NOSTALGIA NIGHTS
Get ready to step into a time machine every Friday night at the Grindstone Theatre! It’s the ultimate nostalgia party, where each week celebrates a different decade—from the funky 70s to the iconic 2000s. This event is all about creating an inclusive space for everyone to come together, dress up and get down to the music that defined your youth. Whether you love singing along to your favorite throwback hits or dancing the night away, there’s something for everyone.
Bring your crew and invite friends to relive the best of the past while embracing the present. From legendary sing-alongs to unforgettable dance moves, we’re turning the Grindstone into a celebration of community and good vibes. So, mark your calendars for every Friday, and join us as we keep the nostalgia alive.
Plus, check out our Vintage Vendors featuring Edmonton’s best curators, where you can shop unique clothing items to complete your look!
1st Friday of the Month: 70s Disco Fever
Put on your best bell bottoms, sequins, and platform shoes, and groove to the funky beats of soul, funk, disco, glam rock, and yacht rock. Dance to timeless hits from artists like Donna Summer, James Brown, and Fleetwood Mac. Whether you’re a fan of groovy disco lights or soulful vibes, this night will take you back to the boogie era.
2nd Friday of the Month: 80s Flashback
Rock your neon colors, shoulder pads, and leg warmers as we celebrate the new wave, synth-pop, post-punk, and early hip-hop that defined the 80s. Expect classics from Depeche Mode, Madonna, The Smiths, and Run-D.M.C., with dance floors filled with high energy and unforgettable anthems.
3rd Friday of the Month: 90s Throwdown
Break out the flannel, cargo pants, and chokers for a night of grunge rock, dance, house, R&B, and hip-hop. Get ready to sing along and dance to icons like Nirvana, TLC, Technotronic, and Tupac. This night is a tribute to the golden era of 90s music, mixing everything from rock to dance classics.
4th Friday of the Month: 2000s Pop Party
Throw on your low-rise jeans and graphic tees for a night that’s all about the indie rock, electro, pop, and early EDM that shaped the 2000s. Dance to hits from Britney Spears, The Strokes, Daft Punk, and Justice, capturing the essence of millennial pop culture with a nostalgic twist.
THE GRINDSTONE'S RESIDENT DJ COLLECTIVE
“SWEAT” is a party that started in an Edmonton backroom in the Spring of 2014. The idea was to create a totally inclusive electronic music dance party focused on 100% positive vibes, where party people feel welcome to have some serious fun on the dance floor! It’s about getting free, getting loose, connecting with the most amazing people, and having the time of your damn life!
SWEAT is collaborative. A live VJ sets the atmosphere. 4 DJs play every night – with 1 either local or international headliner, and 3 of the SWEAT crew keep you dancing your ass off. And we never go out without our disco ball. Love that classic dance floor feel!
The beauty of Nu-Disco music is that it’s inclusive. It’s phonically fresh, while reliving great moments from the past. It’s pop friendly, but it doesn’t get lost in trends. Adjusting with the times, but holding to the roots of dance music. We love introducing Edmonton to some of the world’s best new dance music, so you might Shazam some amazing tracks for the first time, or you might get stuck singing your heart out to a remix of that 80s chorus everyone loves (WE ARE YOUNG!)
So before you get a drink in hand, take a stretch, cause one thing’s for sure; we’re gonna make you SWEAT.
FEATURING: Joses, Polyesterday, Will Hempfree, Moody Lion, Mae, Femme Funk, Oh-Me, St. Croix, Rudy Roman, Suzanne Summers & DJ Thrillskie.
