How many times can we re-word 'we're getting closer' and 'we've got more news' ? You probably couldn't care less, as long as you're getting a weekly reminder that both of those things are happening in the form of an Ibiza Spotlight tap on the shoulder that says, "Oi you, yeah you sad face, we're comin'". The pace is picking up and the peak, where resident after venue after DJ after resident and so on begin to crash down at avalanche speeds, is becoming clearer into view. Until the landslide, we've got a nice, even spread of news across our beloved hotspots in case you missed them first time round.
House of Madness returns to Amnesia
Sunday fiestas at Amnesia are hands down some of the ballsiest of Balearic beings under the control of Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike. The brotherly Belgian duo has confirmed that House of Madness will make its return on 26th June and top-up the insanity every week until 28th September. Over the years we've seen huge stage productions with the Incredible Hulk and The Joker leering down while Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike's DJ sets rage on. Early bird tickets have been released and are still up for grabs.

Sundays at Space to replace We Love Space
Sundays at Space is now replacing the previously announced We Love Space. A new name, but with the same sole mission of giving a home to music heads who value their clubbing experiences as a time to unite and share their love with the rest of ‘em. For 16 weeks from 5th June, expect a dosage of nostalgia mixed with an emphasis on the present as we settle in to pay homage to the beloved institution in its final 27th year.
Insane returns to Pacha with Luciano for 2016
Luciano and his Cadenza Vagabundos tribe haven't abused the eyeliner on Pacha's floors for four years, so to have him back under a mini residency with homegrown underground fiesta Insane is big news. It's the fourth season for Insane and Insane presents Vagabundos will fall on seven dates, with the first being on the 20th May for the opening party. Insane's season will run from the aforementioned date until 7th October.
Together's second phase of artists
More bass and house selectors have been identified to be taking pole position at Together in 2016. It's a refreshing mix of in-demand groundbreakers and fresh on the scene shakers. In Amnesia's main room, where bass dominates, we have Andy C, Sub Focus, Sigma, Netsky and Mark Wilkinson. Onto the terrace where house music is the formula, the booth will be taken by Disciples, MK, Amine Edge & Dance, Claptone, Oliver Dollar and Shadow Child. You can still bag early tickets on a select number of dates throughout its season which runs from 7th June to 20th September.
ANTS preseason warm-ups
Before the colony awakens for the full summer season, we'll be getting a taster in mid-May with two sun-soaked sessions falling on consecutive Saturdays. 14th May and 21st May are the dates for Ushuaïa's underground preseason flirtation. No line-ups have been revealed yet, but joining the seminal party over the years has been Uner, Andrea Oliva, Kölsch, Maya Jane Coles and Ralph Lawson.
Cirque de la Nuit anchors in with Sankeys
Cirque de la Nuit is one of the biggest Ibiza boat parties with its 300 capacity strong catamaran loaded with a powerful VOID soundsystem. With a reputation like that, of course it's back for 2016 and it's partnering with Sankeys to include entrance to ANY night at the basement club. Enjoy a dosage of the underground across the ocean with resident DJ Ryan Platts and in the literal underground at Sankeys where its basement rooms will be loaded with quality music from Monday through to Sunday.
