About The Last dANTS
Ushuaïa's packed weekly daytime session, ANTS, gets an encore with The Last dANTS - the theme for the party hotel's 2024 Closing Party.
With its sleek monochrome look and pioneering approach, ANTS became an instant hit when it was introduced in summer 2013. First, amongst the workers' community, but now equally as much a holiday essential for tourist clubbers with underground sensibilities.
The colony has been called on to host the closing party before and, given its unwavering popularity, its irresistible pull factor makes it a logical choice for the final party of the season.
Curious to know more? We've got the full low-down on when? where? who? why? and how?
When?
Saturday 12 October, 13:00 to 23:00
Securing a prime slot in the final hours of closing party season, The Night League are taking full advantage of the relentless dancefloor energy that makes this period of the year non-negotiable for Ibiza ravers.
The rush of peak season has settled, the heat is pleasant and as you’re about to see, the clubs pull out all the stops on heavyweight line-ups that leave a lasting impression. This will be Ushuaïa's latest ever finish, with the Closing Party usually taking place a weekend earlier.
Where?
Palatial party hotel Ushuaïa - found at the south end of Playa d'en Bossa.
Capable of holding up to 7,000 rave-ready holidaymakers, Ushuaïa is the ultimate outdoor party experience. You're highly likely to fly over the club as you land, so get a good glimpse peering out of your window seat. Hours later, you could be stood below with your arms in the air.

Who?
One of the beautiful thing about ANTS is that it doesn't rely on one sole DJ name. Instead, the party can pick and choose from a global pool of House and Techno talent (although resident Andrea Oliva can regularly be found steering the ship, as he is at The Last dANTS).
While most normal weeks are mega from any rationally objective viewpoint, the line-up gets supersized for The Last dANTS.
The Martinez Brothers, Paco Osuna, Green Velvet, Patrick Topping, Vintage Culture, Prunk, Syreeta and Melé are all part of the action. Many of them join in tandem, for fantasy back-to-back pairings.
There are eleven acts confirmed, but the "twelfth man", well that's the crowd.
Since it rose to popularity, ANTS' success has been reliant on the dancefloor. The majority buy into the all-black dress code. They are a pivotal cog in what has become an unstoppable vehicle.
Why?
Silly question, but in case you still need the hard sell. Because...
- the line-up has compiled the biggest names in the underground scene
- it's the last party at Ushuaïa until the start of the Ibiza 2025 season - tentatively pencilled in for the end of April. Don't miss it!
- production levels are off the scale: volcano-shaped stage design and geo-thermal activity in the form of towering infernos, glowing molten lava and steaming sulphur effects - the full works
- Hï Ibiza's Tuesday night hosts The Martinez Brothers and Paco Osuna combine for a back-to-back
- Studio hitmakers Green Velvet and Patrick Topping are another pairing
- Ten full hours in the open-air directly beneath the flight path - first under the sun, moving into sunset and finally under the cover of darkness
How?
Now a question with an easy answer: simply by heading below and grabbing your tickets.
For peace of mind, why not add insurance cover for only €5 extra per ticket? This allows you to cancel up to 24-hours before the start of the party for any reason, should your plans change. Insurance policyholders can then claim the full value of tickets back with no quibbles.
