Before the 2025 Ibiza season officially kicks off, a few of the island's clubs will be hosting parties over the long Easter weekend. This includes Akasha and Las Dalias, whose all-year-round programme continues with some special celebrations during Semana Santa.
Traditionally, this is a time for religious processions and solemn ceremonies. But if you're on Ibiza and looking to celebrate in a more, let's say, laissez faire way, Las Dalias has something special in store.
Get ready for four consecutive days of non-stop parties, bringing the energy of peak summer to the Easter weekend. With three days of public holidays over this period, even the locals will be out to play. One last party before the hard slog of summer arrives.
Maundy Thursday | Sven Väth presents T.R.A.N.C.E
17 April
T.R.A.N.C.E was the very first Easter party to get confirmed and go on sale. Therefore, perhaps unsurprisingly, it's selling like freshly baked hot cross buns! Those much fancied full-access tickets sold out a couple of week ago already.
The good news is, there's still sufficient stock if you want to join Sven Väth and co. in the garden. We wouldn't dwell on it too much longer though. They will be snapped up soon enough. Let's face it, in the last two years, Sven's Easter edition has become the hottest ticket on the island.
Even the late-night entry ticket well is now running low. Hurry whilst stocks last.
Good Friday | Tales of the Unexpected
18 April
Sven's exploits in San Carlos are no longer a secret, but our next party could be the surprise package of 2025 much the same as he was three summers ago.
The Brothers Grim (Mark Broadbent and Andrew Livesey) start the first of four Tales of the Unexpected outings on Good Friday. The line up flaunts their industry connections, as they call in some high-profile friends to help celebrate the launch.
Scuba, Ryan O Gorman, Simon Morell and Juan Amigo are the musically-gifted guests on 18 April. In a change to the familiar format, Tales of the Unexpected starts in Las Dalias café from 19:00 with free entry until 23:00.
Saturday | Supernova
19 April
Saturday evening sees the continuation of Las Dalias' new concept, Supernova. Following in the footsteps of the venue's most legendary parties, this one starts outside in the garden at 18:00 and moves inside to the club after 23:00.
It's a winning formula for a reason and really brings out the best in Ibiza's oldest music venue.
The launch party was headlined by Kings Of Tomorrow and the second date will be overseen by Matthias Tanzmann, so although the line up is not yet out for 19 April, the bar has been set high.
Easter Sunday | Namaste Primavera Sessions
20 April
Spring's symbolism is closely aligned with that of Namaste itself. Las Dalias' longest-running party starts to blossom this time of year, ready to go full bloom by the time summer arrives. Currently on alternate Sundays during the off-season, Namaste brings together the communal rituals of dance, feasting and trade, parallel to Las Dalias' famed market.
Without doubt, this is one of the most authentic experiences you can have on Ibiza. Go bare-foot by the fire and expand your mind to music you're unlikely to hear anywhere else.
When accompanied by adults, children are welcome in the garden until 21:00, when the party moves inside to the club.
The week after Easter brings International Music Summit (IMS) conference and the official Ibiza opening weekend for 2025. Las Dalias is part of the programme, as IMS Ibiza curates four consecutive days of parties.
While you have a few days to recover, don't get too comfy as summer season is closer than you think.
You can find all of the above listed on our party calendar.
