Gala by Iban Mendoza

Gala by Iban Mendoza arrives at Cova Santa, pairing the Ibiza promoter and selector with one of the island’s most distinctive open-air venues. Set in a former quarry ringed by rock terraces, Cova Santa trades superclub scale for atmosphere, and Mendoza’s Gala concept leans into that, building a night around underground house and tech-house played to a music-focused crowd. The format runs from the daytime through into the evening, using the outdoor amphitheatre as the sun drops. As Gala is a newer addition to the Cova Santa calendar, the full lineup is still to be confirmed, but expect the kind of credible, groove-led selections the venue is known for rather than big-room headliners. A night aimed at those who value setting and sound over spectacle.
