The Amnesia closing party of 2026 was more than a season finale. On Saturday 10 October the Ibiza institution, which opened its doors in 1976, wrapped up its 50th anniversary summer with a 19-hour marathon that went from a late-afternoon open-air party to a midday Terrace send-off on Sunday.
The hype was clear well before anyone played a record. For the first time in the club’s history, the closing sold out in under three hours, and the lineup hadn’t even been announced.
Amnesia closing party goes open-air
For the first time, Amnesia turned its car park into a stage. The Anniversary Area ran from 5pm to 11pm as a nod to the island’s early days of dancing under open skies. Luca Donzelli opened, then Kolter and Traumer went back-to-back. Joseph Capriati soundtracked the sunset, and his set ended with a surprise appearance from Spanish pop-dance icons Locomía. Alisha b2b Julian Fijma kept things moving before Groove Armada and Max Dean wrapped up the outdoor leg with reworks of ‘Rapture’, ‘Lovelee Dae’ and ‘World A Reggae’.
Three rooms, three chapters
At 11pm the party moved indoors. The Main Room went hard on techno with Nina Kraviz, Deborah De Luca, Klangkuenstler, Estella Boersma, Future.666, resident Katnada and a Yanamaste b2b Serafina pairing. Over on the Terrace, residents Caal and Mar-T shared the night with Enzo Siragusa b2b Saoirse, Luke Dean b2b Locky, Marco Faraone b2b Obskür and Max Dean b2b Sidney Charles.
The night also opened a brand-new room. El Taller, a third indoor space that had never been used before, was handed to long-serving residents Jason Bye, Les Schmitz and Franco Moiraghi. Schmitz also picked the tracks for the club’s 50-track anniversary compilation, 50 Years Dancing.
A Sweet Dreams sunrise
At 9am, Capriati and Josh Baker took over the Terrace for the season’s final set. It was a repeat of the sunrise back-to-back they played at the May opening. The pair played for just over three hours, working in ‘I Want Your Soul’, ‘Benediction’ and Martin Buttrich’s ‘I’m Going There One Day’. Space Ibiza founder Pepe Roselló even turned up in the booth. The last record of the summer was Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)’. It was an easy closer for a crowd that had spent the night moving between four dancefloors and several generations of club music.
The season’s tagline was “Ibiza Changed. We Didn’t.” This closing showed what that looks like in practice: still music-first after five decades, with a few new tricks along the way.
