Cocoon Ibiza full line-ups land

Oh Papa Sven, how you spoil us.

Today, we bring news that will make you want to grab your nearest pair of speedos and dive head first into the 2016 season - and trust us, the only thing we'd brave those icy Balearic waters for at this time of year is Cocoon, which has just revealed its line-ups for the entire season. So it's a case of jump first, think later.

Having confirmed its longest ever season at Amnesia, running for 19 dates from 30th May, Cocoon has so far only teased us with a tantalising glimpse of who's set to appear over the course of summer, as well as promising Dixon, Ilario Alicante, Gaiser and Slam for the opening party. But now, the news we have been waiting for is here, and finally we can start planning our lives around Monday nights, and how we'll continue with the rest of the week in a post-Cocoon slump.

Sven Väth and his team are heading into their seventeenth year with a mission to unify the dance floor, and when you've got musical legends on hand to assist, that shouldn't be a problem. Ricardo Villalobos will perform six exclusive shows this year, as will Cocoon favourite, Adam Beyer. Nina Kraviz, Sonja Moonear and tINI will all be in attendance over four weeks and Ilario Alicante will be heading up seven.

Full line-ups and names are below, but dates to highlight include 20th June - Villalobos' first appearance of the season, 27th June - Âme will play live, 4th July - get to grips with Papa Sven all night long, 11th July - Luciano will take the reins on the Terrace, 25th July - Solomun will be back for seconds, 15th August - Richie Hawtin will cast his spell, and 3rd October, when the best of the season will be showcased for our listening pleasure. In between all these dates there'll be appearances from DJ Koze, Mano Le Tough, Joris Voorn, KiNK live, Carl Craig, Zip, Ben UFO, Seth Troxler, Dubfire, Raresh, Ben Klock and many, many more.

It's hard to pick a favourite week with a line-up like that so we'll probably just cover all bases and go to every one of them. You should do the same.
