Ibiza's Most Popular Parties of 2022

Music On continues to pack Pacha’s dancefloor every Friday, with Marco Carola’s popularity on the island showing no signs of slowing down.

The transition from Amnesia in 2019 has been seamless, and it’s opened up a whole new party in its own right: Music On Daytime, at Pacha’s Destino resort.

Here’s to another 10 years of Music On in Ibiza.

The ever-developing David Guetta switched things up in Ibiza for 2022. The decision was made to move his F*** ME I’M FAMOUS parties to the daytime slot at Ushuaïa, leaving himself the opportunity for a new project at Hï every Friday.

That project was called Future Rave: a label ran alongside Morten, showcasing the next wave of future rave talent.

And we can tell you, it was a big success. Guetta and Morten owned the Theatre room, while the likes of Idris Elba, James Hype, and Hannah Laing kept the club room rocking every party throughout the summer.

Michael Bibi and the Solid Grooves gang took a big step up in 2022, announcing their first Thursday residency at the iconic DC10.

And they delivered, big time. The Solid Grooves Motel opened for business on 12 dates throughout 2022, and was one of the most successful new residencies on the island.

We’re sure the party will be back next season, and look forward to seeing what’s in store next 🔥

Circoloco bounced back to Ibiza in 2022 with its longest season yet. No less than 24 parties, every Monday, each one of them as popular as ever.

Sound restrictions at DC10 may have forced the garden stage the close early in the season, but the party didn’t stop there. It’s still one of the most famous parties in Ibiza, and it’s not going anywhere, anytime soon.

It’s difficult to imagine a club and party better matched than Hï and Glitterbox 🤝

Each year, the glamorous disco inspired party seems to become more and more popular. Its Sunday night parties are a must if you’re in Ibiza next season 🕺

Is there a bigger brand in dance music now than elrow?

Its spiritual home at Amnesia continues to be one of the busiest nights you’ll find anywhere in Ibiza. It’s a party that has to be seen to be believed, and 2022 was another incredible season.

A homegrown staple of Ushuaïa since the hotel opened its doors nearly 10 years ago, ANTS had a stunning season in 2022.

The appetite for its underground house and techno vive, spear-headed by Andrea Olivia, has never been so big.

The colony looks set to grow in size, and we’re excited to see what production will be in store for us in 2023.

You’d be forgiven for saying Defected have been around the block in Ibiza. But now at Eden, things just feel right.

The London based label has helped to re-invigorate clubbing at Eden, arguably putting it back on the map as a heavy-weight that can compete with the biggest clubs on the island.

And considering Defected consistently attract the best names in house, for an affortable entry fee, we hope to see them lighting up Ibiza’s dancefloors for many more years to come.

Here’s to an even bigger 2023.

Moving Ibiza’s longest running residency from a night to day party could have been seen as a risk… to some people. But this is David Guetta we’re talking about – the French producer has over 20 years of experience putting parties on in Ibiza, and for the first time in 2022, FMIF moved to Ushuaïa.

The gamble (if you want to call it that) clearly paid off. Guetta brought a wide range of support acts, from the likes of Afrojack, Purple Disco Machine, Martin Solveig, Armin Van Buuren, and Joel Corry, to keep things fresh every Monday throughout the season.

Let’s hope for even bigger and better things from Guetta next season.

Scottish producer Calvin Harris made the headlines when he announced a full summer residency at Ushuaïa for 2022. Whilst he’d done some “mini-residencies” in the past, this time fans would have a huge 14 dates to choose from.

The Friday night parties were the hottest tickets on the island all summer. Supported by none other than house legend MK, every week the dancefloors were treated to the sounds of Calvin past and present.

Let’s hope for more of the same in 2023!
