Legendary Ibiza Nightclub Closures Extended
Ibiza’s renowned nightclub scene, famous for its extravagant “closing” parties, is experiencing an unusual twist in 2023. Traditionally, the closing parties mark the end of the party season on the island, but this year, they are stretching over nearly three weeks, a significant departure from the norm. Here’s what you need to know about this year’s extended closing season in Ibiza.
An Unusual Timeline
Normally, the closing parties in Ibiza begin in late August and continue through mid-September. However, this year’s schedule is markedly different. The first closing party took place on August 25th with Calvin Harris bidding farewell at Ushuaïa. The last events are scheduled for October 15th, featuring parties at Club Chinois and Solomun+1 in Pachá, among others.
This extended timeline means that the party season in Ibiza will last nearly three more weeks than usual, offering both residents and tourists an extended opportunity to celebrate the end of the season.
Upcoming Highlights
As the extended closing season unfolds, here are some of the notable parties to look forward to:
HOLO by Eric Prydz at Hï – September 4th
Hï Ibiza is hosting the final HOLO party of 2023, headlined by Eric Prydz. After this event, there will be a brief hiatus from closing parties until September 14th.
September 29th – A Night to Remember
September 29th is a pivotal date for closing parties, with four farewell events happening simultaneously on the island. Highlights include David Guetta and Morten’s Future Rave at Hï and the beloved Children of the 80’s at Ushuaïa. The night before, on September 28th, Sven Väth will close Akasha-Las Dalias.
October 1st – The Month’s Kickoff
The month of October starts with a bang as Woomoon at Cova Santa and Glitterbox at Hï host their closing parties.
October 9th – CircoLoco’s Farewell
On October 9th, DC10 will celebrate its last CircoLoco event of the year.
October 13th-15th – Grand Finales
The closing season culminates with three nonstop days of music and dancing from October 13th to 15th. During this time, you can experience the final parties of the summer, including Music On at Destino and Pacha, Claptone The Masquerade at Pacha, and the grand closing events at Amnesia and Club Chinois.
An Extended Celebration
With only four days in October without closing parties (October 6th, 10th, 11th, and 12th), the island will be alive with music and celebration well into the fall. This extended closing season is a unique opportunity for revelers to savor the magic of Ibiza’s nightlife for a few more weeks.
As the island’s legendary clubs gear up for these extraordinary closing parties, it’s clear that Ibiza’s reputation as the ultimate party destination remains as vibrant as ever. So, if you’re planning to experience the iconic Ibiza closing parties, make sure to check the updated schedule and get ready for an unforgettable extended celebration in the world’s party capital.
