Jingle Bell Throwback - 80s vs 90s DJ Battle
Two DJs. Two decades. One very loud opinion.
This night is exactly what it says on the tin.
One DJ flies the flag for the 80s.
The other defends the 90s.
And all night long… you decide who wins.
One minute you’re throwing your arms up to Don’t Stop Believin’, the next you’re straight into Rhythm Is a Dancer, shouting Everybody… yeah! and wondering how you suddenly know every word to a song you haven’t heard in years.
From 80s pop icons and sing-along rock to 90s club anthems, R&B favourites and throwback chart classics — this DJ battle jumps between decades all night long and keeps the energy high right through to the last track.
It’s perfect if your group can never agree on the music… because tonight, you get both.
Fancy Dress Encouraged – Casual Cool or Full Throwback
This night is all about easy, fun nostalgia. You choose if you want to dress team 80s or team 90s (or team Christmas if you've bought some new sparkles). Break out your favourite decade staples – think leg warmers, headbands and vintage pop tees for the 80s, or denim jackets, crop tops and rave-ready looks for the 90s. You can go all-out or keep it relaxed, but either way your outfit will instantly set the tone for the night. Prizes to be won for best fancy dress on the night.
