Special Guests
David Morales
David Morales will be closing the night. A house music pioneer, Morales is the artist behind the iconic “Needin’ U” and the producer of timeless hits like Alison Limerick’s “Where Love Lives,” CeCe Peniston’s “Finally,” and Jamiroquai’s “Space Cowboy.” Without him, dance music’s rise to the global mainstream would not have been possible. Cutting his teeth at legendary clubs like Paradise Garage, Red Zone, and Zanzibar, Morales helped shape the sound of a generation. Today, he continues to light up major stages, with recent standout sets at the Hacienda Warehouse Project, Clockwork Orange, EDC Vegas, Hi Ibiza, and more. Expect a high-energy, masterful set from a true icon of the genre.
London Community Gospel Choir
Joining the Urban Soul Orchestra for the opening set is the London Community Gospel Choir. Known for their soulful, uplifting harmonies, they’ll add a powerful new dimension to the show’s most beloved tracks. Founded in 1982, LCGC is one of the world’s most in-demand choirs, having recorded with the likes of Adele, Blur and Madonna. They’re also due to perform Pacha Ibiza (Flower Power) in June, previously gracing stages at Glastonbury, the Grammys, The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and the Royal Albert Hall.
Orchestra & DJ
Urban Soul Orchestra
Classic Ibiza is brought to life by the Urban Soul Orchestra, led by conductor Stephen Hussey, alongside DJ Goldierocks - seamlessly integrating the two worlds of classical and house music. Together, they will deliver two high-octane sets packed with the biggest tracks from our 10-year back catalogue. Think Faithless' “Insomnia”, Underworld's “Born Slippy”, and Tiësto’s “Adagio for Strings” - all given the full, spine-tingling orchestral treatment. Backed by decades of experience working with icons like Groove Armada and Robert Miles, the team has curated a set that’s all thriller, no filler — a symphonic love letter to dance music.
