Dreamworx are holding the ultimate New Year’s Day party at Digital in Newcastle, and it’s set to kick off at the fashionably early time of 2pm. Fancy that!

The clubbing in the afternoon thing looks set to gather apace into 2025 and that’s very evident on day one with this all-day dance party at Digital. It’s coming courtesy of Dreamworx, specialists in those all-important high-energy clubbing experiences, and they will be hitting first footers up with eight hours of non-stop euphoric beats. The legendary Ian Van Dahl (pictured) is set to headline and he’ll be joined by the iconic Friday Night Posse, alongside Dreamworx residents. Also in the mix will be fire eaters, angle grinder performances, and an array of dancers. Oh – and the whole thing is for over 25s only, which means I – ahem! – just make the cut…
