When it comes to heading to the party isle or Ibiza, the possibilities are endless. From afternoon beach parties day-to-night events, nighttime extravaganzas, partying is certainly the most popular thing to do on the island. However, a wonderful island that is built around music, you don’t have to go to one of these events to see the beauty of the island as there is a number of restaurants, activities, and historical places to further enhance your vacation. With so many things on offer, it’s super hard to do everything in one trip so Ibiza is certainly somewhere that you must visit multiple times to truly get to grips with the island. We had the pleasure of visiting the island this summer and here are the top 5 things we done on the island.

1. Café Mambo
Up first is probably the most iconic sunset and music location on the whole island. Located in Saint Antonio, Café Mambo has been a mainstay on the island for just under 30 years now. Enjoying incredible food and drinks by the beach, and viewing the sunset is not the only thing that this place has to offer as when the day turns to night they bring out some incredible acts to get the party started. Just this summer the likes of Fatboy Slim, Eric Prydz, Fisher, Claptone, Vintage Culture, and many more have graced the decks of the iconic Café Mambo window. With so much to offer Café Mambo is a must visit when your in Ibiza.

2. Hï Ibiza
From sunset, music, and drinks to the #1 nightclub in the world, Hï Ibiza is our first club on this list. With a star studded lineup of DJs performing every single night across 3 rooms, Hï Ibiza has something for everyone. The “Theatre” is the main room and plays hosts to the headliners, delivering massive tunes on a pumping soundsystem that is backed up with tremendous visuals and lightshows. In the Club Room we’ve got the supporting acts bringing a little more of an underground vibe with yet more amazing production on show. And if that wasn’t enough you can head to the Wild Corner toilets where there is another party taking place which just further adds to your clubbing experience. Each and every aspect of this place put together certainly makes it the best night club in the world.

3. Ushuaïa Ibiza
Up next we head to the beach club equivalent to Hï Ibiza with Ushuaïa. Day-to-night parties are the order of business for here and they certainly bring the biggest parties to the island. From elrow and ANTS to David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, and Martin Garrix, Ushuaïa is the place to be for the biggest names. A thumping sound system is accompanied by an incredible lightshow while the headliners play and if that wasn’t enough you might be lucky to catch incoming flights heading over the mainstage, a view that is mind-blowing.

4. Pacha
The next club up on this list is the gorgeous Pacha. An iconic venue on the island, Pacha was first founded in 1973 and since then has been on the top of the party scene in Ibiza. With its iconic cherry logo, this nightclub is instantly recognizable and with that kind of reputation you’ve got to impress people when they walk through the door and that is certainly delivered. Walking into the club you are introduced to an incredible venue that is packed with gorgeous décor that is both modern and vintage. This is accompanied by fantastic production from lights, sound, and performers, on top of some of the brightest house acts in the industry.

5. Amnesia
Certainly not a place to be forgotten about, Amnesia is a legendary nightclub that has played a pivotal role in shaping the island’s nightlife scene. With over four decades of history, Amnesia has become an iconic destination for partygoers from around the world. What sets Amnesia apart is its unique dual personality, divided into two distinct areas: the Terrace and the Club Room. The Terrace offers an open-air experience, where revelers can dance under the stars and witness mesmerizing sunrise moments. World-renowned DJs like Carl Cox and Paul van Dyk have graced the Terrace’s decks, creating unforgettable memories. Inside the Club Room, the energy reaches a fever pitch as the music pounds through a state-of-the-art sound system, and immersive visuals enhance the experience. With its rich history, exceptional music programming, and a vibe that embodies the spirit of Ibiza, Amnesia remains a must-visit destination for those seeking an unforgettable night of electronic music and dance.

Honorable mentions:
Away from the partying, we had the pleasure of visiting some more amazing spots on this island that deserve their own limelight but we can’t be here all day. Our first meal was at Cheekywun, an Asian infused restaurant that brings amazing food with an authentic and beautiful vibe. Up next we’ve got to mention the amazing STK, which offers up an additional experience that many restaurants don’t. From high end food and drinks, this place comes to life when the performers and music start. With dancers, live instrumentalists, and vocalists, there is something for everyone here. Our last but certainly not least place to mention is the incredible TRS Hotel where we had the pleasure of staying during our vacation. An all inclusive adult only hotel, this 5 star accommodation offers up a vibe that is both party and relaxing. Amazing food and drinks with customer service that is unrivalled, this hotel is incredible on its own but when you add its pool and their DJs that play each day, there can be almost nothing to complain about, other than the possibility of you liking the hotel too much to leave to see the rest of the island.

Overall the experience on this island was something that we can’t compare to anywhere else and we would 100% recommend visiting this place and we will certainly be heading back in the coming years to get another dose of this party isle.

Calvin Harris Sells Out Entire Australian Tour

Calvin Harris sells out entire 2027 Australian tour as 10-show run becomes the country’s largest electronic headline tour

After years of playing major Australian festivals, Calvin Harris is finally bringing a full headline tour to the country in 2027. What started with four dates has since expanded to 10 sold-out shows across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. More than 330,000 tickets have been sold, making it the largest electronic headline tour in Australian history.

From Australian Festivals to His First Headline Tour

Long before planning a tour of his own, Calvin Harris had already performed at some of Australia’s biggest dance festivals. He first appeared at Big Day Out in 2010 before returning for Stereosonic in 2011, 2012 and 2014. Years later, Festival X brought him back in 2019 and 2022, keeping his Australian appearances largely tied to major festival events.

When the 2027 tour was first announced, Calvin Harris was set to play just one show per city. Langley Park in Perth would open the run before stops at RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane and The Domain in Sydney. The original schedule would then finish at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne.

As demand increased in Sydney, Calvin Harris added more nights at The Domain, eventually taking the city to five consecutive shows from February 20 to 24. More than 150,000 tickets have been sold across those dates alone. No other headline act has previously played as many shows during one run at the venue.

Strong demand also brought two additional Melbourne dates at Flemington Racecourse, while Perth received a second show at Langley Park. Those additions took the original four-date tour to 10 shows, with Melbourne hosting the final night on February 28.

Calvin Harris Continues a Record-Breaking Year

The Australian response comes during a year in which Calvin Harris has already broken another major live record. In February 2026, an estimated 1.6 million people attended his Bloco Skol performance in São Paulo. Guinness World Records later recognised the event as the largest attendance for a DJ set by a single artist.

More than two decades into his career, Calvin Harris is now drawing audiences on a very different scale from his earlier Australian appearances. His previous visits placed him on festival lineups alongside dozens of other artists, while 2027 will mark the first time he has taken his own headline show across the country.

When the tour begins in February, it will also bring his relationship with Australian audiences into a new chapter. From Big Day Out and Stereosonic to Festival X, they have followed his career through some of the country’s biggest dance events. In 2027, they will finally experience Calvin Harris across a full Australian headline tour of his own.

Calvin Harris sets a Guinness World Record after performing to 1.6 million people at Bloco Skol in São Paulo, marking the largest attendance for a DJ set by a single artist

Few artists have had the kind of long-term impact on the electronic dance music scene that Calvin Harris has, with a career that has included major festival appearances at Coachella, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and Creamfields, as well as collaborations with Rihanna, Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith. His work has crossed electronic music and mainstream charts for years, but his latest achievement takes that success in a completely different direction. After performing to an estimated 1.6 million people at Bloco Skol in São Paulo, Harris has now officially earned a Guinness World Record for the largest attendance for a DJ set by a single artist.

Inside Calvin Harris’ Record-Breaking São Paulo Set

The performance took place on February 8, 2026, when Calvin Harris joined Bloco Skol during São Paulo’s pre-Carnival celebrations. The free event took over Rua da Consolação, where Calvin Harris performed from a traditional Brazilian trio elétrico near Avenida Paulista. It marked his first time performing on a trio elétrico and brought him back to Brazil after around a decade, alongside Brazilian artists Nattan, Xand Avião, Zé Vaqueiro and Felipe Amorim.

During the set, Calvin Harris wore a Brazil football shirt with “Calvinho” and the number 00 printed across the back while playing music from across his career. Guinness World Records lists This Is What You Came For, One Kiss, I Need Your Love and We Found Love among the tracks heard during the performance, as an estimated 1.6 million people gathered in central São Paulo. The Carnival setting also gave the Scottish producer a very different format from the festivals, arenas and residencies that have featured throughout his career.

A New Guinness World Record For Calvin Harris

That 1.6 million-person attendance is officially listed by Guinness World Records as the largest attendance for a DJ set by a single artist. The record page names Calvin Harris as the holder, with São Paulo, Brazil and February 8, 2026 recorded as the location and date of the achievement. The category applies specifically to a DJ set by one artist, giving the Bloco Skol performance its own place in the organization’s record database.

For additional context, Guinness World Records also notes that Madonna’s free Celebration Tour concert at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro attracted an estimated 1.6 million people on May 4, 2024. Reaching the same estimated attendance for a single DJ set puts the scale of Calvin Harris’ performance far beyond the audience size normally associated with festivals or stadium shows. Celebrating the recognition on social media, Calvin Harris wrote that he now held the world record for the category before adding, “only in Brazil!!!”

More than two decades into his career, the record gives Calvin Harris another major achievement alongside his international festival appearances, chart success and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. His Bloco Skol performance will now be remembered not only for bringing him back to Brazil, but for attracting an audience large enough to earn a place in Guinness World Records.

Head Trip announces set times for its debut festival at Empire Polo Club with Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex and more

Following Desert Trip in 2016 and Power Trip in 2023, Goldenvoice is returning to Empire Polo Club with Head Trip, a new one-time-only electronic music festival taking place in Indio on October 10–11. Its debut brings together Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, Under Construction, Peggy Gou b2b Four Tet, Dom Dolla b2b KETTAMA and more across one main stage, with the set times now confirmed for both days. Saturday will close with Under Construction followed by Calvin Harris, while Sunday brings Dom Dolla b2b KETTAMA, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia through the final part of the weekend. Floating Points’ Sunflower Sound System will also make its U.S. debut inside a dedicated dome, adding another element beyond the main-stage lineup.

A post shared by HEAD TRIP (@headtripindio)

With only nine main-stage performances across the weekend, Head Trip keeps its debut centered on a small group of major names and several notable collaborations. Saturday opens with Seth Troxler b2b Ben Sterling, before Peggy Gou b2b Four Tet and Under Construction, the project from FISHER and Chris Lake. Calvin Harris takes the final slot of the night, closing a first day where three of the four main-stage performances are b2bs.

Among them, Peggy Gou b2b Four Tet is one of the bookings worth watching most closely, bringing together two artists with very different histories across house and club music. Under Construction brings FISHER and Chris Lake back together for another major festival appearance, while Seth Troxler b2b Ben Sterling adds a deeper house and techno pairing earlier in the day. The schedule places the three collaborations at 4:30 PM, 7:20 PM and 9:10 PM, before Calvin Harris closes from 11:00 PM.

Sunday starts with DJ Harvey and The Blessed Madonna, before Dom Dolla b2b KETTAMA takes the 6:50 PM slot. Their set leads into Skrillex at 8:40 PM, followed by Swedish House Mafia from 10:30 PM. Between Dom Dolla b2b KETTAMA and two major closing performances, the final hours give Sunday some of the most anticipated names on the entire lineup, while DJ Harvey and The Blessed Madonna bring respected selectors into the earlier part of the day.

What Else Head Trip Has Planned

Alongside the main stage, Floating Points’ Sunflower Sound System will make its U.S. debut at Head Trip and continue throughout both days. The custom setup includes 10 speaker stacks, mycelium acoustic panels and artwork by Josephine Chime, with Floating Points also expected to DJ alongside special guests. For anyone attending, the dome is worth keeping on the radar alongside the headline performances, especially as one of the few parts of the weekend happening away from the main stage.

Visual production comes from Romain Pissenem and High Scream, whose previous work includes [UNVRS], Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games closing ceremony. Early previews released ahead of Head Trip have already shown the stage planned for Empire Polo Club, bringing another major production name into the festival’s debut weekend.

The Indio grounds also connect Head Trip with two earlier one-time events from Goldenvoice, after Desert Trip in 2016 and Power Trip in 2023. This edition turns the attention to electronic music, with four b2bs alongside Calvin Harris, Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia, DJ Harvey and The Blessed Madonna. Peggy Gou b2b Four Tet, Under Construction and Dom Dolla b2b KETTAMA are among the sets to watch, while the U.S. debut of the Sunflower Sound System gives attendees another reason to explore beyond the main schedule. With Goldenvoice presenting Head Trip as “2 nights. One stage. Just this once,” the festival has plenty to make its debut at Empire Polo Club one to watch on October 10–11.
