From Friday 29 April to Sunday 1 May, Defected Records is taking over Ibiza in conjunction with International Music Summit (IMS).
Hitting five Ibizan venues across three hedonistic days, Defected is bringing an incredible array of talent for the weekender.
Opening its weekly residency at Eden on Friday, 29 April, Defected's big dog Simon Dunmore plays alongside Low Steppa, Hannah Wants, Riva Starr and Darius Syrossian, who makes the first of five 2022 appearances. Pick-up tickets here.
Earlier in the evening, the free pre-party takes place on the Sunset Strip at Café Mambo. Sunset just before 20:45 CET.
The next day, Saturday, 30 April, is very special, as Defected is handed the keys to the Old Town Dalt Vila.
"Mama" Honey Dijon and House music icon Danny Tenaglia line-up next to longstanding label affiliates Bob Sinclar, Louie Vega and Natasha Diggs inside ancient fortification Dalt Vila. Head here for tickets.
After we're finished outdoors, we head to the official after party hosted by Classic Music Co. at Octan.
Classic. co-owners Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon invite Dan Shake, Natasha Diggs, Sophie Lloyd and Melvo Baptist to Playa d'en Bossa. Island collective Melon Bomb are also down on a night for the diggers and the enthusiasts. Tickets for that can be bought here.
To see out the weekend, on Sunday, 1 May, Defected heads to super-club Amnesia for the first time since 2015.
For the swansong, Melé, Ferreck Dawn, Mambo Brothers and Louie & Lucas Dunmore grace the world class sound system with more artists TBC. Those tickets can be found here.
That's a packed three days of unassailable House music action and what a way to open the account for summer 2022. We hope to see you at all these parties.
