We're midway through September, which means the Ibiza season is officially entering the final straight.
Don't worry, there’s still plenty of life in the island's clubs yet. But with some of the summer's biggest residencies starting to reach their denouement, that familiar better get there before it’s gone feeling has started to creep in. Eek!
Here are the closing parties worth having on your radar, taking us right through the second half of September.
RESISTANCE Ibiza | Amnesia
Wednesday 16 September
RESISTANCE's nine week Amnesia run reaches its conclusion - and it's going out with serious firepower.
Both rooms are open for the closing, with two headline residents on the Terraza in Swede pairing Beyer and Prydz. The latter's return to Amnesia has already been one of the season's talking points, so having him back for the finale feels like a pretty fitting way to end things.
Line-up: Adam Beyer, Eric Prydz, Mind Against, Brina Knauss, I Hate Models, Nicole Moudaber, Juliet Fox
CUE | 528 Ibiza
Friday 18 September
After taking care of peak-season Sundays at Eden, Welsh outfit CUE heads to the hills for its closing. It brings its heads-down, dancefloor-focused sound to 528 Ibiza for a Friday night with the next generation of artists and band of resident DJs.
Line-up: Kepler, Dennis Quin, Job de Jong, Ryan Resso, Stef Davidse, Chopper, Lucas Alexander
FAC51: The Haçienda | Amnesia
Saturday 19 September
Manchester comes to Ibiza as FAC51: The Haçienda brings a serious slice of UK club heritage to Amnesia with Haçienda Classical in tow to perform orchestral versions of House music’s biggest ever tracks. Aside from that, the line-up features the best of The Haç’s residents, plus some of the artists whose music helped shape UK club culture from Stateside.
Line-up: Haçienda Classical (live), David Morales, Inner City (live), Todd Terry, Graeme Park, Mike Pickering, DJ Paulette, Alison Limerick (live PA)
SIN Sundays | O Beach Ibiza
Sunday 20 September
Those saucy Scouse deviants wrap up the fifth of five monthly outings at O Beach with more poolside antics from DJs Chris Wright, Billie Clements and friends. Allow your halo to slip and embrace the devil on your shoulder for this one.
There's no pretense at SIN Sundays - the party behaves exactly the way you'd expect it to.
Kaluki | 528 Ibiza
Sunday 20 September
Known for its trademark Tech House energy, which is has imported beyond the city limits of its Manchester home, Kaluki returns to 528 Ibiza one last time this summer. We consider that a suitably rowdy way to round off another summer on the White Isle.
Line-up: Teedee, Pirate Copy, Ranger Trucco, Tommy Phillips, Molly D
HUGEL presents Make The Girls Dance | Ushuaïa Ibiza
Sunday 20 September
Suave, sophisticated and, apparently, ill-content with attracting all the ladies to his Hï Ibiza residency, HUGEL is now pulling the fairer sex next door too! Make The Girls Dance is back at outdoor playground Ushuaïa Ibiza for a second time this summer.
At his last Ushuaïa takeover, our charming host brought out fellow Frenchman David Guetta as an unannounced guest, so who knows what surprises lie in store this time around?
Line-up: HUGEL, Jonas Blue, THEMBA
Joel Corry | O Beach Ibiza
Monday 21 September
Conspicuous by his absence last summer, Joel Corry returned to Ibiza like he'd never been away. Newly instated in a new home (O Beach), Joel has looked after monthly Mondays at the pool party perfector. By our reckoning, he's put his name in the shop window to go weekly next year.
If you miss this, he also headlines O Beach's Closing Party on 11 October.
Euphoria | Es Paradis
Tuesday 22 September
Euphoria dusts the cobwebs off the lasers to take over Es Paradis.
Playing the biggest summer anthems from the present, but also a substantial amount of high-energy classics that’ll take you right back, here is a party that unites generations of clubbers. Euphoria is back in business.
Line-up: Agnelli & Nelson, Dale Castell, Rob Tissera, Steve Kelly
Sven Väth presents Coocon | 528 Ibiza
Wednesday 23 September
We've been spoilt by three Cocoon adventures at 528 Ibiza this summer (sorry for those who missed out on the late-announced, free to enter second date in July). As good as the first two were, the September date was always going to the big one.
Just as it did this time last year, Cocoon is again set to be the biggest party in venue's history, thanks to the addition of a fifth stage. It will take some topping to be spoken in the same breath as 2024 or 2025, but if anyone can do, Sven and co. can.
Line-up: Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, DJ Hell, Cassy
Sam Divine presents 555 | Cova Santa
Wednesday 23 September
Sam Divine has more Ibiza seasons under her belt than most and, in the big year of 2026, she decided to step out from the shadow of Defected and launch her own venture. The fourth of her four 555 parties graces outdoor Cova Santa to tie-up another summer on the White Isle.
Line-up: Sam Divine, Dusky, Joëlla Jackson, Easttown, Marco Lys, Ruze
The Kevin & Perry Experience | Amnesia
Wednesday 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 fifth 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.
ITE 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. This year comes with the promise of a cameo from film antagonist Eyeball Paul! Exactly what that entails, you have to attend to find out.
Line-up: Dave Pearce, Ian Van Dahl, N-Trance, Signum, Lange, Seb Fontaine, Ultrabeat
Martin Garrix | Ushuaïa Ibiza
Thursday 24 September
For many years, we talked about Martin Garrix as the "boy wonder" - the plucky young kid who displayed talent and aura well beyond his years. But there's no point pretending anymore. The Dutch superstar is not only long a man, but also a verifiable Ibiza veteran.
Now, that makes us feel old. But should you want to relive you youth (or maybe you just have the fortune of still being young), you should get to his Ushuaïa closing party.
SHINE Ibiza Open Air | 528 Ibiza
Thursday 24 September
After last year's flip to 528 Ibiza, SHINE Ibiza is back at the sprawling hillside estate for another standalone date. With Paul van Dyk yet again at the wheel, prepare yourself for timeless Trance anthems shared under the Balearic September skies.
The SHINE Ibiza Open Air edition kicks off outdoors from 18:00 to 23:00, before the energy shifts inside to 528’s intimate club space, which runs until very late. For our money, this could end up being the highlight of Ibiza Trance Event week.
Let's bring back the energy of the old Captured Festival.
Line-up: Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Bryan Kearney, Ciaran McAuley, Seb Fontaine, Stephen Kirkwood
HUGEL presents Make The Girls Dance | Hï Ibiza
Thursday 24 September
A second appearance for HUGEL, as he brings the curtain down on season number two at Hï Ibiza. Just like last year, he's had more than a little assistance from Miss Monique in room two. Together, they have made the girls dance (and made the guys dance, too!)
One more dance, mon ami?
Adriatique present X | [UNVRS]
Thursday 24 September
Adrian #1 and Adrian #2 are rewarded for their winter exploits in Dubai with a pair of X shows during closing party season. This, the second of the two date, sees them compile fellow respected names from the Melodic Techno realm, but the special effects at the world's first hyper-club are going to be just as awe-inspiring as the music.
Line-up: Adriatique (extended set), Mano Le Tough, Emanuel Satie
Hot Creations | Bora Bora
Friday 25 September
Awards aren't usually given out for the most influential records labels in Ibiza history. If they were, Hot Creations would be right amongst the contenders. Jamie Jones' label is back for its fourth and final outing at the newly remodelled Bora Bora Apartments at the end of the month.
Have they saved the best until last? That hinges on the special guest, I suppose. Who's your money on? Things continue after dark with Créche inside neighbouring Playa Soleil.
Line-up: Special guest TBA, Patrick Topping, Lee Foss, Miguel Campbell, Alexis Raphael
Markus Schulz: Open To Close | Eden
Friday 25 September
Just like last year, Markus Schulz swoops into Eden to play open-to-close, all night long.
The Coldharbour Records boss has played the last four Thursdays, so any suggestion he's switched the final date to Friday to conveniently assimilate into the ITE schedule is an accusation that we can't possibly comment on the veracity of!
Line-up: Markus Schulz (all night long)
MANUMISSION | 528 Ibiza
Saturday 26 September
For years, it seemed as though the legacy of MANUMISSION would be tarnished by repeated attempts to revive it in some loose, convoluted way. The difference this year, being that it actually holds the MANUMISSION name and - with the original team behind it back together - all the signs points to it being the real deal (or, at least, a 2026 version worthy of the name).
Don't expect the same kind of scenes we saw in the '90s. Those antics are best left in the past. What we can guarantee is a saucepot, cock-a-hoop extravaganza with everything and the kitchen sink thrown at it. The DJ line-up is largely under wraps, but a few names are out.
Line-up: David Morales, Carl Craig, many more TBA on the day
Godskitchen | Amnesia
Saturday 26 September
Godskitchen, the seminal club brand from the West Midlands, was a leading force in the "super-club" era and needs no introduction. Now, over 25 years later, one of Trance music's most cherished parties is slowly cementing itself as a pivotal part of ITE as it returns to Amnesia.
The full club takeover sees Trance legends spread across both rooms. This is a resurrection of biblical proportions - and one we can all get behind. Even though the controversial rebranding of God's iconic angel logo perplexed a few of the old guard, it's still cookin' up a storm.
Line-up: Fergie, Ferry Corsten, John O'Callaghan, Jordan Nocturne, Lisa Lashes, Paul van Dyk, Tall Paul
Ibiza Spray | O Beach Ibiza
Sunday 27 September
Water cannons? Check. Champagne sprays? Check. Swimming costume? Check.This isn't a party for the introverts, the anally-retentive, the anxious or the squeamish. Be prepared to get soaked! There's no point cowering. The only way is the embrace the oncoming tide.
The only thing loaded just as much as the agua, are the tunes. Bangin'.
Bass Jamz | 528 Ibiza
Sunday 27 September
Alll the way from Newcastle and headed up by gen-Z power couple Gaskin and Ellia Jaya, Bass Jamz has really cemented itself as a key piece of the programme at 528 Ibiza in 2026. To close out what has been a second successful season for the upcoming brand, the lovebirds have invited a line-up worthy of a closing party join them.
Line-up: Gaskin, Sidney Charles, L.P. Rhythm, Ellia Jaya
Judgement Sundays | Es Paradis
Sunday 27 September
During the golden age of Trance, Judgement Sundays held the distinction on being San Antonio's most popular party. Such was the gravitational pull of the genre back then, the party mopped up the town's holidaymakers as well as attracting an influx from other resorts.
Times change, as they have a habit of doing, and Judge Jules departed Radio 1 and semi-retired from DJing. But you know the thing with nostalgia - it's a helluva drug! For one night only, the party returns to Es Paradis with The Judge and a string of former residents.
Line-up: Judge Jules, Scott Bond, Tristan Ingram, Vicky Devine
Stay tuned for part three coming soon. Part one can be viewed here.
Tickets for everything listed above can be found on our definitive party calendar.
