Your eyes do not deceive you. We really have reached that time of year again. Peak summer is in the rear-view mirror, and September has officially arrived. Closing parties are already happening with the rest imminent.
Ask any worker and most will say that September is the best time of the season to experience the world's favourite party island. The humidity of August has vanished, the clubs are less heaving and island promoters pull out all the stops to programme the best parties of the year.
We just love September.
The weeks ahead are packed with fiercely competitive line-ups, and there's a lot to get through. To make things easier, here's our guide to the second round of September's closing parties, taking place in the latter half of the month between 16 and 28 September.
Pikes Presents | 528 Ibiza
Tuesday 16 September
During summer 2025, this party has redefined clubbing in the modern era, by rolling back the years and adopting the principles of old. Simple, really. Pikes Presents at 528 Ibiza has been a standout party of the year, with its daytime prowess and no phone policy winning over clubbers of all ages.
To finish off with an epic bang, it's coming in hot to link up with La Discothèque for a closing party that welcomes headliners Basement Jaxx to Benimussa Hills on the outskirts of San Antonio.
Line-up: Basement Jaxx (DJ set), DJ Paulette
I Love Reggaeton | Ushuaïa Ibiza
Tuesday 16 September
Reggaeton's ascent continues as the global Latin music genre known for its rhythmic dembow beats is starting to reach audiences far beyond its humble origins. Artists like J Balvin, Bad Bunny and Mike Towers are fast becoming household names, even outside Hispanic communities.
Over the last few years especially, we have seen crowds like never before come together to experience Reggaeton parties on Ibiza. Let’s just say, fans of the genre aren’t here to mess about. Everyone is FULLY involved.
Utilising Ushuaia's festival-sized stage, I Love Reggaeton will take over for one date only with a huge line-up yet TBA. On the day, the music will meet huge production, sunshine and 10/10 vibes.
SlapFunk Records | Chinois Ibiza
Tuesday 16 September
Rewind to a decade ago in Utrecht and a young group of music lovers needed a safe place to party and listen to a particular kind of underground music they were obsessed with. Today, Minimal mainstay SlapFunk has become a respected institution for real ravers around Europe.
After a one-off party earlier this summer in collaboration with Pikes Presents, SlapFunk travels to the intimate confines of Chinois Ibiza this September, where it'll bring some party residents and special guests together under one roof.
Line-up: Dungeon Funk (Dungeon Meat & Samuel Deep), Laidlaw b2b Mella Dee, Samuel Deep b2b Saoirse, Yass & Mali

Entry is completely free - no need to register your interest. Simply turn up anytime from 19:00 to 23:00. Just bring your smile and your dancing feet (and remember to support local businesses and dispose of your litter responsibly).
RESISTANCE Ibiza | Amnesia
Wednesday 17 September
After making a killer comeback this year at Amnesia, underground Techno party RESISTANCE will close out a solid season with one final full club takeover.

Line-up: Adam Beyer, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Mind Against, Massano, Chris Avantgarde, Kitty Amor
Todd Terry presents Freeze Project | Eden
Wednesday 17 September
Down the years, we've spent many a night in the company of Todd Terry at Eden. Yet (somewhat surprisingly) it has taken until 2025 for him to launch his first official island residency. This summer saw him stand directly in the limelight as the mastermind behind Freeze Project.
Almost forty years since he first started out in the business, the NYC House music legend is closing out his first official Ibiza residency at the San Antonio club, playing all night long.
Line-up: Todd Terry (all night long)
All Day I Dream | Las Dalias
Thursday 18 September
Wherever All Day I Dream lands around the world, it remains committed to transporting its community of 'dreamers' into a heightened state. With floaty visuals and hypnotic music all piloted by Mr. Lee Burridge, we can't wait to experience ADID for one last time this summer.
Having held just one exclusive party so far on Ibiza in 2025, it now plans to see out the summer with one more fiesta in the beautiful surroundings of the Las Dalias' garden and intimate Akasha club.
Line-up: Lee Burridge, Double Touch, Lost Desert, Khen, Igor Marijuan
HUGEL presents Make The Girls Dance | Hï Ibiza
Thursday 18 September
For a large proportion of Thursdays this summer, the Theatre of Hï Ibiza has belonged to Latin House instigator HUGEL.
With crossovers between Afro, Latin and classic House, his Make The Girls Dance residency reflects the output of his record label with high levels of swagger. Just take a look at his viral supermarket set to see what he's all about.

Line-up: HUGEL, Miss Monique, Roger Sanchez, GROSSOMODDO
neXup recz | 528 Ibiza
Friday 19 September
Not so much a residency closing, more a one off party sandwiched by an array of closings, but we still have to mention Max Dean's takeover of 528 Ibiza with his trademarked neXup recz label. The brand name says it all: neXup is all about championing the next generation of talent and propelling them to the spotlight.
The Dean clan are joined by a solid crew and usual entourage of next gen artists.

Saturdays | 528 Ibiza
Saturday 20 September
One for the old school ravers, Saturdays at 528 Ibiza have been claimed by Andy McKay AKA Andy Manumission this summer (if you’ve never heard of MANUMISSION, chances are you're too young for this one!)
He's been back with another music-orientated, dancefloor focused, zero camera-use policy disco, where both local and international DJs have been deployed to effectiveness.
With the venue's famous outdoor terrace opening from 19:00 to 23:00 and the club from 23:00 to 04:00, over the last few months some great DJs synonymous with Ibiza have taken to the decks. For the closing, it's no different.

Secret Sessions by the Beach | Playa Soleil
Saturday 20 September
Ssssh! It's a secret... well, not anymore! The secret is well and truly out of the bag. After surviving on the fringes of legality, Secret Sessions is putting its big boy hat on and growing up. No more trying to stay two paces ahead of the authorities. This reformed character is going legit.
Secret Sessions drops by the beach at Playa Soleil for a one-off party on the sands of Playa d'en Bossa. The DJs amassed include Wheats, Evie and Molly D, with a special guest TBA rumoured to be from the Solid Grooves/Kaluki camp. Okay, so there's still some secrecy.
BRESH | Amnesia
Saturday 20 September
One for Latin lovers everywhere, BRESH is Ibiza's colourful fiesta for feisty Reggaeton rhythms and body-popping grooves. Although the Argentinian party travels far and wide, from London to Milan, it's only at Amnesia on Ibiza where you can experience it once a week.
This summer has seen BRESH invite Bizarrap and Bad Gyal, amongst many others. Who know which surprise guests will show up unannounced at the closing? Be there to find out.
SIN Sundays | O Beach Ibiza
Sunday 21 September

Oh Yes, Oh Yes! Our king Carl Cox has taken back his righteous throne this year after catapulting himself back, not only into an Ibiza residency, but at the biggest club in the world.

To close out what has been a memorable summer in his decades-spanning career, he gives one final crow with a 50:50 male to female ratio'd line-up of Tech House talent. Just like the opening party, Coxy goes back-to-back with Nic - like the ol' Space Terrace days.

Line-up: Charlotte de Witte, more TBA
Clubland | Eden
Monday 22 September
After many years in the wilderness, famed party brand Clubland dusted off the cobwebs and returned to Eden Ibiza for a special one-off last year. Off the back of that success, the party locked in for a 2025 one-off in June. Now it returns to launch Ibiza Trance Event.
Playing the biggest summer anthems from the present, but also a substantial amount of high-energy Clubland classics that’ll throw you right back, this is a party that unites generations of clubbers.

Line-up: East End Dubs (extended set), Alisha, Julian Fijma
The Kevin & Perry Experience | Amnesia
Tuesday 23 September
All they wanted to do, was "do it" - and who are we to deprive them of such a benign request? Unbelievably, we're now into the fourth year of Kevin & Perry's doppelgangers entertaining us with their rubber-faced, over-exaggerated send-ups and, no, we aren't sick of it yet.
Ibiza Trance Event hits full steam at Amnesia with another two room takeover from the stars of a film who wooed a whole new generation of Ibiza lovers.
Line-up: Chicane, Paul Oakenfold, SASH!, Lange, Seb Fontaine
Craig David's TS5 Pool Party | Ibiza Rocks
Wednesday 24 September
Is it hot out here or is it Craig David's TS5 pool party? Smooth crooner Craig David puts on a final swoon-worthy show of R&B grooves both behind the decks and on the mic, sending hips winding across the Ibiza Rocks dancefloor.

Line-up: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Lost Frequencies, Konstantin Sibold
Sven Väth presents Cocoon | 528 Ibiza
Wednesday 24 September
This time last year, there was one party which was on the tip of everyone's tongue - and it's fair to say it lived up to expectations. The votes are in and it's unanimous: Cocoon was the party of 2024 - and largely down to the engaging crowd it attracted more than anything else.
The line-up was pretty special too. Somehow, this year's edition manages to eclipse the last. Sven, Richie and Dettmann are all back, but the line-up has been flushed out with more exciting additions added to the mix. Plus, we get two rooms of music for this year's after-dark session.
Set to be the biggest ever party at the location now known as 528 Ibiza, it's gonna be colossal.
Line-up: Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Marcel Dettmann, Gerd Janson, Krystal Klear, Scenarios

Friday 26 September
Instead of chasing the latest hype train, Man Power, Ewan McVicar and The Brothers Grim flipped the script in 2025 with a fresh new collab: OFF BRAND. No influencers, no faux VIP and no fast-fashion trends. This was the real deal, even if the name was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Subsequently, they’ve brought four nights of proper music and club culture to Akasha, up in Ibiza's hippyesque northern quarters. One more party remains in the series - and it follows the same high calibre of programming as the others. One for the musos and purists.
