\n With more towns joining the waiting list to join the tour, the York date will be from Saturday 14 February at York Barbican, from 3pm until 8pm.\n<\/p>\n

\n DAY FEVER founders, L-R, Jon McClure, James O’Hara, Jonny Owen, Vicky McClure and Chris McClure.\n<\/p>\n
\n From its debut in Sheffield\u2019s City Hall Ballroom to a tour, Day Fever has seen thousands around the UK hit the dancefloor each month.\n<\/p>\n
\n The organisers say the message is clear: people everywhere are craving a space to let loose, laugh, and dance, all before 8pm.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt started as a WhatsApp idea,\u201d said Jon McClure. \u201cJonny just said, \u2018A daytime disco, how good would that be?\u2019 We\u2019re all a bit nuts, so we just said, \u2018Come on then!\u2019\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Vicky said: \u201cIt feels like a massive house party at your nan\u2019s. No drama, no egos, just people acting daft, getting dressed up, and having the best time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n They say there\u2019s no dress code, no pressure, and the hangover is optional – ‘just wall-to-wall feel-good tunes and an open invitation to dance like nobody\u2019s watching’.\n<\/p>\n
\n Every Day Fever event has its own flavour. Local DJs who know their crowds keep the energy high with a nostalgic mix of Northern Soul, disco, indie, and 90s classics.\n<\/p>\n
\n Jon said: \u201cManchester goes mad for Oasis and if Vicky\u2019s there, we have to play Whitney, it\u2019s non-negotiable!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Day Fever will be at York Barbican on Saturday 14 February\n<\/p>\n
\n Venues are also reaping the rewards from Day Fever too.\n<\/p>\n
\n Vicky said: \u201cClubs double their takings. We\u2019re out by 8pm, and then they\u2019ve got a full night to run. It\u2019s been a game-changer.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n And it\u2019s striking a chord beyond the dancefloor.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had people in remission, people grieving, people celebrating life,\u201d said Jon. \u201cIt\u2019s mothers and daughters, old mates, and whole families dancing together. That\u2019s powerful.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n He added: \u201cIt\u2019s like a wedding party where everyone actually wants to be there, and that\u2019s magic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
