The dance party that’s taken the party world by storm is coming to Philly, bringing a whole new twist to the city’s social scene. The Matinee Dance Party merges retro beats and a high-energy vibe in the early evening, making it the perfect escape for Philly’s 30+ crowd. With a curated mix of disco, ‘80s pop, and ‘90s club music, this is where nostalgia meets a modern party edge—all starting before the sun goes down. From Donna Summers and Whitney Houston to ABBA, Madonna and J.lo, millennials have the opportunity to ditch the normal grind, let loose and still be home at a reasonable hour.

Taking place at Philly’s entertainment and nightlife hot-spot, VINYL, attendees can expect a specially curated throwback playlist by DJ Eddie Tully, food and drink specials, an open dancefloor and Matinee style entertainment. Party goers can feel the beat, meet the crowd, and turn up the evening energy that we’ve all been waiting for in Philadelphia. Think throwback DJs, bubbly, dancers, confetti showers and more!

“We are giving Philly an opportunity to embrace the best of both worlds with an early evening party that feels just as fun and exhilarating as a late night out,” said event creator, Eddie Tully. “No more waiting until 11PM to be a part of the party, you can still be home by midnight and get a good night's rest.”

“We look forward to bringing the Matinee experience to Vinyl with DJ Eddie Tully,” said Ross Binder, General Manager of Vinyl. “This event is all about uniting those who appreciate amazing music, great company, and the thrill of an unforgettable party. It’s for the trendsetters and social scene that knows how to work hard and play even harder.”
