Get ready for some simply massive news! Earth-shaking, asteroid-the-size-of-Manhattan massive!

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

We’re taking everything you know and love about Ibiza Rocks – the bands, the bars, the beats and the buzz – and creating another little oasis of good times in Magaluf, the biggest youth resort in the Mediterranean.

The stonking 330 room Mallorca Rocks Hotel will host up to six gigs during its opening season. And you can expect to see some of the world’s best acts playing live under the stars in the hotel’s courtyard, plus quality daytime entertainment all summer long.

The line-up at the Mallorca Rocks Hotel will be revealed early in the new year – so stay tuned.

Once we’re up and running, the gigs will go off weekly and many of the acts will be pulling the dazzling double whammy of performing at both Mallorca Rocks and Ibiza Rocks within 48 hours.

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.
