Since the summer of 1995, BBC Radio 1 has touched down annually on the Spanish party island of Ibiza. For 2024, Radio 1 returns to 528 Ibiza (formerly Benimussa Park, which used to host The Zoo Project parties) for the opening night of the weekend.
Conceived by veteran broadcaster Pete Tong, the legendary weekender has become an institution which shows no signs of slowing down as it approaches its third decade. The annual pilgrimage is a rite of passage for Radio 1's young listener base.
For many of them, this will be their first experience of Ibiza - and what an introduction.
Taking place in peak summer, with school, college and university holidays well underway, the island is already firing on all cylinders, the temperature is at its hottest and the dancefloors at their craziest.
Names such as Judge Jules and Dave Pearce have given way to Annie Mac and Danny Howard, but despite the changing faces, the sense of expectation remains as intoxicating as it ever has.
Just like every summer, the weekend spans multiple locations.
The confirmed acts for this year are (A-Z) Alex Mills, Armand Van Helden, Azzecca, Belters Only, Ben Hemsley, CAMELPHAT, D.O.D., Dom Dolla, Gorgon City, Jazzy (live PA), Jess Bays, Kelli-Leigh (live PA), LF System, Oden & Fatzo (live), Shermanology, Sim0ne and the Radio 1 Dance family.
BBC Radio 1 Dance Live takes place on Friday 2 August.

After we're finished at 528, we continue into the night at nearby Eden with the official BBC Radio 1 Dance Live After Party. For tickets and more info, please visit this page.
