The 2024 season in Ibiza is about to kick off with a bang, and if the opening parties are anything to go by, it’s going to be another year to remember on the island. Every year, the beginning of the Ibiza season is marked by Amnesia’s opening party, a legendary event that has been a mainstay in Ibiza’s club scene for decades. This year’s opening party is set to take place on Saturday, May 11th, and will feature headline sets from Green Velvet, Honey Dijon, Dennis Cruz, Joseph Capriati, Mar-T b2b Caal, Cristina Lazic, and more. Over in the Main Room, Italian duo 999999999 (also known as NineTimesNine) will bring their trademark dark techno to the dance floor with fellow techno titans the Amnesia favourite Andres Campo and Berghain resident Kobosil alongside sets from Luca Donzelli, Marco Faraone, and Nina Kraviz.
While Amnesia’s opening party is a must-attend event for any Ibiza enthusiast, this year’s season promises to be packed with epic nights from some of the island’s newer venues as well. Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza, both run by Ushuaïa Entertainment on the Playa d’en Bossa strip, have made waves over the past decade with their world-class lineups and immersive experiences. Ushuaïa Ibiza, founded in 2011, was ranked as the number 4 club in the world in DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 Clubs poll, while Hï Ibiza, which was born out of the closure of Space in 2016, opened 2017 and celebrates its third consecutive year at the top spot of the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs list. For context, Amnesia is no slouch on this list, featuring at no. 8 this year.
Hï Ibiza has already hosted its opening party for the season, in late April, which featured a set from Honey Dijon alongside other DJs TSHA, Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Carlita, and Loco Dice. The club is expecting over 700,000 clubbers to enter its doors over a 120-event summer that will feature over 500 DJs. Some of the big names expected to turn up this year include ANTS, Armin van Buuren, Calvin Harris, Defected, Martin Garrix, Swedish House Mafia, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. A particular highlight of Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa Ibiza’s upcoming season is the return of David Guetta’s legendary F*** I’m Famous! party. One of the longest-running parties on the island, presented by DJ Mag’s no. 1 DJ himself, Guetta will be joined by other legends Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, and Becky Hill among many more for weekly events every Monday from June 3rd to October 7th.
