About Afterlife
Founded by the Italian duo Tale Of Us, Afterlife has evolved from a label and party series into a multi-dimensional universe. The party showcases industry-leading visual technology and state-of-the-art installations, creating an immersive dancefloor experience that's out of this world.
The emblem of the falling man into an infinite cosmos symbolises the journey through time and space and the great unknown - the afterlife. With a roster of cutting-edge talent from around the world, Afterlife pushes the limits of reality. Enter the void and open your mind to the possibilities.

When?
Every Thursday night, starting 22 June to 5 October | 23:30 to 06:00
Midweeks on Ibiza take a little dip, but by Thursday we're already ramping back up to the weekend and nowhere is this more true than at Afterlife. The party has caught the imagination of the public with its special effects and futuristic, Trance-referencing soundtrack.
Where?
Found in Playa d'en Bossa, high-tech Hï Ibiza was voted the world's number one club by readers of DJ Mag in 2022 and 2023. With a growing profile year-on-year, Hï Ibiza celebrated its most successful season last summer, but could well surpass that this time.

Tale Of Us exited 2015 asserting they had no interest in a weekly Ibiza residency, but it was a diversion tactic to throw fans off the scent. By Spring, they had departed the Life & Death stable and formed their own breakaway label and party series, Afterlife.
After taking a spot at Space during its final year, the party moved to Privilege for one summer, before returning to Playa d'en Bossa in 2018 where it has remained ever since.
Who?
Students together at a music production college in Milan, Karmine Conte and Matteo Milleri bonded over their shared love of dance music, literature and the arts. It was during these formative years that the Tale Of Us project began.
Heavily influenced by Trance music, Tale Of Us have pioneered the sound that has become known as Melodic Techno. This bottled aural euphoria uses dramatic breakdowns and arpeggio chords. This is the signature sound of Afterlife - a monument built to their refined tastes.
Coupled with gawp-inducing CGI imagery, Afterlife is an emotional roller coaster.
As well as our protagonists, the roster also pulls heavily from the namesake Afterlife label. You will find multiple dates for Argy, Adriatique, Colyn, Glowal, Innellea, Kevin de Vries, Massano and Mathame.
On top of these names, TOU also invite a crop of leading names from the Techno realm, including Ben Klock b2b Marcel Dettmann, Sven Väth, Chris Liebing and Ellen Allien.

Strongest week?
17 August sees dramatic live act Stephan Bodzin and label regular ANNA join Tale Of Us in The Theatre, while countrymen and fellow duo Mind Against spearhead the Club Room, alongside Recondite (live).
Any surprises?
Oh, there will be surprises. That much is guaranteed.
This could be the summer that both Karm and Matteo debut their audio-visual solo projects on Ibiza. Karm's MRAK is already confirmed for Afterlife Day & Night at Ushuaïa on 5 October, so that just leaves Matteo's stunning Anyma show currently unconfirmed.
We also suspect that TOU might play a late announced or even unannounced early set in the Wild Corner on one date, just as they did last summer.
Anything else worth mentioning?
The closing party on 5 October is once again a day-to-night affair, starting across the road at Ushuaïa from 16:00 before moving to Hï Ibiza for the finale. Head here for more info.
