Slip on your dancing shoes and get ready to dance like it’s 2004, as the ultimate early-night jol returns to Cape Town

Whether you’re a Gen-Xer who can’t imagine staying up close to midnight anymore, or a Millennial looking for a party that won’t mess with your morning mindfulness practice, there’s a club night (well, evening really) with your name on it.
If your ideal jol involves dancing like it’s a time when the iPhone hasn’t been invented, and TikTok is just the sound of your morning alarm, this one’s for you: the Bed By 10pm party is coming back to Cape Town.
The concept does exactly what it says on the box.
It’s a club night pitched at the 30+ crowd (although friends 25+ are welcome, we’re told) and built for anyone who wants a proper rave without writing off doing anything productive the next day. Beyond the usual club entertainment, there’s a roster of DJs playing a nostalgia-heavy soundtrack spanning the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. I gotta feeling that you’ll love the vibe and still be in bed early.
It’s all happening at District in District Six, running from 4pm (quit laughing, Gen Z) to 9pm (a few hours before the real clubbers start to arrive), with last entry at 5pm.
And, it’s obviously struck a nerve! The early-phase tickets have long since sold out, and if you were hoping to secure a VIP booth for you and seven friends, I have more bad news: they’re gone too. But the last few tickets (R450pp) are still available if you get there quickly.
Get ready to get down on it and get to bed at a reasonable time, too. Sounds like my idea of a great (not late) night out.
