Ibiza Closing Parties (Part 1)

It’s that bittersweet time of year on the White Isle - the 2025 clubbing season is drawing to a close, but not before an explosive finale of closing parties. For the uninitiated, closing parties mark the end of a glorious summer season, bringing together clubs, DJs, and diehard clubbers for one last series of unforgettable events.

Most residencies run weekly throughout the summer, and when each one ends, it throws a closing party to bid farewell. After that, the clubs themselves host their own grand finales – often stretching across multiple days. Traditionally, most closings fall between mid-September and mid-October, effectively the island’s “last call” before attention shifts to events like ADE in Amsterdam. In 2025, the calendar is packed, and in this two-part guide we’ll highlight the unmissable events.

In Part 1, we’re focusing on key closing parties happening in September, with a blend of mainstream spectacles, underground marathons, and everything in between. Think of this as your warm-up to the huge finales coming later in October.

Hï Ibiza - Afro, Disco & Techno Heaven

Voted the world’s number one club yet again, Hï Ibiza never fails to deliver at closing time. Its residencies cover every corner of the electronic spectrum, and their finales always feel extra-special.

One of the crown jewels is Black Coffee’s Saturday night. Now in its eighth season, the South African superstar has made Afro-house the heartbeat of Ibiza. On Saturday, October 4, he plays his final set of the summer with an extended journey through deep, soulful grooves. He’ll be joined by genre-blending live act WhoMadeWho, plus support in the Club Room from Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus, who always adds a mystical, experimental edge. Expect immersive production, dazzling visuals, and one last Afro-house odyssey that feels like a rite of passage.

Glitterbox takes over on Sunday, October 5. Famous for its flamboyant performers and anthemic house and disco, this is Ibiza at its most joyful. Closing party highlights include disco pioneer Dimitri From Paris, house heroine Jayda G, Ibiza collective Melon Bomb, and plenty of special guests. It’s a night of pure positivity - one final chance to dance under the disco balls before Hï wraps up.

Hï’s other closings are equally unmissable. The Martinez Brothers finish their Tuesday residency on Sept 30, and on Oct 3, Joseph Capriati’s Metamorfosi wraps with a techno-heavy lineup - last year saw him joined by Indira Paganotto and Kobosil, and 2025 is shaping up just as strong. Together, these events make Hï’s final fortnight a non-stop showcase of electronic music’s biggest names.

Ushuaïa - EDM Titans & ANTS Takeover

Across the road, Ushuaïa Ibiza brings the big daytime energy. Known for jaw-dropping outdoor production and stadium-sized crowds, its closing parties span from EDM to underground house.

On the commercial side, heavyweights like Calvin Harris (closing Sept 12), Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (Sept 24), and Martin Garrix (Sept 25) will finish their residencies with the kind of high-octane sets fans travel across the world for. Each closing is loaded with massive hits, sing-along moments, and plenty of pyro. Armin van Buuren’s residency also signs off on Sept 28, giving trance fans their final Balearic fix under the open sky.

But the jewel in Ushuaïa’s crown is ANTS, its in-house Saturday residency. This year’s METALWORKS theme has transformed the club into a dystopian playground of robotic ants, towering steel structures, and industrial-themed production. For the ANTS closing on Oct 4, the Colony is pulling together a monster lineup of B2B sets. Andrea Oliva joins Franky Wah for a driving house showcase, Chelina Manuhutu pairs with Mason Collective, Nic Fanciulli goes B2B with Joris Voorn, and Max Dean faces off with SOSA. Add in the high-tech staging and you have one of the most visually spectacular closings on the island.

If you only do one daytime closing party this year, ANTS should be top of the list.

Amnesia - Terrace Sunrises & Closing Festival

Few clubs embody the Ibiza spirit like Amnesia. Their residency closings are stacked, but the real magic comes in October.

On Sunday, Oct 5, the club’s flagship underground night Pyramid ends its season. Pyramid is all about marathon sets and a who’s who of techno and house. Past closings have seen names like Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, and Nina Kraviz, and 2025 promises another roadblock lineup.

Then Amnesia saves the best for last with its two-day Closing Festival on Oct 10 and 11. The first wave of artists includes Amelie Lens, Nina Kraviz, Deborah De Luca, Honey Dijon, Marco Faraone, Joris Voorn, and more. It’s effectively a festival inside a club - two days, multiple rooms, and a non-stop flow of techno and house until way past sunrise. This is Amnesia at its most uncompromising, and a must for anyone who wants to experience the island’s raw, untamed energy one last time.

Pacha – Old Meets New

Over in Ibiza Town, Pacha continues to blend island heritage with forward-thinking bookings. The first week of October is stacked with back-to-back closings.

Defected signs off on Oct 2 with a lineup for true house heads: Masters At Work, Eats Everything, Low Steppa, and Sam Divine. For lovers of classic house grooves, this is as authentic as it gets.

The following days bring more variety. Flower Power closes Oct 4 with its trademark retro-disco vibe, this time boosted by Purple Disco Machine. On Oct 5, Solomun +1 reaches its finale, with Solomun playing an all-night-long set.

For fans of melodic house, CamelPhat’s final night on Oct 7 is essential, featuring a live set from techno wizard Stephan Bodzin. And Pacha’s week of closings rolls straight into Music On with Marco Carola on Oct 9–10, because who needs just one closing party? It’s a whirlwind stretch of parties that perfectly captures Pacha’s eclecticism.

DC10 - Raw & Underground

If you’re looking for pure, no-frills clubbing, DC10 is where you’ll find it. Two closings here stand out.

First up is Solid Grooves on Oct 2. Expect bass-heavy tech house from founders PAWSA and Michael Bibi’s crew, alongside friends like Dennis Cruz and ANOTR. It’s a Thursday night built for groove-hungry ravers who want to lose themselves in the warehouse atmosphere.

Then there’s the big one: Circoloco on Oct 13, one of the very last closings of the Ibiza calendar. This Monday marathon runs from early evening until deep into Tuesday morning, with an enormous lineup of underground stars. Seth Troxler, Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers, and many more usually appear – and the energy is unmatched. Circoloco’s closing is a rite of passage, and for many, it marks the true end of summer.

UNVRS - The Newcomer’s First Closing

2025 also marked the debut season of UNVRS, the futuristic club built on the site of the old Privilege. With residencies from Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, and FISHER, it’s already cemented itself as a major player.

Carl Cox’s closing on Sept 21 will be a techno masterclass, while FISHER ends his fun-filled Thursday sessions on Sept 25. But the real headline is the UNVRS Closing Party on Oct 12, part of the joint trilogy weekend with Ushuaïa and Hï. Featuring Anyma, Peggy Gou, Black Coffee, ANOTR, Vintage Culture, and more, it’s a genre-spanning, jaw-dropping lineup that signals the arrival of Ibiza’s new era.

From Afro-house journeys at Hï to daytime madness at Ushuaïa, marathon techno at Amnesia, and underground chaos at DC10, Ibiza’s September and early October closings in 2025 are looking unforgettable.

This is just Part 1. In our next article, we’ll dive into the final stretch of October, including Amnesia’s festival marathon, Pacha’s grand closing weekend, and Circoloco’s legendary last dance. Ibiza never goes quietly - and 2025’s closings prove once again why this island is the beating heart of global club culture.
