IMS Grand Finale announces back-to-back partnerships and running order
Get ready, because Ibiza 2026 is now within touching distance. We're just a fortnight away from the season booting off - and the same distance until one of the best parties of the year. IMS Grand Finale only happens once a year. The annual fixture is the curtain-raiser to summer.
The alfresco day party that takes place within the medieval walls of our Dalt Vila Old Town is a cornerstone of our clubbing calendar. Once it finishes, all the super-clubs start their own opening parties one-by-one.
Although the individual names have been out for weeks, International Music Summit (IMS) has now announced the back-to-back partnerships and running order. That means we can really start getting excited about it.
Headline act Faithless Sound System will shut things down, playing the final hour before the midnight curfew.
Immediately before them, Elliot Schooling & Liam Palmer, whose Appetite brand is hosting this year's party, pair with L.P. Rhythm. That will give us a snapshot as to where underground House music is in 2026.
Ahmed Spins, Ankhoï and Mayssa form the party's only three-way b2b, while Eliza Rose and Olive F bring glamour and musical astuteness in equal measure with their pairing. To start the day, burgeoning talent Delilah warms up with a solo set from 17:00, followed by polymath Jazzy.
How could we almost forget a staple of the programme? IMS co-founder and veteran broadcaster Pete Tong MBE shares the booth with US duo Indo Warehouse. You can view the full schedule above.
Once IMS Grand Finale finishes, there's nothing stopping us: it's all systems go for another summer of clubbing on the world's number one party island. Maybe you can begin to appreciate why it's such an important milestone and why we hold it so dearly to our heart.
Final tickets for Dalt Vila are on sale now and can be purchased below. Tickets are also on sale for the official After Party, which takes place a short walk away at nearby Chinois Ibiza. For tickets and info to that, please visit this page. Both parties are ticketed separately.
