ANTS

Ushuaïa Ibiza's Industrial Revolution of Sound

This summer, Ushuaïa Ibiza's iconic Saturday residency, ANTS, returns with its most ambitious concept yet: ANTS METALWORKS. Running every Saturday from May 3 to October 4, 2025, this 23-week series transforms the open-air venue into a dystopian industrial world, where colossal machines and advanced robotics forge a new generation of ANTS from liquid metal. The dancefloor becomes the heart of this mechanical realm, pulsating with energy and driving the relentless rhythm of the colony.

The 2025 lineup is a fusion of ANTS veterans and fresh talent, delivering a diverse soundtrack that spans house, tech house, techno, Afro house, and deep house. Returning favorites include Andrea Oliva, Paul Kalkbrenner, John Summit, Boris Brejcha, Cloonee, Chelina Manuhutu, and Ilario Alicante. Newcomers making their ANTS debut are Dennis Ferrer, Shimza, AMÉMÉ, Korolova, MËSTIZA, Hitty, Max Dean, Mita Gami, Cameron Jack, Sparrow & Barbossa, and Zamna Soundsystem, each bringing their unique sound to the colony.

A highlight of the season is the unprecedented number of exclusive back-to-back (B2B) sets, adding an element of surprise and collaboration to each event. Notable pairings include Green Velvet B2B Skepta at the opening party, Andrea Oliva B2B Franky Wah at the closing party, Franky Rizardo B2B Cloonee, Chelina Manuhutu B2B Mason Collective, TSHA B2B HoneyLuv, and Kölsch B2B Joris Voorn. These unique collaborations promise to deliver unforgettable performances that push the boundaries of electronic music.

On August 23, ANTS mainstay Nic Fanciulli will celebrate his birthday with an extraordinary eight-hour marathon set, going B2B with each guest artist throughout the day. This special event underscores the communal spirit and musical camaraderie that define the ANTS experience.

If the all-star DJ booth happenings weren’t enough, once the sun goes down, explosive pyrotechnics, immersive visuals, and captivating set designs that tower above the stage elevate ANTS to the next level.

Not to mention: the dancers clad in black ant morph suits. Don't be alarmed if you find these human-ants amongst the crowds.

In true underground fashion, an all-black dress code is the choice of most ANTS attendees, and the branded ANTS fans on offer are a must-have for partying under the blistering Balearic sun.

The ANTS invasion begins at 15:00 and continues until 23:00, demanding your devotion to the rave at hand.

For those who never want the party to stop, ANTS is the ideal warm-up party before heading across the street to sister venue Hï Ibiza where you can join Black Coffee and his Afropolitan house grooves.
