IBIZA ROCKS 2010 - THE LINE-UP

IBIZA ROCKS 2010 - THE LINE-UP
We're back! Five years after starting our party on the White Isle, Ibiza Rocks returns in 2010 with our biggest summer line up yet!

So, what have we got in store for you?

Well, first off we're very proud to announce that none other than The Prodigy will be helping us celebrate our fifth birthday on July 20. We invite you to imagine what the world´s biggest electronic act will do with a warm Ibizan evening, a huge soundsystem and two thousand up-for-it devotees...

After their stunning appearence at Radio 1's Ibiza Weekend last year, the critically-acclaimed, chart-topping Florence & The Machine will be returning to the white island and we'll also be playing host to a solo show from Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, supported by the brilliant Delphic.

Meanwhile, this year's arrival of Mallorca Rocks will see Ibiza Rocks stalwarts Dizzee Rascal, Calvin Harris and Pendulum all playing back-to-back shows between the two islands.

All that plus shows from The Courteeners, The Kooks, Example, Toddla T and loads more still to be announced - see below for the full line-up.

This year we´ll be hosting an Ibiza Rocks afterparty at Es Paradis, powered by the same ‘anything goes’ party spirit that fuels the gigs. Unbelieveably this will be FREE to all Ibiza Rocks ticket holders (before 0130). Expect the best in mash-ups, bootlegs, 4/4 indie, anthems and everything in between, expertly delivered by Doorly and Nicola Bear alongside monthly residents Example & DJ Wire and DJ Dan from Propaganda. Much more on this soon!

Reclaim the Dancefloor isn't going away though; the night was such a success it now has its own home at Eden every Wednesday from June 16th.

The line ups for this are going to be SENSATIONAL.

Tickets for all Ibiza Rocks shows are on sale now so head to www.ibizarocks.com to make sure you'll be joining us for the best summer of your life.

And if all that line-up news wasn't enough to convince you to part with your hard-earned cash - then take a look at our incredible holiday and midweek deals!

Here's everything that's confirmed so far...

The Courteeners + DJ Toddla T
June 22 – Ibiza Rocks
Liam and the lads come to town with a brand new album and sound. Singer Liam Fray says: ‘We can’t wait to get back out there. People go to Ibiza for one thing and that’s to have a f*cking good time. Let’s face it, we definitely fit the criteria.’ Radio 1 rising star Toddla T will be on board to get you in the mood with his 'Skanky Skanky' dancehall tunes.

Calvin Harris + Example
July 5 - Mallorca Rocks / July 6 - Ibiza Rocks
Calvin is back bringing his dancefloor favourites to the island for yet another year. He's even making history by being the very first act to play Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks back to back! He'll be backed up by London rapper Example who´s having a simply massive 2010.

The Prodigy - 5th Birthday Party
July 20 – Ibiza Rocks
We had to make this BIG. And we think you'll agree that we succeeded.

Ibiza Rocks 5th Birthday Bash will be headlined by the greatest electronic act the world. With a vision of creating a night for `dance kids who want to rock and rock kids who want to dance´ Ibiza Rocks was conceived with this very moment in mind. Happy Birthday indeed. It´s going to be emotional.

Dizzee Rascal
July 26 - Mallorca Rocks / July 27 - Ibiza Rocks
Back-to-back Balearic roadblock for this BRITs winner and Ibiza Rocks favourite who will also be swinging by Mallorca Rocks. Tickets will go FAST! Dizzee himself told us that he can't wait to play Ibiza Rocks again this year: “It was one of my best shows of 2009 - it went off big time."

The Kooks
June 6 - Mallorca Rocks / August 10 - Ibiza Rocks
The Brighton lads have been Ibiza Rocks faves right from the get-go and they'll be back to open to new Mallorca Rocks hotel before returning later in the summer for a set in Ibiza.

Florence And The Machine
August 24 – Ibiza Rocks
It's been an amazing year for the divine Ms Florence Welch - a platinum selling album, huge singles, headline shows and a BRIT award to put the cherry on the cake. Don't miss.

Kele Okereke & Delphic
August 31 - Ibiza Rocks
Kele from Bloc Party will perform one of his first ever live solo shows as part of his side project. He will be supported by one of the biggest breakthrough bands of the year, Delphic. Having smashed into the Top 10 with debut album ‘Acolyte’ these boys and their Balearic sound is a match made in heaven for the White Isle.

Pendulum
September 6 - Mallorca Rocks / September 7 - Ibiza Rocks
Yeah, you read that right, the masters of D'n'B will play not one, not two, but three shows over the summer including the closing party at Mallorca Rocks - we can't think of a better way to finish it all off.

Look out for more line-up news coming soon, including details of the opening and closing parties.


THE KOOKS & ZANE LOWE TO OPEN MALLORCA ROCKS ON 6 JUNE

THE KOOKS & ZANE LOWE TO OPEN MALLORCA ROCKS ON 6 JUNE
Yeah, you heard that right - one of Ibiza Rocks' favourite bands will be heading back to the Balearics this summer to open our brand new Mallorca Rocks hotel. We grew up together, the band playing Ibiza Rocks in the very first year when we were just a newborn festival and they were unsigned and unknown so who better to kick off our new adventure?

The party in Magaluf gets started on June 6 and the Brighton boys will be setting the standard for the rest of the summer. Zane Lowe will also be in attendance to host the party and bring out the big guns during what will no doubt be yet another legendary set from Radio 1's main man. More news on what else we have in store for you coming soon - we can guarantee it’s gonna go off!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PRESENTING... MALLORCA ROCKS!

Today we can officially reveal that the 2010 summer season sees the launch of the brand new Majorca Rocks Hotel.

KLAXONS BRING THE CURTAIN DOWN ON IBIZA ROCKS 2009

KLAXONS BRING THE CURTAIN DOWN ON IBIZA ROCKS 2009

What a summer!
The party started with the Ting Tings way back in June and since then we’ve been graced with the presence of some of the hottest – hell – THE hottest acts in the world right now: MGMT, Soulwax, Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend, Friendly Fires, Groove Armada and Calvin Harris to name but a few.

And even with that line-up, the best was arguably saved till last: the return of Klaxons certainly wasn’t something that anybody present at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on Tuesday will forget in a hurry.

The energy and invention that Klaxons brought with them when they burst onto the scene back in 2007 has never showed any sign of waning, even during their recent absence from the limelight. And based on this performance, they’re more alive now than ever.

Big Pink kicked off the evening: their electrifyingly huge sound lifting the crowd skyward and leaving us in no doubt of their deserved future at the forefront of the UK scene.

But it was when the genre-bending, trend-setting, label-defying headliners took the stage that the crowd really went wild. Hits new and old merged into a non-stop assault of danceable, dazzling, future rock music: frankly, Klaxons are everything Ibiza Rocks is about, and those packed in around the stage, the pool, and the balconies roared their approval throughout.

In true Ibiza Rocks style, the party carried on well into the early hours for the Reclaim The Dancefloor! Finale, with Digitalism, Chase + Status and Caspa all burning it down in a spectacularly epic fashion.

For pictures of the evening’s end-of-summer events, click here to treat those peepers.

Don’t forget to have a look at www.xbox.com now, where you can see MGMT, The Kooks, Vampire Weekend, Calvin Harris, Dizzee Rascal, The Ting Tings, Friendly Fires and more rip it up at Ibiza Rocks, courtesy of our good friends over at Xbox and Guitar Hero.

As well as stocking the IR Hotel with Xbox Kiosks and running Guitar Hero World Tour Sessions at the Xbox Social, they’ve also produced these amazing short films with us. Have a look.

Check back soon for a Best of 2009 end of season clip, with all your favourite bits from the summer.

What more can we say, except: same time next year?

Let’s push things forward. Welcome to the next phase. Welcome to the Mallorca Rocks Hotel.
