About Glitterbox
Uniting generations of music lovers and Disco devotees, club phenomenon Glitterbox continues on Ibiza in 2025 - the island where it all began. Honouring the roots and culture at the heart of the scene, it's the safe-space where marginalised communities and the mainstream converge.
Launching here in 2013, Glitterbox's arrival heralded the start of a new strategy for Defected, which split its audience into two categories: entry-level and seasoned. Expect unbeatable energy, packed dancefloors, a tolerant mentality and plenty of unforgettable moments this summer.
When?
23:30 to 07:00 every Sunday night, from 11 May to 5 October
Where?
Hï Ibiza
Platja d'en Bossa, Sant Jordi de ses Salines, 07817 Open in Google Maps
Designed for tourists, Playa d'en Bossa is a seasonal resort on the east coast.
Thanks to its generous stretch of beach (Ibiza's longest) and close proximity to all three of the airport, Ibiza Town and the island's largest concentration of clubs, holidaymakers from Britain, Italy and Spain all gravitate here.
Both the beachfront and the main drag are lined with bars, but in all honesty, the clubs are that alluring you might as well skip any prelude and report straight to the dancefloor.
You can catch the L3B disco bus from San Antonio or the regular L14 line from Ibiza Town. There's a taxi rank right outside the club and several more further up the road.

Who?
Only the absolute masters of the scene - the DJs who've been around since day one (or near enough) and helped build the foundations of club culture. Guys and girls who are responsible for some of dance music's most timeless anthems. It's a conveyor belt of talent.
In The Theatre you can count on names such as Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, David Morales, Masters At Work, Basement Jaxx, Dave Lee (formerly Joey Negro), Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada and Kerri Chandler - all no doubt faces you'll be familiar with thanks to their contributions down the decades.
Therefore, there's a temptation to call Glitterbox a "retro" party, only it's so much more than that. It's also a place where you can catch DJs pushing the sound forward in the modern day. Kiddy Smile, Natasha Diggs, Myd, Jayda G and Ben Westbeech all have dates.
DJs with multiple bookings: Dimitri From Paris, The Shapeshifters, Purple Disco Machine, Melon Bomb, Horse Meat Disco, Melvo Baptiste

Also worth knowing
The first weekend in August is a particularly big date, as BBC Radio 1 makes its annual gatecrash. Buying tickets in advance is essential for this date. It's one of Ibiza's busiest of the whole summer.
Top tip: The Wild Corner toilet rave (pictured below) is always a hoot whichever night you attend Hï Ibiza. However, it just feels like it was conceived with Glitterbox in mind. Get a date with Melon Bomb in there, and it'll be a contender for the best night of your holiday.
How?
That's the easy bit: simply by heading below and securing your tickets.
For peace of mind, why not add insurance coverage for under €10 extra per ticket? This allows you to cancel up to 24 hours before the party starts for any reason, should your plans change. Insurance policyholders can then claim the full value of tickets back quibble-free.
Should you experience any difficulties, our helpful team are at the other end of the telephone or a quick email away.
Tickets for all dates are on sale now, apart from the special BBC Radio 1 Dance X takeover on 3 August. For tickets and info about that date, please visit this page.
