A ‘disco for grown ups’ party is coming to Manchester this year

It even finishes nice and early.

Thomas Melia - 25th March 2025

A disco party for ‘grown ups’, centred around 70s, 80s and 90s music, is making its way to Manchester this year.

The wildly popular Discos for Grown Ups will be heading to town in May, encouraging some serious boogie action with its playlist of soul, disco, pop and dancefloor from across the decades.

The night out has been created for those who feel ‘too old to go clubbing, but still love to dance’, with people your own age, and with a sensibly early finish time.

When the night is still young but you might not be, you can let loose under a light and laser show featuring the fabulous Discos for Grown Ups stage dancers.

Whether you’re a ‘Material Girl’ who craves the spotlight or or a shy dancer who comes out of their shell after catching a case of ‘Night Fever’, this night will be spoiling you with its array of tracks.

Discos for Grown Ups was founded by Simon Stanford after discovering there was nowhere for a ‘grown up’ to go that played the music he loved.

This organisation started as a weekly online disco during lockdown and has now expanded to venues up and down the country including arenas, ballrooms, theatres and more.

Simon Stanford from Discos for Grown Ups says: “We are really looking forward to bringing our Discos for Grown Ups 70’s 80’s 90’s Disco Party back to the O2 Ritz Manchester this year.

“Our first show was an incredible night of dancing and sold out very quickly, so we can’t wait to bring our full production with dancers, lights and lasers back – it’s going to be another amazing night of boogie!”

The night is still young as Discos for Grown Ups is bringing their themed disco party to O2 Ritz Manchester this year. — Expect a night of fun-filled dancefloor bangers spanning three golden decades of music.

After 150 sold-out shows across the UK last year, Discos for Grown Ups is heading back to the O2 Ritz in Manchester on Saturday 31 May from 6.45pm.
