September is traditionally when most Ibiza closing parties appear on the events calendar. However, seeing that this is the longest summer season to date, we get to extend those closing parties for more than three weeks. If you’re a dance music lover, making room for one last dance at one of Ibiza’s mega clubs should undoubtedly be at the top of your bucket list.



There’s a reason the White Isle’s clubs rank among the top in the world. And in 2022, the island has reestablished itself as the scene’s epicenter, bringing the best international DJs weekly. In terms of numbers, over 1.3 million passengers arrived at Ibiza's Airport in July, an increase of almost 50% over July 2021, when the coronavirus cut the season short, and clubs weren't even allowed to open until October. And while Ibiza is a popular destination for travelers of all kinds, this record-breaking year indicates that thousands arrive looking for a once-in-a-life party experience.


This year some hotels, beach clubs, and restaurants remain open for the whole month of October, so entertainment is still on the agenda in Ibiza. For loyal clubbers and party lovers, this time of the year is particularly magical, the weather is perfect, and the attitude and mood of the DJs, workers, and residents is relaxed and a little nostalgic.


We've gathered our recommendations for the best parties during closing month in Ibiza.










Hï Ibiza

Proclaimed the world’s #1 club by DJMag in 2022, Hï Ibiza transformed itself into a must-visit on the island in just a few years. Run by The Night League, both Hï and Ushuaïa (Hï's sister venue) have proved to have the best lighting, sound, and production on the island. Both venues have attracted many of the best DJs in the world, hosting their dream weekly residencies.




On Tuesday, September 27, The Martinez Brothers' debut headline residency draws to a close. The boys are bringing American DJ and house producer Kerri Chandler and Argentinian-born Berlin-based Guti, who will perform live. Looking after the Club Room for the last time, Spanish techno stalwart Paco Osuna brings Renato Ratier and a secret special guest for the occasion.









The first headline residency for Australian superstar FISHER ends on Wednesday, September 28. He will play all night long in the Theatre, and Brazilian DJ and producer Vintage Culture will host the Club Room.









Afterlife, led by Italian duo Carmine Conte and Matteo Milleri, known professionally as Tale of Us, take over Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza with a day-to-night Grand Finale on Thursday, September 29, making it the most historic Afterlife closing ever.









David Guetta brings his unique dance sounds to the Future Rave closing party on Friday, September 30, alongside Morten, Idris Elba, and more guests in both rooms.


South African pioneer Black Coffee’s residency concludes on October 1. He first took up his residency at Hï Ibiza in 2017, and he is ready to close the season in style with fellow Drake producer &Me and DJ Kabila. Damian Lazarus will be shutting the Club Room doors too.









Sunday, October 2, brings the last chance to dance at Glitterbox under Hï Ibiza’s roof this summer, serving up house and disco sounds plus an exceptional and immersive atmosphere.









Hï Ibiza will also host a glorious closing party led by some of the club’s most iconic residents, such as The Martinez Brothers and Tale Of Us. In addition, an avalanche of dance icons will join them, including ANNA, Peggy Gou, and Anfisa Letyago, to celebrate Hï’s most successful year since its inception in 2017.









Ushuaïa Ibiza

Hï Ibiza’s sister venue, Ushuaïa, first opened in 2011 and has revolutionized Ibiza again this year. Exclusive one-off events, the best DJs in the world, and trend-setting production have positioned Ushuaïa Ibiza as the sixth of the Top 100 Best Clubs worldwide. Since the beginning of September, the open-air beach club has shut down many of the party residencies. F*** Me I’m Famous, its most-in-demand event guided by David Guetta, will be the last to close on Monday, October 3.




The infamous ANTS Colony is responsible for the final party of the summer. On Saturday, October 8, One More dANTS wraps up the season with a massive house and techno line-up and three special back-to-backs right before the Hï Ibiza Closing Party on the same day.



















DC10

The Mecca for ravers located on Salinas road will close out with the unrivaled Circoloco festival on Monday, October 10, running from 6 pm to early the next morning. The Circoloco and DC10 closing party features 23 artists celebrating 23 years on the radar, a must for all fans of an authentic Ibiza clubbing experience.









The old hangar has been home to some big names on the scene this summer, such as Carl Cox, Amelie Lens, and Patrick Topping, who all celebrated their closing parties in late August. In addition, London record label Solid Grooves has hosted 17 thriving Thursdays at the club and invite underground music lovers to the final dance on Thursday, September 29.












Club Chinois

The island's newest spot, Club Chinois, located in Marina Botafoch (previously Heart Club and Restaurant), opened in June, hosting renowned artists and headlining entertainers. The last parties scheduled for its first-ever Ibiza season are Catharsis by Sven Väth on Tuesday, Colours by Themba on Wednesday, September 28, and Luciano on Saturday, September 30.




The first week of October brings Moon Harbour's exclusive showcase on Tuesday, October 4, A Starry Night by Satori on Thursday, October 6, and the following week, La Troya closes a short season on Monday, October 10.




UNA by Ida Engberg wraps up on Tuesday, October 11. Then, Boho Experience by Camilo Franco starts at Beachouse open-air club during the day on Thursday, October 13. And at midnight, the Colombian DJ and guests move to Chinois to conclude the season.




On Friday, October 14, We're Here by Pablo Fierro brings positive and happy tropical beats one last time to Chinois. And on Sunday, October 16, the decadent new nightspot celebrates its first-ever grand finale.
















Amnesia

Amnesia, one of the oldest clubs in Ibiza, opened in the 70s and has always hosted the longest closing ceremonies, regularly stretching for more than 12 hours. Forget dancing until sunrise; you'll be grooving well into the next afternoon on the Terrace.




But before Amnesia’s official farewell party, elrow will close out the venue's busiest night on Saturday, October 1, with a brand new theme, Delusionville. Paradise—run by Jamie Jones and the Hot Creation crew— finalize The Age of Love, their first ever season at Amnesia, on Wednesday, October 5. And Amnesia's in-house brand, Pyramid, celebrates for two nights Sunday, October 2 and October 9.




Last but not least, the day chosen by the San Rafael nightclub to celebrate its “Not Just Another Closing” event is Saturday, October 15.

Ending with a note of nostalgia, Amnesia announced big beat pioneers, The Chemical Brothers (Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands), who will make their one-and-only appearance in Ibiza this summer on the infamous Terrace. Cuartero, Eats Everything, Marco Faraone and Jamie Jones will take over the Terrace in the AM hours. The Main room will host techno figures such as Nina Kraviz, Luca Donzelli, Kobosil, and more to be announced.














Cova Santa

Born and raised in Ibiza, WooMooN kicked off a few years ago in the beautiful surroundings of the Amnesia-owned Cova Santa venue. A conceptual event that presents nomadic sounds fused with performances, art, nature, food, and magic. The WooMooN closing party coincides with Cova Santa’s last day open this summer on Sunday, October 9.




















Pacha

Until 2018 (with the change of ownership), Pacha was the only club that remained open year-round in Ibiza for residents and off-season tourists. Nevertheless, Ibiza’s most iconic club is officially the last venue to close the party season over two weeks in October. Beginning on Monday, October 3, with the legendary Flower Power party, followed by Bedouin’s newest residency, “A Wednesday Saga,” on October 5, and the enigmatic DJ and producer Claptone closes up The Masquerade on Saturday, October 8.




The following week, Marco Carola carries out the unbeatable Music On Marathon for more than 12 hours on Friday, October 14, kicking things off at Destino Resort during the day and continuing the party at Pacha from midnight into the morning. For real party animals!




Firmly established as the king of Sundays in Ibiza, Solomun takes over the venue for the very last time with Boys Noize as his +1 guest on Sunday, October 16, which marks the last chance to enjoy one of Ibiza’s leading parties this season.

Back To Mine with Faithless | Pikes | Wednesday, July 27

Back to Mine—the house music album series featuring the likes of New Order, Groove Armada, Faithless, Carl Cox, Pet Shop Boys, and many others—began with party events at Pikes Ibiza in 2019. The brand is all about track selections made for the afters. The cozy vibes at the iconic finca founded by Tony Pike will include a very special and personal DJ set.



This summer Back to Mine returns to Ibiza for three dates between the hills of San Antonio at the iconic venue.

Ibiza has always been a remarkable destination for music, sound, production, and its super clubs. However, there is something about smaller, less crowded venues that have a free-entry policy. The island is also the greatest for pre-parties with no need to wait till midnight and queue, book in advance, or pay entrance to enjoy music by renowned DJs and brands. And it all happens at Café Mambo.



An authentic family business for decades, it established itself as the perfect destination for food, drink, and sunset views. Located along the San Antonio Bay sidewalk, the legendary restaurant and bar is open throughout the day and when the night falls, it becomes the pit-stop for top artists where they warmup with a more intimate vibe and create the hype before their big nights ahead.

Monday - Felix Da Housecat before Lío Ibiza

Tuesday - The Martinez Brothers before Hï Ibiza

Wednesday - Fisher before Hï Ibiza

Thursday – El Baile before Pacha

Friday – Defected Records before Eden

Saturday – The Masquerade by Claptone before Pacha

Sunday – Glitterbox before Hï Ibiza







If you want to have dinner at Mambo, we strongly recommend reserving a table ahead of time. Otherwise, just stop by any time after the sun sets and join an amazing party atmosphere. Plenty of options await you when the celebration ends at Ibiza's hottest pre-party spot!

Ibiza Selects (July 25-31)

Circoloco 23rd Anniversary

Spain

DC-10

Ready to keep the weekend going by getting mesmerized on a Monday? Then the Circoloco anniversary party definitely needs to be on your agenda. Celebrating 23 years of making people move on the island of Ibiza, the lineup at DC-10 will keep you sweating from sunset to sunrise!

Circoloco launched in 1999 with a manifesto to promote dance music’s underground roots by creating a safe space for all, no matter their background, bank account, orientation, or gender. Known for its no-nonsense, back-to-the-old-school vibe, Italian promoters Antonio Carbonaro and Andrea Pelino made their mark using word-of-mouth marketing. Now a worldwide brand with solid principles of free or affordable tickets—alongside an unrivaled forward-thinking music policy—Circoloco changed the story of what clubbing could—and should—be about.



A veritable who’s-who of the house and techno scene lights up the stage on July 25. With so many talents packed into one evening, we recommend checking out Seth Troxler. The Kalamazoo, Michigan-born, Detroit-raised DJ/producer first stepped behind the ones-and-two thanks to his college radio DJ stepfather while curating his tastes as a teen behind the counter at the landmark Melodies & Memories record store. Making the move to Berlin, his career caught fire when he debuted at Panorama Bar at only 18. The fan-favorite Troxler brings good house and techno beats and some of the best vibes to his part-time home of Ibiza at DC-10.

Hailing from South Africa, Black Coffee has been rocking the decks for more than 25 years. With an impressive list of accolades—including a Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy—his formal jazz training and time working as a professional vocalist primed Black Coffee to hypnotize with his carefully crafted brand of house.



Another can’t-miss set comes courtesy of the DJ/producer known mononymously as Luciano. The groundbreaking veteran hailing originally from Switzerland and growing up in Chile, his discerning taste for techno and house has garnered him the respect of his colleagues and clubbers alike. The Cadenza Records founder was key in re-ignite Ibiza’s underground nightlife with a free party at the Ushuaïa beach bar, a weekly residency at Pacha, and his Vagabundos and Luciano & Friends events were a bucket list destination for globe-trotting fans. If that wasn’t enough, Luciano started the charity One Coin For Life to raise awareness and money to help communities worldwide.



Other DJs on the docket for the Circoloco celebration include &Me b2b Rampa, Bradley Zero, DJ Boring, Gerd Janson, Hiver, O.Bee b2b Tomas Station, Peggy Gou, Rony Seikaly, Tania Vulcano, The Ghostbusters, and TSHA. Get your tickets in advance so you don't get stuck outside this rager!



Circoloco Opening 2022

Another date for the diary! Circoloco returns to DC-10 every Monday from May 2nd to October 10th, and the opening party is looking to be a belter!



There is nothing more iconic than DC-10, Circoloco, and Ibiza. One without the others would not exist. The party brand celebrated its 20th season on the White Isle in 2018 and will kick off the 2022 summer from 4 pm on Monday, May 2nd. The music doesn’t stop, and the dancing certainly won’t be slowing down, all the way through until 7 am on May 3rd.



Circoloco veterans and a feast of island favorites will play, including &Me vs. Rampa, Adam Port, BLOND:ISH, Butch, Carlita, Chloé Caillet, Dana Montana, DJ Tennis, Ellen Allien, Fjaak (DJ set), Job Jobse and Luciano - a five-time DJ Awards winner and ten-time nominee.


Maceo Plex, Michael Bibi, Peggy Gou, Red Axes, Seth Troxler, Sossa, Tale Of Us, and Tania Volcano complete the lineup. It’s going to be a solid night of house and techno beats. So pick a spot and get comfy, you’ll need to be in for the long haul!




Technically, DC-10 is always the first to open up in the year, with their famous New Year's Day party, but this one is the real opening of the summer season. Showcasing underground talent and a full roster of artists lining up to play this iconic venue, the Circoloco mantra is simple; No frills, no fuss, no nonsense.




DC-10 is an Ibiza institution. The story starts as a small farmhouse on the way to Salinas, opened up as a music bar with an 80-person capacity by two Spanish brothers, Deogracias Lara Moreno and Antonio Lara Moreno. Then, in 1999, Italian promoters Andrea Pelino and Antonio Carbonaro came on board and created Circoloco.


Circoloco officially launched as a Monday morning "afters" session, starting at 6 am and running for 12 hours. The brand grew and adapted, and the club night did the same.




Famously positioned at the end of Ibiza airport’s runway, the roar of a jet’s engine does nothing to drown out the incredible DC-10 sound rig. You can start your day partying in the open air before getting down at one of the two internal dancing spots, the Terrace and Main Room. The famous red lights, the bass throbbing through your entire body, the epic and euphoric moments where you surrender to the music. It’s all there with Circoloco at DC-10.


The Circoloco opening party in 2022 will bring underground sounds to the Ibiza masses, something they’ve recently extended by way of their 2021 record label creation in partnership with Rockstar Games.




“CircoLoco has always been about the passion for finding the best music, supporting artists, and bringing them to the people in the purest way possible,” said CircoLoco Founder Antonio Carbonaro in a recent announcement. “CircoLoco Records is a natural next step for us, giving us a chance to bring the music we love to people everywhere.”
