Do not adjust your settings, your calendar is not mistaken.
September really is just around the corner and on Ibiza that means one thing: closing party season is nigh. Arguably, one of the best times of the year to experience the world's best party isle, promoters pull out all the stops to make more life-long dancefloor memories.
So you can keep your pumpkin spice lattes and chic knitwear because summer is far from over!
The weeks ahead are packed with fiercely competitive line-ups, rare and renowned back-to-back pairings and unforgettable one-off events. If you’re on the island between 31 August and 25 September then here are the final fiestas you won't want to miss out on.

East End Dubs presents extENDed Ibiza | 528 Ibiza | Sunday 8 September
Strictly speaking, not a closing party, but more than worthy of mention nonetheless...

Sven Väth presents 25Y Cocoon Ibiza | 528 Ibiza | Wednesday 25 September
Back in 1999, the clubbing landscape on Ibiza looked very different to how it does today. Most clubs only opened once or twice a week and there was little need for individual itineraries - on any given day, everybody went to the same place as everybody else!
But in that year, Sven Väth arrived on the island to launch Cocoon, going head-to-head with the almighty MANUMISSION across the road. Bringing Techno to the island for the first time, the rest, as they say, is history.
In 2024 and after a five year absence, we celebrate 25Y Cocoon Ibiza!
Returning to the scene of some of its most notorious after parties, 528 Ibiza, this will be a Cocoon anniversary to remember. Richie Hawtin is already confirmed to join Sven with the rest of the line-up TBA.
Phew! Anyone else have a sudden urge to hit the dancefloor with immediate effect after that?
To make sure you never miss a beat this closing party season, Ibiza Spotlight's party calendar is your trusty pocket guide with full line-ups and those all-important tickets.
Stay tuned for part two of our September closing party round-up, for parties 26 to 30 September, which is coming soon.
