528 Ibiza: A New Era of Clubbing on the White Isle
Tucked into the hills just outside San Antonio, 528 Ibiza —sister venue to the legendary Pikes Ibiza—has redefined what daytime partying looks like on the island. With its open-air layout, tiered dancefloors, and panoramic views, the venue is now one of the leading destinations for music lovers seeking high-quality, sunlit sessions. In 2025, it’s stepping even further into the spotlight with a full summer program curated by Kaluki Musik and Electric Ibiza, offering twenty-two events across Fridays and Sundays that stretch from late May through early October.
This year’s calendar is packed with label showcases and brand collaborations from across the global dance spectrum. From Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two and Archie Hamilton’s Microhertz to Josh Baker’s You&Me and Max Dean’s NexUp, the schedule showcases some of the most in-demand collectives and selectors on the circuit. Kaluki returns to host multiple Fridays throughout the summer, anchoring the series with heavyweight bookings and special guest appearances. The season launches with an opening party on May 30, headlined by Ilario Alicante and Fleur Shore, setting the tone for what’s to come.
528’s programming is deliberately spread across both the underground and more established ends of the house and techno spectrum. In June, All Day I Dream returns with Lee Burridge at the helm, while July sees Hot Since 82 bring his Knee Deep In Ibiza brand to the venue. August continues to raise the stakes with a full takeover from After Caposile featuring tINI and Saoirse, followed by a late summer set of events that include NexUp and a high-profile closing party from Do Not Sleep.
What defines the 528 experience isn’t just who’s on the lineup. It’s the balance between immersive production and the freedom of being outdoors, between daytime energy and sunset atmosphere. The natural surroundings, combined with a state-of-the-art soundsystem and attention to curation, make for parties that feel thoughtful without ever being overdesigned. It’s clubbing that breathes, in a setting that invites you to stay a little longer.
While the venue now operates under a new name and programming style, long-time Ibiza goers will remember its former life as the home of The Zoo Project. That weekly gathering—famous for animal-inspired costumes, tribal face paint, and its anything-goes spirit—was once the island’s most eclectic open-air escape. In many ways, the ethos of The Zoo Project lingers in the air. Though 528 is now more refined and internationally focused, the sense of freedom, outdoor celebration, and unfiltered connection to music still runs deep.
In a landscape where daytime events are becoming just as essential as the island’s storied nightclubs, 528 Ibiza has carved out a space of its own. Its evolution mirrors that of Ibiza itself—rooted in experience, but always moving forward. With this year’s lineup and vision, 528 is no longer just a venue; it’s one of the most anticipated destinations of the summer.
