Annie Mac is launching a new club night called Before Midnight that will take place, well, you know, before midnight, so you can all be fast asleep in bed by 1am at the very very very latest.
And while this was all formally announced on social media in among everyone's April Fool posts on Friday morning, Mac's new venture is no joke, and is based on the almost certainly accurate premise that there are people out there who like clubbing but who don't particularly like the super late nights that many clubbing experiences involve.
Explaining the rationale for Before Midnight, Mac said: “I know there’s an appetite for it because I’ve had so many messages from you who’ve grown up with me and listened to me on the radio every Friday night, who adore the clubbing experience but don’t want to wait until 1am to see me play, who need to be sharp and useful at the weekends and just can’t afford sleepless nights".
She added: “Before Midnight is a chance for me to play long DJ sets with all my favourite records, those ones that spark joy, and a chance for you to have all the fun, the euphoria and the wild abandon you need and STILL get a good night’s sleep".
The first edition of Before Midnight will take place at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on 20 May with Mac on the decks supported by Melle Brown. Tickets go on sale on 9 Apr.
