Hï Ibiza Crowned World’s No. 1 Club for Third Consecutive Year

Hï Ibiza has been voted the World’s No. 1 Club for the third successive year in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs poll. Top 100 Clubs, the globally respected barometer for electronic music clubs across the planet, is determined by a poll of DJ Mag’s global readers — who voted in record-breaking numbers from almost every country in the world.

Hï Ibiza, which first opened its doors on Playa d’en Bossa‘s iconic strip in 2017, is one of the world’s most technologically advanced dance music destinations, and boasts a dazzling roster of top-tier residencies from artists including Black Coffee, David Guetta, Eric Prydz, FISHER and The Martinez Brothers, and brands such as Afterlife and Glitterbox.

The venue wins the award as The World’s No. 1 Club on the week of its 2024 opening party — on Saturday 27th April — which will feature sets from Honey Dijon, TSHA, Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Carlita, Loco Dice and many more. Over 700,000 clubbers are expected to pass through the doors of the club this summer, with over 500 DJs scheduled to perform at more than 120 events across the summer.

Winning the prestigious award for three consecutive years marks a significant milestone for Hï Ibiza, showcasing its sustained excellence in the global nightlife scene and the club’s continued commitment to creating world-leading immersive music experiences.

With sister venue Ushuaïa Ibiza also rising one spot to no. 4 in the list, parent company Ushuaïa Entertainment, founded by nightlife entrepreneur Yann Pissenem, holds the unique honor of having not just one but two clubs in the Top 5.

In a competitive field, this exceptional feat demonstrates the significant role that Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa Ibiza continue to play in establishing the island as the global epicenter of avant-garde clubbing and electronic music, as well as the ongoing influence of Ibiza’s club scene on a global scale.

Speaking about the win, Yann Pissenem, Founder, CEO & Owner of Ushuaïa Entertainment, Ushuaïa, and Hï Ibiza, said:

“We are deeply honored to be named the World’s No. 1 Club by the readers of DJ Mag once again. This is a real testament to the support of our incredible community, and this award is as much yours as it is ours. This marks the third consecutive year that your energy and enthusiasm have motivated us to work even harder than ever before, and every vote cast is a result of the strong bond we’ve forged together.

Thank you to all of the incredible artists we are proud to call our family, the entire team at The Night League and Hï Ibiza, my brother Romain and the team at High Scream, our partners, and all those who continue to support us. As we celebrate this extraordinary milestone, we remain deeply committed to raising the bar, delivering unparalleled experiences, and redefining the future of club culture. We cannot wait to welcome you all back again this summer!”

Any attempt to define Hï Ibiza‘s ongoing popularity among the hundreds of thousands of voters in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs poll should probably start by talking about the multi-room setup, which creates a 360 experience unlike anything else on the island. The Theatre, Club Room, and Wild Corner each have their own distinct design and atmosphere, yet are all unified by industry-leading production, precision-engineered sound, and carefully curated lineups of world-class residents, cutting-edge artists, surprise special guests and impromptu B2Bs.

Immersive production and bold future-facing design permeate all areas of the venue, rewarding the adventurous with breathtaking outdoor terraces, luxury bars and secret parties. Each of these areas make a huge impression in their own right, but arguably it’s the way every element of the complex can be fine-tuned to suit any event that guarantees so many returning visitors. Whatever the night, whoever is playing, things will look distinct compared to 24 hours earlier.

In addition to Hï Ibiza‘s return to the No.1 spot for the third year in a row, sister club Ushuaïa Ibiza also moves up one place in the list to be named the No. 4 club in the world. This summer, the world-leading open-air entertainment experience welcomes the biggest artists and club brands on the planet, including ANTS, Armin van Buuren, Calvin Harris, Defected, F*** Me I’m Famous! By David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Swedish House Mafia, and Tomorrowland presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

With awe-inspiring production, exceptional performances from superstar DJs, and a festival-like atmosphere, Ushuaïa Ibiza seamlessly blends hedonism and escapism, to create an unparalleled open-air club experience.

Paco Osuna’s NOW HERE residency announces full-club takeovers at Hï Ibiza

Taste-making Hï Ibiza resident Paco Osuna will take over the World’s No, 1 Club with his trailblazing NOW HERE residency for two exclusive dates. One of Spain’s most influential underground musical exports, Osuna will program music across the entire venue on 5th and 19th September 2024.

Spanish techno titan Paco Osuna has a high energy and forward-thinking sound that sees him perform all over the world, most notably at Hï Ibiza where he pulls in international crowds all summer long at his Club Room residency.

Celebrated for his renowned hybrid live and DJ sets, which offer up truly dynamic soundscapes, his open-minded musical policy sees him draw from all aspects of techno, serving up the high-definition sounds that have made his NOW HERE residency so widely respected.

This summer Osuna builds on his long standing relationship with Hï Ibiza to present a pair of full-venue takeovers for the first time. Osuna’s ethos of living in the moment is embodied in the NOW HERE brand, with each event featuring an uplifting soundtrack from the respected DJ and his tight knit roster of regulars and handpicked special guests. This philosophy will be on full display across both events as Osuna will curate a musical program covering his expansive taste and unwavering dancefloor-focus.

Here’s what Paco Osuna had to say:

“This year is special for many reasons, but particularly because I’m turning 50 and it’s also my 30th anniversary as a DJ! Finding a project that motivates me so much at this stage of my career wasn’t easy, but creating Now Here has filled me with enthusiasm and a renewed drive to fight for the creation and development of a project I wholeheartedly believe in.

Hï Ibiza is the place where I can truly unleash my creativity, so having the chance to bring Now Here to the entire club, together with top DJs who have been connected with me throughout my career, is incredibly exciting and I will give 1000% to make these nights unforgettable”

All of this will of course be heightened by the boundary-pushing production of Hï Ibiza, which remains at the vanguard of underground experiences on the White Isle and will make these dates even more unmissable for true techno lovers.

Elements is the ultimate arena of exploration, where music, community, art, camping, and adventure coalesce in perfect unison. Best described as an escape unlike any other, the festival is co-created by those who embark on the journey, fostering a home for childlike wonder and a creative space for like-minded individuals.

Lineup additions include standout back to backs from Late Checkout party starter Chris Lorenzo and Night Bass label head AC Slater as Fly With Us, plus seasoned house favorites Green Velvet B2B Patrick Topping.

Elements 2024 lineup

Fans will also be treated to two unique sets from bass behemoth Subtronics, live jam band stalwarts The Disco Biscuits, unifying dance figure The Blessed Madonna, high priestess of hard techno Sara Landry, enigmatic production mastermind G Jones, and live electronic duo Kasablanca. Additional highlights include in demand next generation risers like Odd Mob & OMNOM present HYPERBEAM, Hamdi, and Max Styler.

Speaking on the new round of additions, Elements Co-Founder Timothy Monkiewicz says:

“We tried to go out of the box and worked hard to bring fans some fresh house & techno artists as well as some rare b2b sets for phase two. We are excited to add your most requested Jam band and Pennsylvania royalty, The Disco Biscuits! This well-rounded lineup gives something for everyone and we can’t wait for you all to enjoy it.”

These additions join an initial lineup that already featured some of the most electrifying names in dance music, from chart-topping stadium-filling superstar Illenium, to a Redux set from pioneering GRAMMY-nominated DJ and producer Kaskade, the darker shades of forward thinking producers Liquid Stranger and LSDREAM, and the head-splitting sounds of Excision.

The depth continues with GRAMMY-nominated melodic bass pioneers Slander, a back to back from Black Book Records head Chris Lake and Hellbent Records boss Cloonee, hard hitting versatile trap producer TroyBoi, a back to back throwdown from Sullivan King and Kayzo, plus D&B favorites like Sub Focus and Dimension.

The four primary stages at Elements are aptly named to each represent one of the key elements that define not only the event’s experience, but the very fabric of the natural world it celebrates. Fire is the home for thrill-seekers who thrive off moments of spontaneous fun, while Earth presents a psychedelic paradise of neon trees, galactic mushrooms, and airborne jellyfish. Air offers a temple of melodies tucked deep in the forest, while the sunshine playground known as Water is where acrobats, pirates, and clowns are ever abounding and swimsuits are heavily encouraged.

Festivalgoers can also explore a magical playground complete with Burning Man style art cars and rows of Vibe Villages, which are decorated theme camps created by guests. Elements will additionally showcase 3D video projection mapping, interactive performances, and large-scale art installations, plus a Health & Wellness lineup with yoga, aromatherapy, dance, comedy, sound baths, and multidisciplinary workshops.

Elements has grown rapidly into an immersive multi-day camping experience, along the way becoming a staple of the festival circuit. The move to Long Pond has aided in this growth, with Elements now hosted in the woodlands adjacent to the raceway. The venue is powered by an onsite solar farm, further assisting Elements in its long-term sustainability goals.

Tier Three GA and VIP passes are currently on sale through the official Elements Festival website. Elements also offers a variety of options related to accommodations, which range from car camping to on-site glamping, nearby hotels, and preset RVs and tents for those seeking an elevated experience.
