Since the summer of 1995, BBC Radio 1 has been touching down on the Spanish party island of Ibiza. 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.
For 2023, Radio 1 lands at 528 Ibiza (formerly Benimussa Park, which used to host The Zoo Project parties) for the first time for the opening night of the weekend on Friday 28 July.
Confirmed artists are (A-Z) Becky Hill, Eats Everything, FISHER, Hannah Wants, Jax Jones, LP Giobbi, The Martinez Brothers, Patrick Topping, Sam Divine and the R1 Dance family.
These acts and more will be spread over four outdoor stages: BBC R1 Dance, Radio 1 Dance Anthems, R1 Relaxed and BBC Introducing. These will open 16:00 to midnight with the action then moving indoors afterwards.
