Nineties versus Noughties music and dance-offs in a crazy night of bingo at Derby venue
Two iconic decades – the Nineties and the Noughties – will be blended in one crazy night of music, dance and bingo.
Bongo’s Bingo will be embracing 20 years of music hits and retro culture in a 90s vs 00s special at Vaillant Live, Derby on May 29, 2026.
Each decade is a pivotal period of time, packed with pop-culture chaos, fantastic fashion, technological advances, sporting triumphs, and a liberal sprinkling of political global upheaval for good measure.
First up, the 90s remains one of the truly iconic decades – a halcyon period of relative innocence and the Spice Girls redefining girl power. There were no mobile phones and no social media and the television was dominated by series such as Friends, Twin Peaks, The X Files and The Simpsons. This was an era of Britpop wars and secret raves, Backstreet Boys, Nirvana, TLC and 2Pac. The decade introduced Harry Potter, dial-up internet and Tamagotchis.
Or is the Noughties better when The Wire, Six Feet Under and Malcolm In The Middle lit up TV screens and Donnie Darko, Kill Bill and Shaun of the Dead landed in cinemas. Who could forget this was an era which birthed gadgetry including the iPod and PS2. This vintage decade gave us Hey Ya!, Crazy in Love and Daft Punk’s absolute classic, One More Time.
As always, at Bongo’s Bingo the music’s where it’s at – and of course copious bingo, dance-offs, rave rounds and prizes. Expect all of the usual madness plus special themed prizes and music, with fancy dress very much encouraged to get fully into the mood.
