasantly surprised’ by response
Tony Cochrane, owner of the nightclub said: “It something we’ve talked about since the middle of last year when we did events that attracted 30+ to our venue,
“We find they come early and by 1am they’d start leaving and the younger ones would come sauntering in.
“We realised at a certain age people don’t want to be out until 3am and they want to get back at a reasonable time.
“The number of likes and comments is unbelievable and has taken us pleasantly by surprise.
“We realise someone in the 30s won’t listen to 70s and 80s so we’ll throw in other stuff – we’re going to change that policy.”
Similar events have been held elsewhere in the UK, including a daytime club event launched by actress Vicky McClure and her husband Jonny Owen.
