Celebrating 36 years as the iconic jewel in the Ibiza clubbing crown and still no one does it quite like Pacha. An absolute maze of rooms, passages, corners and of course the seemingly ever expanding VIP zone(s).
Monday – Swedish House Mafia
They drink more Hierbas than the rest of the club put together, Steve Angello goes after anything with a pulse and they produce mountains of music that usually makes dance music purists cringe………BUT, they one of the most talked about brands around right now, principally because they don’t give a funk what people and throw a right old party. However, up against Tiesto and Cocoon, it’ll be tough to make it work.

Tuesday – Flamingo Nights
Pure Pacha resident from 2008, Fedde Le Grand now hosts his multi-sensory show ‘Flamingo Nights’, with vocals and PAs interspersed into the overall performance rather than just stand alone elements of the night. Throw in a monster light show and you’ve got an interested addition to the Pacha roster.
Wednesday - Subliminal
Whilst the music policy is typically house and proud at Subliminal, long standing resident Erick Morillo now welcome guests from the minimal techno world, like M.A.N.D.Y. and Dubfire, to support his ubitiquous fiesta of energy. One season away from a testimonial, little Erick just keeps on going like a Duracell bunny.

Thursday - F*** Me I’M Famous
What can you say about F*** Me I’M Famous other than F*** Me! 2008 was rammed, just totally, absolutely, unbelievably rammed. Cathy and David Guetta have tapped into a particular hype amongst the VIP crowd that means they flock in their Jimmy Choo thousands to listen to David Guetta’s ‘I don’t care if it’s cheesy electro house’. Get there early if you go!

Friday - Pure Pacha
Pacha’s signature night big time again with Basement Jaxx, Faithless, Mark Knight, Oakenfold and hot chart/dance producer Calvin Harris. Experimenting VJ/DJ Sander Kleinenberg continues as weekly resident for what is one of the island enduring party nights.
Saturday – Defected
We’re still not sure how much of his leg Frankie Knuckles has left after what was just initially an amputation of the foot, either way it kind of signalled the end for a weekly Def Mix party. Enter stage left, Defected, one of the most important partners Pacha has across its franchises and the perfect fit for the hallowed Saturday night spot at Pacha.
Sunday - Pacha Classics / Flower Power
Paul Taylor, of Retro fame, and Sebastian Gamboa hold fort on Sundays, but Flower Power is where the real Sunday fun is at. A particular favourite amongst the celebs, nothing beats the 1960s carefree, hippy vibe and sounds of DJ Piti’s original Pacha party.
