Glitterbox has been one of the most popular Ibiza parties of recent years, offering a completely different experience and a dash of glamour and colour to the nocturnal Ibiza scene. Featuring some of the hottest new talent alongside industry giants on a season line-up that was packed with household names, Friday night in Hï Ibiza saw giant glitterballs hanging over the Theatre dancefloor as house and disco ruled the room. To celebrate another fantastic summer, Glitterbox compilation ‘Disco’s revenge’ is out now, meaning the groovy sounds can continue all through the year!

The final line-up needs very little introduction; Louie Vega is every bit the Master At Work as he continues his love affair with Ibiza, Dimitri From Paris is one of the foremost disco dons and Roger Sanchez is a multi-deck wizard that has been at the centre of more than his fair share of amazing house parties. Label boss, DJ and driving force behind this party and Defected records, Simon Dunmore has a pedigree unmatched by most, DJ Pippi is a genuine Ibiza legend and Melon Bomb has been one of the Ibiza finds of the last few years! When it comes to live performers, the Queen of house, Barbara Tucker, is more than capable of rocking the floor.

When it launched, Glitterbox was a party focused on the dancefloor and the music with very little production and that remains the message today. The giant glitterballs aside, the party boasts some sexy dancers and some controversial performers that recreate the naughty Studio 54 vibe as its musical protagonists lay down an unparalleled sound track. The season has been packed with highlights and, with one last chance to savour the unique vibe, it promises to be a monster finale. This is one of the island’s most popular parties, and is packed with legendary talent, make sure you have your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
