If there's anything people like more than rekindled love stories and romantic gossip, then it's late-night clubbing. Combine the three and you have yourselves the perfect water cooler talking point for this morning: former squeezes Defected and Pacha Ibiza are back on!
That should get the neighbours talking!
Yes, thirteen years after parting ways, they've found their way back into each other's loving arms for the 2025 season.
This summer, Defected returns to Pacha for the first time since 2012. It takes over Thursday nights from 8 May to 2 October.
Right in time for Valentine's Day, Defected and Pacha join the long list of on-off and on again celebrity pairings: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, J'Lo and Ben Affleck, Ross and Rachel from Friends... some couples just can't accept they're meant to be.
Deep down, we've always known they'd end up back together eventually. In fact, this writer still recalls stepping into Pacha at a Defected night on his first ever trip to Ibiza.
Yeah, this news has hit me right in the feels, not gonna lie.
Speaking of the reunion, Pacha CEO Aloki Batra said: "Pacha has always been at the forefront of dance music culture, and Defected is the ultimate embodiment of that spirit. The return of Defected to Pacha signals the revival of a relationship that has shaped a decade of epic parties.
Together, we're set to deliver an unparalleled experience that redefines how music is celebrated on the White Isle."
Partygoers can expect a diverse line up of House music acts, as featured on the record label and at Defected parties worldwide. The exact who's who will be shared in the coming weeks.
If, like us, you trust Defected to deliver on every date, first release tickets are on sale now. These include a pre-01:00 entry option, which might be the best value tickets on the island this summer.
Head below to get yours now and make not of that first release. Subsequent releases will be more expensive and each allocation never last for long.
