The island of Ibiza has been known as the clubbing capital for years mainly focusing on the dance and club spectrum. However, with Ibiza Live kicking off in June, there will be a new batch of stars coming to the Spanish island. Acts such as Wretch 32, Dizzee Rascal, Example, Dappy, Rev Run, Professor Green and more will all perform this summer in the premiere party spot of the world. Ibiza Live will run June 5-Sept. 11 at Eden. Andi Durrant of Capital FM will serve as resident DJ. Starting June 17th will be Mallorca Live, streaming a similar concept yet bringing the energy outside of Ibiza. Party goers will have many added options this year on where to party. That’s surely a good thing!
Live music in Ibiza is a phenomenon that is only set to expand exponentially. Imagine the unique hedonistic experience that Ibiza offers, then pair that up with LIVE performances from the absolute elite of the urban, pop and dance worlds. This is exactly what Ibiza Live intends to do. The culmination of all their work promoting events across the globe over the last 25 years, the new nights will be bringing live performances and all night clubbing together in a specially designed environment for a new generation of clubber.
When we are talking headline acts we mean it. Ibiza is no longer strictly the domain of the superstar DJ, the island is soon to be visited by pop royalty including the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Example, Wretch 32, Professor Green, Dappy, plus many more. All sensational triple A list acts, they will all be performing at Ibiza Live this summer.
This will be the first full season that Ibiza Live has brought their unique concept to the island, having trialed it last Summer;
“We tested the concept out last year at Eden with acts like Example, Tinie Tempah and N-Dubz” says Simon Belofsky, Ibiza Live promoter, “The shows were sold out and the venue was at capacity – so we learned very quickly that there is a strong appetite for this kind of format in Ibiza”.
Joining the headline acts, Capital FM DJ Andi Durrant will be heading up the bill as their DJ resident, supported by island favourite Scott Page. Andi Durrant’s show on Capital FM is a powerful medium for braking new dance records in the UK. The Ibiza show will be broadcast across the UK on the Capital Network every Friday and Saturday night in the UK during the summer, reaching millions of listeners back home.
The venue for this ambitious production is San Antonio’s only real super club Eden, situated opposite the beach in the area’s centre. Eden has been working closely with the promoter and artists to develop a spectacular stage show, with specially designed lighting and sound for maximum impact and the fullest experience possible.
For those not in Ibiza, there will also be the launch of Mallorca Live every Sunday during the summer. Utilizing the same format as that of Ibiza Live, these events will also feature all of the headlining acts. The venue is Mallorca’s world famous BCM nightclub, which with its huge light and sound production make it a perfect forum for the event. There are also plans for expansion with outdoor matinee shows to be held in Mallorca featuring all of the A list artists throughout the season.
You can see that the Ibiza and Mallorca Live team are no strangers to big club productions. With a quarter century of experience in the music and club industry they have successfully road tested the concept in the UK, Kavos, Balearics, Russia and America.
