Our gates are officially open and with two weekends (and quite a few dips in and out the Bathtub Club) already under our belts, it’s safe to say we’re already well and truly in the swing of things here at Pikes. Throwing or attending a party here is a bit like riding a bike – it doesn’t matter how long that discoball was packed away for, because once it’s back in pride of place in Freddies, we all remember exactly what we’re supposed to do beneath it.
The toughest thing you’ll have to do this summer is pick which parties you plan to attend, and a quick glance at our well-stacked event calendar should be enough to either give you goosebumps (in the best possible way) or send you into a tailspin. After all, how many parties at Pikes can one person possibly go to (all of them, if you ask our Night Manager Nick!)? Is it even conceivable to pick a favourite day, week or month? Should you simply quit your job and become a full-time Pikes party person? To help make plotting the course of your summer easier, let us introduce you to the brands behind our roster of residencies in 2025…
Back to Mine
It’s the award-winning fiesta that had tongues a-waggling in 2024, and now Back To Mine – with the inimitable Dan Prince pulling the strings behind the scenes – is back for a fifth season, taking over the entire venue’s programming for a whopping eight dates (including two bumper nights in August). The opening party kicks off from 9pm on Thursday April 25 and is always the perfect mix of magic and madness as the who’s who of the electronic music industry descend on Pikes after the long days of IMS conferences and networking are over, congregating beneath the stars in Plaza Mayor, around the pool, and finally, all piling into Freddies to hear the world’s best DJs dig deep into their crates to spin the up-close-and-personal soundtrack they really want you to hear, fusing old school classics, underground gems, secret remixes and unreleased tracks. The opening party line-up includes Eats Everything and Fat Tony, and upcoming special guests include Sasha, Faithless, Gok Wan, Fish56Octagon and more.
Chloé Caillet presents SMIILE
After an epic debut last season, we were super excited to invite Parisian-born, New York-raised, Ibiza based DJ Chloé Caillet back to Pikes in 2025, for another installment of her SMIILE party on Thursday July 10, 2025. The ultra-inclusive party is open to one and all, with a special focus on creating a safe space for the queer community – something we’ve has always encouraged and promoted here at Pikes. Named for her record label and designed to support her identity as a queer artist while championing other creatives, Chloé sees SMIILE as tapping into the energy of rave culture for liberation and letting the music take you on a journey that allows you to be exactly who you want to be. It’s a day-to-night experience with Chloé vibing off the crowd and her special guests as the energy and excitement builds, leading up to her own late-night set in Freddies. It’s all about feeling free, having a good time, letting go, being present and of course, smiling! Watch this space for more news on line-ups as we creep closer to the date.
Disco Disco
The gang from Disco Disco are promoters after our own hearts. This is a night that’s all about the music and all about the people on the dancefloor, so much so that we trust them to keep their line-ups top secret until the morning of each gig. This year, they’re returning to Freddies for four nights of fun, frolics and the finest disco, soul, boogie, funk and rare groove known to mankind, with the opening party taking place on Wednesday June 11. Expect extended sets from some of the best selectors on the planet and a hedonistic, no-holds-barred ambience with no phones allowed on the dancefloor so you can be completely immersed in the moment. Despite the secretive nature of the Disco Disco line-ups each season, our guestlist always fills up fast for each of their events because like us, you, dear party people, know that it’s always going to be a musical treat. So, be quick – sign up now so you don’t miss out.
Flash
With a strap line proclaiming: ‘Everyone is welcome, gay straight, don’t know, don’t care’, Flash is the ultra-inclusive party – spearheaded by the one and only Guy Williams – that invites people from all corners of this ever-evolving great melting pot of an island into Pikes for seven massive nights this summer. Celebrating the fact that Pikes is a safe space for everybody, the nights begin around our legendary Club Tropicana swimming pool with music of a mainly disco and 80s vibe, then moves into Freddies where the soundtrack takes on a housey vibe, mixing things up from deep and jackin’ to 80s and acid. For six of the seven events, Guy invites a like-minded European party partner to co-host the night, including Homoelectric, Adonis, Club Domani and Drop Dance Society among others, and for one night only, it’s all about Island Heroes, with the very best local talent on the decks all night long. The Opening Party on Friday May 09 is one of our most hotly anticipated nights, with a special guest live set from those wild and wacky Confidence Man DJs. If you know, you’ll know to get your name on that guestlist pronto.
Homies
Homies is the party that aims to make clubs feel like home again and in 2025, it’s celebrating its 10th anniversary and its 10th season at Pikes with five exclusive dates in Freddies. Led by our homies Camilo Miranda and Christian Len, who proudly declare that they live their lives in a constant Balearic state of mind, it’s our longest-running residency to date. The party was originally inspired by the idea that the best parties take place at home – in the kitchen, in the bedrooms, in the bathtub and in the backyard – which is an ethos we wholeheartedly support. Championing the very best local line-ups (the who’s who of their ‘Homies’), the vibe is always loose, free and welcoming – no matter where you wind up, you’ll be guaranteed to meet a new crew of like-minded music lovers and make friends for life.
Jaguar presents Utopia
Bass, beats and balls-in-the-air – just a few of the telltale signs that Jaguar is in back in the house! The Introducing Dance R1 host is returning to Pikes for two dates this summer and promises to bring back all the positive energy, cutting-edge sounds and high-vibe frivolity we’ve come to know and love from her UTOPIA parties. Expect a dancefloor filled with friendly faces and open minds (remember, everyone’s welcome beneath our discoball) and a soundtrack that champions the new wave of electronic music, curated by Jaguar and her hand-picked special guests. Book-ending the Ibiza summer season, the first Jaguar presents Utopia party takes place on April 30, with special guest Meg Ward, with the final set for October 16 – watch this space for line-up news. As always with Jaguar’s parties at Pikes, it’s set to be a roadblock so you need to be quick to sign up.
La Discothèque
Inspired by the roots of authentic disco music and the glam of NYC’s most iconic clubs of days gone by, the La Discothèque crew will be strutting back into Pikes like Bianca Jagger did into Studio 54 (minus the white horse and doves – we wouldn’t want to upset our cats, after all!) on two very special occasions this summer. Expect a lot of shimmying and sparkling, electrifying energy inspired by the disco days of old on one of Ibiza’s most iconic dancefloors, plus incredible disco-inspired beats by the very best names in the biz. The first edition takes place on Thursday June 16 and the final on Wednesday October 01, so be sure to dust off your disco boots, channel the spirit of the Paradise Garage and get set embrace the freedom, unity, energy and ecstasy that this disco-fuelled brand stands for. As long as your name’s on the guestlist, of course!
Melon Bomb
The 2025 season sees local Ibiza DJ collective Melon Bomb slide straight into their 10th season and they’ve come a long way baby! From locally loved party crew to one of the hottest names on major clubbing line-ups, their loyal following has crossed continents as the lads – Scott Gray, Paul Reynolds, Ben Santiago and Juan Corbi – tour the globe regularly, playing guest slots at festivals and major clubs alike in addition to their regular Ibiza performances. Their spiritual home, however, remains the hot and sweaty confines of Freddies, where they performed their first ever gig as an ensemble back in 2015. Their Friday night parties are all about having a good time, music that makes people smile, tunes you can sing along to and beats that make you move. The opening party takes place this Friday April 25 and you can expect a down-to-earth crowd of Ibiza residents, expats, born and bred locals, visitors, youngsters, oldies and everyone in between.
Music For Freaks
Our friends from music For Freaks are back for just one exclusive party date this season so whatever you do, be sure to put Thursday May 22 in your diary and sign up for guestlist right now. The Ibiza-based label, launched by Justin Harris and Luke Solomon 25 years ago (time flies when you’re having fun, right?), prides itself on bending people’s perception of house music and has inspired a legion of house-loving ‘freaksters’ to make the pilgrimages to their gigs, snap up their releases and just generally sing their praises worldwide for decades. These self-declared ‘original misfits of house’ have built a stable of incredible artists, and we can’t wait to see who’ll be joining them on the line-up this summe
OpenLab
Founded in 2013 by the late, great Robert Miles, OpenLab is the island’s most forward thinking radio station, broadcasting 24/7 online, and on FM radio in Ibiza and Formentera, and they’ll also be taking over Pikes for three dates throughout the summer. The station is so much more than just a musical platform – the idea behind OpenLab is to bring together music, art, technology and innovation to deliver you (in their words) ‘tomorrow’s world today’. Forget the FM standard of rolling four-four beats – the music policy here is to share the very best in electronic, alternative, ambient, experimental, chillout, modern classical, soul and jazz, and their programming at Pikes will be no different, with line-ups featuring dynamic local and international artists plus future pioneers of the electronic music scene. The first of the takeovers takes place on Thursday May 01 with Tristan Da Cunha, A.M. Project, Yass & Mali, Antonio Prosper and Santacreu – a night that’s guaranteed to keep your feet moving, your mind inspired and your soul connected.
Sarah Story presents STORIES
We had so much fun with the delightful Sarah Story last summer that we couldn’t resist inviting her back to Pikes in 2025 so we can do it all over again! The BBC Radio 1 Future Dance host is set to bring her label, club series and artist platform STORIES back to our dancefloor for a handful of dates this season, and the line-ups (which are strictly under wraps for now) will feature a hand-picked selection of labelmates and special guests to spin alongside Sarah herself. STORIES is all about championing new artists, showcasing rising talent, supporting emerging producers and building a community of like-minded music lovers and we think there’s no finer place than Freddies to watch it all unfold. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media for news on the Sarah Story presents STORIES Opening Party.
Vitalik
Last, but absolutely never least on our list of residencies for 2025 is Vitalik, returning for five nights across the course of the season. A natural extension of the homegrown label and recording studio founded by local party starter extraordinaire, Ryan O Gorman, Vitalik champions the finest house and techno talents alongside some seriously special guests. A hub for musical creativity, the spirit of Vitalik is deeply woven into the electronic music fabric of the island, with origins harking back to the free party scene of the early 2000s, carrying through to some of the most memorable early morning sessions at Space, and now, continuing its tradition of pioneering Balearic underground rave culture in the depths of Freddies. The Opening Party is slated for Friday May 02 – watch this space for line-up news!
