As one of the mainstays of the Ibiza clubbing industry over the last decade or so, there is a certain amount of expectation that rises before they release their lineups. They saw their Thursday night party regularly sell out last year, and they enjoyed one of their biggest crowds ever in the same season. Finding that balance between the best Trance in the main room and the best house and electro in the terrace has been something that they have honed over the years, and they can now boast a regular lineup of many of the big hitters from those genres on a regular basis.
Now that the full lineup has been announced, we can all rest assured that this is the case for the 2012 season too. Artists throughout the season include Paul van Dyk, deadmau5, Above & Beyond, Calvin Harris, Laidback Luke, Eddie Halliwell, Example featuring DJ Wire, Gareth Emery, Sander van Doorn, Benny Benassi, John O'Callaghan, AN21 & Max Vangeli to name a few.
Paul Van Dyk, long-term Cream Ibiza resident, returns again this year with a mammoth 8 exclusive dates, he's a man who has been at the top of his game for well over a decade now with a plethora of awards and a loyal mass following of fans to show for it. Never one to dissapoint, we all expect him to provide during his semi-live performances.
Joining Paul in the main room are another act that are back for more after a hugely successful residency for the club last year - Above & Beyond! They are a team of artists that bring together control over the sound, lighting and visuals into one performance to be appreciated as a whole. You have them for 6 whole dates including the very special Anjunabeats party.
This season Cream Ibiza welcomes a new resident for the main room in the form of Gareth Emery, a hugely influential and innovative DJ/Producer and no doubt a welcome addition to an already star-studded trance lineup. Of course Cream wouldn't be Cream without Eddie Halliwell and his typical energetic performances begind the decks, and another of Trance's biggest names - Sander Van Doorn. Wrapping things up in the main room are regular performers John'O Callaghan, Adam Sheridan, Ben Gold, Gareth Wyn, Mat Zo, Sean Hughes, Ben Santiago, UNION, Andy Mac, James Dutton, Anthony Probyn and Jemmy.
Over to the Mixmag Terrace and the big names keep rolling out. Deadmau5 will return for an island exclusive performance at the opening party, his only show in Ibiza, and certainly not one to miss. Joining him will be club favourite Calvin Harris, who at every appearance saw the terrace erupt into one of the most up for it crowds we have ever seen, for 8 huge events. Then the Super You&Me big man Laidback Luke joins the lineup with an array of parties over the season, no doubt dressed up as a super hero for the occasion. Together they will be joined by Example featuring DJ Wire, Benny Benassi, Fake Blood, AN21 & Max Vangeli, Chris Lake, Michael Woods, Burns, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Sandro Silva, Oliver Twizt and Tim Mason.
