As the global electronic music community descends on the White Isle, International Music Summit (IMS) Ibiza has unveiled a bold and future-facing line-up for its iconic IMS Dalt Vila celebration — the annual open-air spectacle that officially signals the start of Ibiza’s summer season.
Presented by AlphaTheta in association with Appetite, the seven-hour musical finale marks the culmination of the summit’s 17th edition, held across the Mondrian and Hyde Ibiza hotels. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Dalt Vila — a 2,500-year-old UNESCO World Heritage fortress overlooking the Mediterranean and the illuminated Catedral de Eivissa — the event remains one of the most symbolic gatherings in global dance culture.
Honoring Legacy While Embracing the Future
Bringing a powerful sense of heritage to the program, Faithless Sound System will deliver a performance rooted in one of British dance music’s most influential legacies. Their presence adds emotional depth and scale to a line-up otherwise driven by forward momentum.
At the forefront of that momentum is Irish breakout star Jazzy, whose Afro-leaning house sound has electrified club spaces over the past 18 months. Her arrival at Dalt Vila reflects a broader evolution in Ibiza’s main-stage identity — one increasingly shaped by crossover appeal and fresh global voices.
Moroccan DJ and producer Ahmed Spins continues his rapid ascent, blending Afro house and deep house with cinematic pacing and mood. French talent Ankhoï adds groove-driven tension and forward propulsion, while rising house force Delilah makes her IMS Dalt Vila debut with high-impact energy.
UK Underground Energy Takes Center Stage
Few artists embody contemporary UK club culture quite like Eliza Rose, whose meteoric rise has seen her bridge underground credibility with chart success. Known for her instinctive feel for club history and infectious joy behind the decks, her Dalt Vila set promises a moment of collective uplift.
Representing Bristol’s thriving DIY movement, Elliot Schooling and Liam Palmer bring the spirit of Appetite to Ibiza. From intimate basement parties to major festival stages and appearances at Fabric and DC10, their approach fuses house, disco, techno, and garage into high-paced, community-driven dancefloor experiences.
London-based selector Locky also channels the capital’s underground heritage into his forward-thinking sets, rooted in house and garage traditions yet constantly evolving.
A Global Pulse at the Heart of Ibiza
Reflecting IMS Ibiza’s wider commitment to international scenes, Indo Warehouse brings a distinct cross-cultural energy. Founders Kahani and Kunal Merchant seamlessly blend South Asian rhythmic traditions with contemporary club frameworks, representing one of electronic music’s most exciting global movements.
Meanwhile, L.P. Rhythm channels the golden era of ’90s house through refined musicality, and Mayssa infuses sets with elegance, North African influence, and emotional depth. Vinyl connoisseur Olive F rounds out the bill with underground credibility and fresh generational energy.
The Guiding Force of Ibiza
Closing the circle is IMS Ibiza co-founder and global tastemaker Pete Tong, whose enduring influence continues to shape the electronic music landscape. With decades at the helm of cultural shifts, Tong’s Dalt Vila appearance once again bridges generations — celebrating the summit’s thought-leadership roots while amplifying its commitment to what comes next.
