Pikes Presents was built on the simple idea of booking DJs who have a special bond with Ibiza, allowing them to play unfiltered with complete musical freedom over their selection choices. In the modern era, this is a privilege that is rarely afforded with the pressure and expectation of playing in one of the island's super-clubs.
After outgrowing Freddies discotheque in a lot of ways, the party is upping roots and making a short jump across the road in 2025.
Spreading its wings, Pikes Presents launches at outdoor 528 Ibiza to bring the open-air Balearic spirit to Tuesday evenings.
Each date will take place at the Garden Stage from 17:00 to 23:00, before moving inside for an intimate on-site after party until 04:00.
This will be the same Pikes Presents as you will have experienced in the past, in the sense that its essence is totally retained. However, it is amplified by being able to accommodate more people, on a larger scale and with a greater creative freedom that this facilitates.
Now that the line-ups have dropped, you can see what we mean...
The series opens on 3 June with a headline Hot Chip DJ set, where they will be joined by Balearic goddess Colleen Cosmo Murphy. Musically, that is going to be simply fantastic and what an introduction to the concept.
Throughout the rest of the month, there are showcases from OpenLab x SlapFunk (10 and 24 June) and the city that started it all Detroit Love (17 June).
These parties feature an array of underground talent including Dan Ghenacia, Ron Trent, Sally C, Tristan da Cunha, Luke Una, Samuel Deep, Georgia and A.M. Project, while Carl Craig invites fellow second-generation Detroit lynchpin and cultural icon Moodymann and Idriss D.
July starts in much the same manner, with the loveable scallywags from Bugged Out! It brings Marcel Dettmann, Erol Alkan, Perel and Cici to Benimussa Hills on 1 July.
Groove Armada present the first of two scheduled Love.House.Disco shows on 8 July. Back To Mine book the original DJ duo Sasha & John Digweed on 15 July and Ibizan quartet Melon Bomb are joined by Dan Shake back-to-back Demi Requísimo on 22 July.
During August, Flash invites dance music sensationalist Confidence Man for a live set, followed by a late-night DJ set along with Gene On Earth. There are also dates for Motor City Drum Ensemble at Vitalik's takeover and Zombies In Miami and Curses for Homies.
In the final straight, Groove Armada return and Layo & Bushwacka! reunite, before La Discothèque closes the series on 16 September with Basement Jaxx and DJ Paulette.
In order to give a little back to the island, there will also be a special rate for residents and workers at €20 admission validated through the San An Pass. Great news for those of us who live and work here.
Tickets are on sale now and can be found below, along with more detailed line-ups. Come and join us at this very special location and dream concept this summer.
