About Pure Pacha
Pure Pacha is the embodiment of the Pacha brand - the sex appeal, the glamour, the hospitality and the heritage.
Down the years, the party has been fronted by some of the biggest faces in dance music. But no matter their size, they're never as big as Pure Pacha itself - that's the true star of the show. The faces change, but Pure Pacha is the one constant.
The music policy is accessible House music that everybody can enjoy, but that's only part of what makes it special. Pure Pacha is about showing the club off to its full potential: the crowd, the dancers, the show, the bottle service. It's all just totally Pacha!

When?
Every Thursday night, starting 9 May to 3 October | 23:59 to 06:00
After a slight midweek lull, by Thursday the tourist numbers are starting to climb again as the weekend approaches. Pure Pacha was a Friday night destination for many years and has even had a stint on Saturdays, but now feels like it's in the right place just before the weekend begins.
Where?
Pacha - Ibiza's oldest club, having opened its doors in 1973 - 50 years ago last year.
Originally a converted finca, the building has undergone more regenerations than Doctor Who, expanding and updating almost year-on-year. Today's modern club is very different from the Pacha that stood in the same spot in 1973, as well as considerably larger.
That said, it still drips with that unmistakable Pacha signature. In recent years, the dancefloor has been widened and the sound system upgraded, making the clubbing element equally as important as its famous VIP.

Who?
Following in a decorated alumni of DJs who have hosted Pure Pacha including Bob Sinclar and Pete Tong, German producer Robin Schulz is the current face of the party and has been at the helm since 2022.
Best known for a string of a string of radio-friendly House hits, such as the Mr.Probz-featuring Waves and the remix to Lilly Wood's Prayer In C, Robin Schulz rose through the Pacha ranks. Previously, he was the understudy to David Guetta, occasionally deputising in his absence.
Those years prepared him for fronting his own party later down the line and that's exactly what happened, with the Pacha relationship already rooted.
Schulz proves especially popular amongst the northern Europe demographic, particular dance music fans from the Benelux region.
With huge guests, like former host Martin Solveig, Galantis, Jonas Blue, Jax Jones and Swedish alt-Pop duo Icona Pop, Pure Pacha is not lacking in fire-power.
Three year cycles seem to be the norm for Pure Pacha, so perhaps we're nearing the end of Robin Schulz's tenure? Let's see if he's back in 2025. Whether it proves to be his last or not, summer 2024 is sure to be dynamite either way.
Music
In terms of music, Pure Pacha straddles the line between EDM and commercial House. You hear plenty of music you know from radio, the official charts and TikTok, mostly with sing-along vocals. It's unpretentious and a lot of fun, but also not a full-on cheese fest.
If you're visiting with friends who only have a passing interest in dance music, then Pure Pacha is a good compromise for a party that is musically accessible and won't alienate them.
Biggest week?
