Best open-air daytime venues for 2019

Because not everyone is a night owl.

Not all Ibiza nightlife has us turning into nocturnal animals. In fact, you can party your time away whilst still retaining your usual sleeping pattern. Damage limitation at its finest. Horah!

Open-air daytime parties offer the feel-good festival-like atmosphere that summer is all about. We've compiled a list of some of the best open-air venues this season. Daytime ravers, who is up for a mid-afternoon dance?

As Music On made its debut at Pacha this year, along with it came a series of special Music On Daytime parties at the Talamanca beach hotel. These take place on selected Thursday evenings. The residency sees a stellar series of line-ups, including the likes of Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Carl Cox.
