Radio 1's weekend in Ibiza
Take the liveliest party island known to man and the UK’s favourite radio station, combine the two together and what do you get? Radio 1’s huge party weekend in Ibiza with some one the hottest headlining global DJ superstars! Oh and also a mildly burnt Matt Edmonson.
This year was the 20th anniversary of the hugely popular Ibiza weekend hosted by everyone’s all time favourite radio station Radio 1, unless of course your more of a Buble fan in which case you may want to tune into Heart. With thousands of clubbers and tourists in need have a bit of well-organised carnage they all descended on the party central island with high hopes and high expectations? From the 31st of July to the 2nd of August all you hard-core ravers were sunning it up and enjoying nothing but good music, good vibes and amazing cocktails! If you missed out this year then don’t be too down in the dumps about it, it will most definitely be back next year bigger and better than ever.
2015 Highlights
You would of course expect nothing less from a Radio One Big Weekend than having an amazing line up and this year they didn’t disappoint. Friday saw the likes of Calvin Harris, Duke Dumont, Rudimental and Disclosure all hitting the decks; needless to say they went down an absolute treat. If that isn’t enough to get you ridiculously excited about next year then perhaps Saturdays line-up can tempt you. Taking place in Ibiza’s Hard rock Hotel Saturday saw the likes of some huge DJ’s including Sigma, Wilkinson and The Prodigy. During the day Ibiza’s hottest open air venue Ushuaia Club held host to Annie Mac, Hannah Wants, MK and many more.
As well as enjoying some of Ibiza’s hottest party venues over the weekend you can also experience the sounds of the summer whilst on the move. You can explore some of Ibiza’s beautiful coastlines whilst soaking up the sun on the Big Weekend boat parties, taking place on both the Friday and the Saturday. The three-hour Pukka Up party whisked partygoers away from San Antonio to Playa D’en Bossa, another of Ibiza’s clubbing hotspots. These exclusive parties are the perfect accompaniment to the full big weekend experience, with the worlds best DJ’s and the worlds most beautiful clubbing hotspot it sure beats a weekend in the Cotswold’s.
Be sure to check out next years big weekend and to avoid disappointment I would suggest keeping your eyes peeled for tickets, they sell fast and with a line up as huge as this ones its clear to see why.
