Top 100 DJs Returns to Ibiza for a Second Year

After hosting the ceremony in Ibiza for the first time last year, [UNVRS] welcomes the event back for a second consecutive edition. David Guetta took the No. 1 position in 2025 for a fifth time. The result placed him alongside Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, who have also topped the poll five times.

Last year’s ceremony also came during the opening season of [UNVRS], which launched in May 2025 under The Night League. Less than a year later, the venue reached No. 1 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs 2026 poll. It became the first club to take the top spot within 12 months of opening. The awards therefore return with [UNVRS] now holding its own No. 1 title from DJ Mag.

Adding to the occasion, the ceremony takes place during one of the final weeks of the venue’s 2026 season. Top 100 DJs LIVE comes between Armin van Buuren presents A State Of Trance on October 5 and Jamie Jones presents Paradise on October 7. [UNVRS] then continues toward its closing weekend later that week.

More Than Three Decades of Top 100 DJs

Long before the awards reached Ibiza, DJ Mag introduced Top 100 DJs in 1993 for the magazine’s 100th issue. What began as an editorial list later became a global public vote. Now in its 33rd year, DJ Mag describes it as the world’s largest publicly voted music poll. Voters can choose any five DJs without a nomination shortlist or eligibility criteria.

Voting for the 2026 edition opened on July 8 and closed on September 16 at 23:59 GMT. Attention now turns to the final ranking and its live reveal in Ibiza. The top position carries extra history this year, with David Guetta, Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren tied on five wins each. Another victory for any of the three would create the first six-time winner in the poll’s history.

Alongside the overall No. 1 position, the ceremony will recognise artists across several genres and achievements. Categories include The World’s No. 1 Trance DJ, Hard DJ, Techno DJ, House DJ and DJ Group. Highest New Entry, Highest Climber, Future Star and Outstanding Contribution will also be presented during the night.

A Global Lineup Surrounds the 2026 Awards

For the 2026 edition, ANASTAZJA, Lost Frequencies, Korolova, Charlotte de Witte, GORDO and Vintage Culture make up the announced lineup. Their performances bring several areas of electronic music into the same event. Once DJ Mag announces The World’s No. 1 DJ, the winner will also play a special set at [UNVRS].

The Ibiza edition combines the live performances with the awards throughout the night, continuing the format introduced at the venue last year. That gives the newly crowned No. 1 DJ the chance to perform immediately after receiving the title while the rest of the lineup continues around the ceremony.

With voting now closed, attention turns to October 6 and the announcement of the final results at [UNVRS]. Tickets and VIP bookings for Top 100 DJs LIVE are already available through the venue, with the event beginning from 11:30 PM.
