Mysterious golden-masked maestro Claptone returns to one of Ibiza’s most intimate sonic temples, Chinois Ibiza in 2026.
After a debut season that turned Saturdays there into a highly respected peak-weekend option last year, The Masquerade is back. Coming as no surprise, this year’s residency runs from 16 May to 10 October building on last summer's run.
The Masquerade leans into the mystery that has always surrounded our affable host's artistry.
The night quickly established itself as one of Ibiza’s most dependable Saturday outings. With a more sophisticated crowd and fewer distractions from digital devices, make no mistake, the people came to Chinois to dance.
Once there, they were guided by Claptone's unmistakable blend of Deep House, radio-friendly hits and remixes of dance classics.
His catalogue alone explains why it works so effortlessly.
Albums like Charmer (2015) reveal his knack for crafting rich, textured soundscapes, while Fantast (2018) and Closer (2021) dive deeper into club-ready energy without losing warmth or soul.
More recently, he’s been reimagining timeless tracks, such as Mylo's Drop The Pressure, Rune RK's Calabria and Chicane’s Trance anthem Saltwater.
This summer, the Masquerade vision sharpens.
Expect longer sets, hand-picked line-ups, rotating special guests and subtle surprises that build on the success of year one.
Same mask, deeper groove. Saturdays at Chinois doing exactly what they’re meant to: make you dance. If you want to be amongst the crowd, head below and secure your tickets.
