RESISTANCE announces its return to the White Isle for RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025

Heralded as the world’s most international house and techno festival brand, ULTRA Worldwide’s esteemed underground series RESISTANCE stands at the forefront of innovation in the global underground music scene, bringing its visionary programming to more than 35 cities across all six inhabited continents—spanning stadium stages, international tours, and award-winning residencies.

Now, RESISTANCE announces its triumphant return to the White Isle this summer for RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025, reclaiming its status as a defining force in Ibiza nightlife with a nine-week residency at the world-famous Amnesia Ibiza, which remains as a haven for those who seek authentic clubbing.

Running every Wednesday from July 23 through September 17, 2025, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will be anchored by Season Residents Adam Beyer and ARTBAT, who will deliver weekly headlining performances, rotating between Amnesia’s immersive Main Room and emblematic sky-roof Terrace—ensuring each night stands as its own distinct sonic voyage.

Both Adam Beyer and ARTBAT have become fixtures across RESISTANCE‘s international stages; headlining events in far-flung cities like Seoul, Split, Tokyo, and Santiago, commanding the decks of Ultra Music Festival‘s iconic RESISTANCE MegaStructure, and selling out shows at RESISTANCE Miami‘s M2 residency.

RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will deliver its signature blend of cutting-edge programming, state-of-the-art production, and immersive audiovisual experiences – the same elements that earned the residency DJ Awards‘ coveted ‘Best Ibiza Night‘ 2018 accolade.

In 2017, RESISTANCE launched its first-ever club residency at the world’s largest nightclub, Privilege Ibiza, quickly establishing itself as a cornerstone of the island’s nightlife. Over three banner seasons, RESISTANCE Ibiza orchestrated a series of never-before-seen, “you-had-to-be-there” moments in house and techno history.

Highlights include the global-debut B2B set from techno titans Carl Cox and Maceo Plex, as well as the first-ever B3B performance from Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire, and Paco Osuna, whose marathon set during the 2017 Season Closing Party instantly became a defining moment in RESISTANCE lore.

RESISTANCE Ibiza also lays claim to reuniting the legendary duo of Sasha and John Digweed for an exclusive 2017 season residency. This partnership marked the pair’s first Ibiza appearances together since 2009, and their first club residency in more than 15 years—a momentous return to form not seen since their fabled tenure at Twilo New York ended in 2001.

The 2025 Ibiza residency brings the story full circle as RESISTANCE debuts at Amnesia—the venue that hosted ULTRA Worldwide‘s first Ibiza event in 2007. A momentous reunion nearly 20 years in the making, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will transform Amnesia‘s hallowed architecture into multisensory spectacles all season long, showcasing the large-scale productions, top-of-the-line visual design, and transcendent soundscapes that have come to define the RESISTANCE brand globally.

Today’s RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 announcement also marks the launch of RESISTANCE‘s revolutionary, yearlong global club residency program, creating an unprecedented circuit of clubbing experiences from Miami to the Mediterranean.

This first-of-its-kind format bridges RESISTANCE‘s acclaimed U.S. club presence in Ultra‘s hometown of Miami Beach, with its award-winning Ibiza residency, merging two of dance music’s most iconic destinations into a singular, transcontinental movement.

Few brands, if any, have successfully established such a cohesive, continuous club presence across multiple continents, making RESISTANCE a trailblazer in its own right. By uniting two of the world’s most iconic nightlife destinations under one visionary brand, RESISTANCE sets a new benchmark for underground clubbing culture.

Rebūke & deadmau5 unite on new track ‘Endless’ ft. Ed Graves

According to electronic musician Rebūke, ERA is a place for people to lose themselves in a realm of sound and vision within a captivating sense of futurism. For his first single of 2025, and to launch the campaign leading into his debut studio album The World of ERA (set for release later this spring), Rebūke is teaming with internationally renowned artist deadmau5 for “Endless” featuring Ed Graves. The single is officially out now, landing on Rebūke’s very own label, ERA.

Written with Dutch songwriter Melissa De Kleine (John Summit, Nicky Romero, Sander van Doorn), “Endless” showcases a haunting vocal from Billboard charting producer, songwriter, artist and instrumentalist Ed Graves. “These endless nights / The distant lights / A silent sign / Are we lost in the endless?” croons Graves over Rebūke and deadmau5‘ soaring production.

Discussing the new single, Rebūke comments:

“Endless’ felt like the perfect track to launch the album – a full-circle moment and a collaboration with deadmau5, who has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my musical journey. I feel like the song strikes the balance between both Rebūke and deadmau5 sound.

The track originally was an instrumental, but after a last-minute conversation with songwriter Melissa De Kleine and Ed Graves, and with less than 12 hours notice, they rushed to the studio and delivered an incredible vocal that brought the track to life.”

As a multi-layered artist who emphasizes visuals as an extension of his art alongside his music, the creative for “Endless” as seen in its visualizer shows a day in the life of a girl living in Era, as she travels to a nightclub. Four key scenes are depicted– the first is in an alleyway, then outside the nightclub before the third is the stairway, where suspense is built and then finally she enters the nightclub and a transcendence occurs.
