We’re very happy to announce the hotly anticipated dates of our Ibiza season 2012, as well as confirming the raft of world-class artists who will be performing for us over the summer.

Update - click here for 2012 line-up details

Last year’s Ibiza season at Pacha was an unmitigated success, with more happy clubbers than ever populating the hallowed dancefloor, terrace and balconies of Pacha to dance to the sound of Defected In The House. So to make 2012 even more impressive, we’ve really had to pull our fingers out. Here’s what’s in store...

For one thing, we’re starting the season a week earlier, with the Opening Party taking place on Saturday 26th May and running every Saturday until the Closing Party on 29th September, with the season running for two more weeks than in 2011.

Then there’s the line-up. This year more than ever we’ve tried to represent the full spectrum of house music. We think we’ve done pretty well, but here’s a sample of the acts already confirmed so you can see for yourselves…

There are also a few more very special acts we're keeping up our sleeves for the time being, so keep your eyes open for an update. Also in the next few days, we’ll be able to tell you which acts are playing on which dates throughout the season, so you won’t need to wait much longer to start booking up those flights.
