Party preview | Music On New Year’s Eve at Pacha Ibiza

About Music On New Year’s Eve

During summer, Music On is one of Ibiza’s most cherished nights, so it’s a no-brainer why Pacha would also choose it to host the biggest club night in the calendar. The last night of the year is always an excuse to party, as we wave a fond farewell to 2025 and welcome 2026.

As far as we’re concerned, being on the dancefloor is the only way to see in the New Year.

Nowadays, Music On showcases more vocal House and “Deep-Tech” with edits of familiar tracks thrown in and always ending on a crowd-pleaser. What hasn’t changed is the groove. When it locks in, you can’t escape. A full dancefloor and a full VIP – that’s the Marco Carola effect.

It’s gonna be another New Year to remember.

When?

23:00 – 06:00 on Wednesday 31 December

Where?

Pacha Ibiza
Avinguda 8 d’Agost, Eivissa, 07800 Open in Google Maps

Ibiza Town is the capital of the island. You’ll find a metropolitan centre, the Old Town and the port area, each with its own character, vibe and plenty of lively bars to start your evening. They’re about a 10-15 minute walk from Pacha or a short taxi ride.

There is a taxi rank immediately outside the club, as well as cafes, bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

Who?

Headline resident: Marco Carola

Active: Since the early ’90s
Status: One of Ibiza’s biggest pulling DJs of the last decade
Best known for: Marathon DJ sets until the sun comes up, stoicism, his signature groove

It could only be one man at the helm for this grandiose occasion. Roll out the red carpet.

Where Ibiza is concerned, Marco Carola is DJ royalty. In fact, after serving the club for seven years, he’s now King of Pacha. The numbers don’t lie. During summer, each week is “completo“. Equally, you can guarantee the big spending VIPs will be flying in especially for New Year’s Eve to bathe in Don Marco’s presence, just as they do from May to October.

Italians love their Techno and are fiercely loyal to their talisman, so you can expect a healthy contingent on the dancefloor. Of course, Carola’s appeal knows no borders. He’s worshipped just as much by his Spanish, British and Dutch super fans. All nationalities represented.

Also playing: (A-Z) Franky Rizardo (pictured above), Mason Collective, Nic Fanciulli
