About Future Rave
Imagine a party of the future, not just in sound, but in design too, and you'll get a small sense of what David Guetta and his pal MORTEN want to achieve with Future Rave. The scale, the production, the sheer brass balls for something so huge - it could only happen at Hï Ibiza.
If David Guetta's daytime extravaganza at Ushuaïa is where to hear all of his best-known commercial hits, then Future Rave is the place where he can push the boundaries and take things in a more futuristic direction.
It still has his fingerprints all over it but leans into a bigger, more ambitious concept.

When?
Every Friday night, from 7 June to 4 October | 23:30 to 07:00
Friday is the start of the weekend and nowadays the trend for extended weekend breaks to Ibiza means that Friday nights are a colossal night on the island. Some of the biggest parties of the week take place on Fridays, but none come bigger than the one fronted by David Guetta!
Where?
Found in Playa d'en Bossa, high-tech Hï Ibiza was voted the world's number one club by readers of DJ Mag in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Opening in 2017, it wasted no time in making an impact. Growing year-on-year, odds are Hï Ibiza will celebrate its most successful summer again.

After several decades at Pacha, David Guetta jumped ship to Hï Ibiza for 2019 in the highest-profile club transfer in Ibiza's history. Year one was done under the banner of long-running F*** ME I'M FAMOUS!, but since 2022, he teamed with friend MORTEN for this bold new concept.
Who?
We rarely like to make assumptions, but we've got a feeling nearly everybody reading this will know exactly who David Guetta is. He's only the biggest DJ on the planet (he's DJ Mag's reigning Top 100 DJs winner) and super-producer to the stars, as well as being the hardest working man in dance music.
Few artists on the planet can eclipse Guetta's star power, so how privileged are we that one of the most in-demand names in Pop music still finds time to do, not one, but two weekly Ibiza residencies? We are truly blessed in that respect.
Although he dominates the charts and can pick whoever in the music industry he works with in the studio, David Guetta still has one eye firmly on the music he loves, which is a little more cool. Future Rave, as a concept, reflects those tastes and sees him push himself as an artist.
It's the middle ground between the sound everybody loves and associates with him and more traditional club music. Being the professional that he is, he does so without ever alienating his core fan base.
David Guetta presents a Techno classic in new light
Future Rave is all about presenting cutting-edge dance music and blurring the lines between the mainstream and the underground. David Guetta's take on this Techno classic embodies that better than anything, educating and entertaining in equal measure.
Strongest week?
Ukrainian Melodic Techno duo ARTBAT playing the closing party on 4 October is pretty tasty, although we also recommend the three dates where livewire jackie-in-the-box Arielle Free tears things up. Guaranteed to get your blood pumpin'. READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH ARIELLE
Any surprises?
Well this caught our attention: only legendary NYC DJ and scene veteran Danny Tenaglia popping up on support on three dates, including the opening party. You can catch him on 7 June, 5 July and 27 September.
In case you didn't know already, Danny frequently headlined Hï Ibiza's predecessor Space Ibiza.
What else do you need to know?
Future Rave is now much more than a party. Since 2022, it's also a record label too.
Predominantly used as platform to showcase music from both David Guetta and MORTEN, its most recent release in their joint double-sided release The Future Is Now. Sander van Doorn, Prophecy and RAYE have also graced the label.

Argh! My holiday starts and ends before Future Rave begins!
Aww. That's always a shame. The consolation is that weekly Club Room hosts Meduza and James Hype get underway a week earlier on 31 May with a full club takeover of Our House. Please visit this page for tickets and more information.
