After bringing Fatboy Slim to Ibiza's north last year, music business conference International Music Summit (IMS) is back in 2025. This summer, IMS programmes a series of parties at Akasha.
Traditionally seen as the curtain-raiser to the season, IMS pulls professionals from all corners of the industry for three-days of analysis, panels, interviews, networking and lots of dancing.
IMS Opening Party
Wednesday 23 April
After day one of the conference, we hit the dancefloor starting with a Damian Lazarus set in the garden before decanting into Akasha for the rest of the night. In only his second appearance at the venue (the first being over IMS in 2023), the Crosstown Rebels boss is sure to take us on a journey as the sun goes down and, later, under the stars.
Line up: (A-Z) Damian Lazarus, Kmat, Patrick Mason and Vigro Deep
IMS Ibiza x Burn
Thursday 24 April
In conjunction with one of its main sponsors, Burn energy drink, IMS Ibiza brings a free party to Akasha featuring some of the best names on the underground. Top of the bill is tINI, who is back at the club with her tINI & the gang residency this summer.
Line up: (A-Z) ISAbella, Ola Teks, Robin Odell and tINI
40 Years of Jungle & Drum 'n' Bass
Friday 25 April
Celebrating four decades of Jungle and Drum & Bass, IMS deep-dives on the past, present and future of the genre by day, before a late-night showcase at Akasha that gives Ibiza a rare party dedicated to this pivotal movement.
Free to IMS delegate badge holders (subject to capacity - we recommend arriving at doors open).
Line up: (A-Z) Bailey, Charlie Tee, MC Chickaboo, Krust, Lens, Mark System and SHERELLE
Love Groove Night - a tribute to Alfredo
Saturday 26 April
This past winter the island said a sad farewell to the trailblazing Alfredo - the Godfather of Balearic Beat. The intricate clubbing ecosystem of the modern era can be traced back to him and his open-air sessions at Amnesia during the nascent days of tourism.
His influence is immeasurable, and yet sadly, too often he was overlooked and under appreciated while he was still with us. To honour the man and his legacy, Love Groove Night pays homage to his legend and the music that he gifted Ibiza.
Line up: (A-Z) Camilo Miranda, Jaime Fiorito, Leo Mas, Luca Averna, Nancy Noise, Nicky Holloway, Terry Farley and Trujillo
