Roger Sanchez And Nic Fanciulli To Headline Ibiza Global Festival 2023!
With this year’s hotly anticipated Ibiza Global Festival a few weeks away, the team behind the electronic music showcase has revealed the full line-up for the annual experience.
Internationally renowned DJs Roger Sanchez and Nic Fanciulli will be headlining with an extensive roster of global talent across Day 1 and Day 2 respectively at the island’s free party set on the the shores of San Antonio’s S’Arenal beach. Taking place on August 11th and 12th, over 20,000 expected festival goers will be treated to a packed programme of international and island favourite DJs performing from 5pm until 1am each day.
The event will be admission-free and bring a wide array of international and local artists together and, of course, Ibiza Global’s very own resident DJs to a massive stage overlooking the beach and the vibrant Balearic Sea. Taking place across the weekend, the key message of the event is to promote an eco-conscious lifestyle with the support of leading DJs and performers from the global electronic music scene.
Ibiza Global Radio CEO Daniele Luppino says, “Last year we took on the challenge to bring a free two-day electronic music festival to Ibiza for the first time, and we were immensely proud to see how well it was received by the island. With 15,000 electronic music lovers dancing on San Antonio’s largest beach on each day, we set the bar high for this season – but I have every faith that we can deliver and exceed expectations, again.”
The Ibiza Global Festival will be more than just a celebration of electronic music. This year, the festival proudly announces its renewed commitment to sustainability and the environment, introducing a series of eco-friendly initiatives to further preserve the island’s natural beauty and encourage positive action against pollution.
The team from Amistat Island Hostels will once again supply a team of eco-conscious volunteers to keep S’Arenal beach clean throughout the two-day event. Alongside an exciting new partnership for 2023, eco-friendly water brand Soul Water is set to keep revellers well hydrated with their naturally sourced mineral water, which is recognised with distinctive, eternally recyclable cans.
Initiatives include:
Beach Cleaning Volunteers: The Ibiza Global Festival will engage a dedicated team of beach cleaning volunteers. These environmental heroes will strive to keep the island’s beaches free from waste, raising awareness amongst the public sharing the importance of preserving our marine environment.
Goodbye to Single-Use Plastic: The “Zero Cups and Plastic Bottles, Zero Straws” initiative aims to completely eliminate the use of single-use plastic during the event. Biodegradable and compostable materials will be introduced for cups and utensils, significantly reducing the impact of plastic waste on the island.
Dancers for the Environment: Participants will have the opportunity to actively join the fight against pollution while dancing. Volunteers equipped with special backpacks will collect plastic waste found during the festival, demonstrating that passion for music can co-exist with a commitment towards environmental care.
Environmental Awareness: From Monday 8th leading up to the festival, Ibiza Global Radio will be interviewing DJs from Bye Bye Plastic about sustainability within the music industry.
The Ibiza Global Festival 2023 is determined to execute on its sustainability targets by actively calculating the event’s environmental impact. This calculation will include the festival’s energy consumption, water usage and CO2 emissions. Based on this assessment, the festival will tally up its ecological debt. To balance the ecological ledger, an equivalent number of trees will be planted in an area of Ibiza that was affected by a major fire last year. Aiming to rejuvenate the natural balance.
With this comprehensive approach to sustainability, the Ibiza Global Festival aims to set an example for other events worldwide and inspire positive environmental action across the broader music industry. Although the festival is not entirely plastic free, the Ibiza Global team are working towards this goal with a long term strategy and have actively partnered with Bye Bye Plastic, a foundation dedicated to removing single-use plastics in the music industry to ensure correct steps are taken. This is another positive move towards making the festival as sustainable as possible, whilst also sharing a consistent message of eco-consciousness and sustainability with pride.
Ibiza Global Festival’s main partner and hospitality expert, O Beach Ibiza, will be managing the bars on the event site. With a dedicated street food area serving food from a variety of vendors to keep revellers energised for the full 14-hour dance marathon. The weekend promises a selection of artists that ranges across House, Deep House, Tech House and Techno genres, as well as encompassing an array of amazing live acts. Previous sponsor MDLBEAST Records, a trailblazing platform championing culture, creative expression and electronic music in the Middle East returns to bring Saudi Arabia’s emerging talent to the White Isle.
This year’s festival will be supported by technical partners Sonitec and Funktion-One: quality at the maximum level. For those unable to attend, Ibiza Global platforms including 100.8 FM Radio, TV and social media channels will broadcast the event live.

GTA VI To Feature Dedicated Dance And Electronic Radio Stations
GTA VI to feature dedicated dance and electronic radio stations as Rockstar reveals its biggest in-game radio selection yet
For more than two decades, Rockstar Games has used radio to give Grand Theft Auto its own musical identity, from Flash FM in Vice City to Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM and Radio Mirror Park in GTA V. Grand Theft Auto VI will expand that tradition with the biggest and widest-ranging in-game radio selection in the series so far. Dance and electronic music will each have dedicated stations, alongside classic rock, modern hip-hop, pop, metal, Latin, ’80s, blues and ballads. Talk radio and podcasts will form part of the wider selection too.

Dance And Electronic Music Get Dedicated Stations
Electronic music already has a strong presence across the series. Soulwax FM, FlyLo FM, Worldwide FM and The Music Locker Radio have covered house, techno, experimental electronic music and underground club sounds. GTA VI will now give dance and electronic music their own stations, opening the door for a broader range of styles across the game.
Rockstar Games has not yet announced the station names, hosts or tracklists, leaving plenty unknown about how the two will differ musically. One could focus more heavily on house, club and dancefloor records. The other could cover a wider range of electronic sounds, although Rockstar Games has not confirmed those details.
Electronic Music Has Long Been Part Of GTA
Electronic music has also played a larger role across GTA beyond its radio stations, particularly through GTA Online. Keinemusik, Palms Trax and Moodymann have all performed at The Music Locker, while Joy Orbison hosted Still Slipping Los Santos. Updates to FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM also expanded the electronic music available inside the game.
In 2021, Rockstar Games expanded that connection by partnering with CircoLoco to launch CircoLoco Records. The label has since released music from Rampa, Moodymann, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Tale Of Us. Its catalogue also includes Sama’ Abdulhadi, DJ Tennis and Kerri Chandler. More recently, 2026 releases have involved Michael Bibi, KETTAMA, ANOTR, Prospa, Cloonee and Jimi Jules.
GTA VI Is Expanding Its Music Offering
Alongside the in-game radio, Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album will add another major music component to the game. The official 34-track soundtrack includes artists across several genres and extends the musical scope of GTA VI beyond the stations heard while exploring Vice City and Leonida.
Electronic music is represented there too, with Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy among the artists involved. Other names include PinkPantheress, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Yung Lean, Future, Metro Boomin and Travis Scott. Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro and Keith Richards also feature.
More GTA VI Radio Stations Are Still To Be Revealed
Rockstar Games has already previewed Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. However, the company has yet to announce the names of the dedicated dance and electronic stations. Their hosts and full tracklists also remain under wraps.
With Grand Theft Auto VI set to be released on November 19, 2026, more details about its electronic music selection are still expected. DJs, club culture, specialist stations and CircoLoco Records have already become part of Rockstar Games’ wider music world. Now, GTA VI’s dedicated dance and electronic stations could add another chapter to that history.

deadmau5 Takes Over Red Rocks For Halloween
deadmau5 takes over Red Rocks for Halloween on October 30 and 31 with two special shows and the return of mau5hop
For more than 15 years, deadmau5 has returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre each fall, with the Colorado venue becoming a regular part of his seasonal live shows. This year, that tradition reaches a new point as he performs at Red Rocks on Halloween itself for the first time, with DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN taking place on October 30 and 31. The two-night event will feature VOWWS, joined by Josh Freese and Danny Lohner, alongside special visuals, selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. The weekend will also include the return of the mau5hop pop-up in Denver, with exclusive merchandise, collectibles and meet-and-greet sessions across both days.

VOWWS Joins deadmau5 For The Halloween Shows
VOWWS will join deadmau5 across the two nights, with Josh Freese and Danny Lohner also part of the performance. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based duo of Matt James and Rizz have long worked across darker alternative and electronic sounds, with previous collaborations involving Gary Numan, Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe.
Josh Freese, whose credits include A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals, also appears on VOWWS’ latest album I’ll Fill Your House With An Army. Danny Lohner, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Black Queen, will join the duo at Red Rocks as part of the expanded live lineup.
What deadmau5 Has Planned For Halloween
The October 30 and 31 shows will feature special Halloween visuals alongside selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. Attendees are also being encouraged to come in costume across both nights.
The shows add a new chapter to deadmau5’s long history at Red Rocks, where his fall appearances have become a regular fixture over more than 15 years. He was back at the venue in 2025 for Day of the Dead, where he debuted new music and parts of a new touring production.
That period has continued into 2026 with ‘Science’ featuring Stevie Appleton, his first vocal single since ‘My Heart Has Teeth’. The track later reached No. 1 on US Dance Radio and also entered Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay and Canada CHR/Top 40.
mau5hop Returns For Halloween Weekend
The Halloween weekend will also include the return of mau5hop in Denver, opening on October 30 and 31 at 95 S Cherokee Street. The pop-up will run from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM each day with specialty merchandise, limited-edition apparel, pins and collectibles not available online or at the shows.
deadmau5 and friends are also due to appear for meet-and-greets and signings from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM on both days.
With the Red Rocks shows and mau5hop both returning across Halloween weekend, this year’s edition adds more around a tradition that has already become closely tied to deadmau5 and the venue. The biggest difference in 2026 is simple: for the first time, one of those shows will actually fall on Halloween night.
With VOWWS, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner joining the shows, new music expected and mau5hop returning to Denver, DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN has plenty planned across the weekend. Limited tickets remain for both nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with more from deadmau5 also expected in the months ahead.
