Pacha Ibiza Remains Central to the Experience

The Music On residency continues to find its home inside one of the island’s most recognised venues. Pacha Ibiza is more than just a club; it is a landmark within international nightlife, with more than 50 years of history and a reputation for hosting long-format events built around music-first principles. Its layout, programming, and attention to detail allow artists to take their time and control the direction of each night without limits.

What to Expect from the 2025 Run

Music On has always been about a complete season, not just a handful of big names. It’s a weekly commitment to high-level programming with room for experimentation and deeper cuts. Marco Carola’s role as host remains central, but the surrounding lineups are what continue to bring new faces to the dance floor each week. Whether it’s a B3B night in August or the inclusion of artists making their Pacha debuts, each event has been designed with purpose.

For clubbers looking to return to Ibiza or experience it for the first time, the Music On calendar continues to offer one of the most direct connections to the island’s clubbing roots.
