Ooooh, we do love a rogue booking. One that makes us sit up and realise that Ibiza still has the ability to surprise us, in the most pleasant of ways. The next piece of news is one of those...
Traditionally, the start of August is always the island braces itself for the oncoming storm of Fatboy Slim. An elrow appearance here, a takeover of Freddies at Pikes there and a sunset at Café Mambo thrown in for good measure. Some scripts write themselves.
2026 looks to be no different to the norm, for the, erm, Norm. Mr. Cook's larger-than-life alter-ego has a date secured for [UNVRS] as well as a debut at 528 Ibiza.
That won't be all. On this year's whistlestop visit, Fatboy Slim is venturing north, marching those shoeless feet all the way to San Carlos for an unexpected return to Las Dalias.
Last seen there over International Music Summit (IMS) weekend in 2024 to mark the 500th release of Southern Fried Records.
We always imagined that was a one-time deal, but we're thrilled to be proven wrong.
Fatboy Slim is back in the garden to headline the outdoor leg of Nido on Sunday 16 August.
The best part? Admission is completely free. You read that right. There is no entrance fee to enter the garden between opening at 19:00 to when it shuts at 23:00. Want more good news? Under 18s are welcomed when accompanied by a responsible adult. It's a family affair.
Tickets are only required if you intend to stay on for the club night at Akasha afterwards, which is adult-only and runs from 23:00 until the early hours.
Unless you coming with kids in tow, there's a high likelihood you're going to want to continue partying afterwards. Because, as certain as night follows day, Fatboy Slim is going to whip Las Dalias into a frenzy.
Airhorns, personal mash-ups and Hawaiian shirts - he'll be bringing the whole shebang.
