On June 8, Armin van Buuren returns to Ushuaïa Ibiza with a bold and rare six hour non-stop set to mark the opening of his summer residency. This time, he’s doing more than performing. He’s making a statement. Ushuaïa Ibiza, one of the world’s most iconic venues, will give Armin six uninterrupted hours to deliver a rare open-to-close set. There will be no support acts. No distractions. Just Armin from sunlight to starlight, crafting a sonic journey through trance, progressive, and emotional mainstage music.
“I don’t do open-to-close sets often,” Armin shared. “But when I do, it’s because the moment calls for it.” He continued, “Ushuaïa is one of the most iconic venues in the world, and Ibiza holds a special place in my heart. Kicking off the summer with an extended solo set there feels like the perfect way to begin the season.”
It’s not just another date—it’s the first chapter in a nine-week residency. Armin headlines every Sunday from June 8 through July 6, and again from September 7 to 28.
A Residency That Mixes Legends and Future Heroes
While Armin owns the opening night, the rest of the season features a handpicked lineup of collaborators. This is where the residency evolves into a full-scale vision. Longtime friends, festival staples, and breakout stars will take the stage alongside him across both summer chapters. This isn’t a nostalgia act. Armin is building a sonic mosaic that reflects where the scene is headed, not just where it’s been.
Confirmed names include Cosmic Gate, Vini Vici, Oliver Heldens, Massano, Lilly Palmer, and Marlon Hoffstadt. The energy spans genres—techno, trance, mainstage house, and hybrid styles. Armin’s curating a space where legends meet new blood, and fans hear dance music’s full emotional spectrum. There’s festival firepower from D.O.D., Fedde Le Grand, and Seth Hills. Melodic minds like AVIRA, SUPERSTRINGS, and Laura van Dam offer depth and contrast. Then there’s Inafekt, Funk Tribu, and Surf 2 Glory pushing experimental and underground angles. The lineup includes: Avalan Rokston, Ben Gold, Billy Gillies, CIS, Olympe, Ruben de Ronde, and Saidah—each one bringing a distinct perspective.
Ushuaïa Is Still the Benchmark—and Armin’s Raising the Bar
Ibiza changes every summer, but Ushuaïa remains the benchmark for open-air clubbing. Its stage production, atmosphere, and global reach are unmatched. More than music—it’s about storytelling at scale. And Armin knows exactly how to deliver that story. Choosing Ushuaïa for a six-hour set is strategy and brilliance rolled into one. It’s the only place that can handle this level of vision and execution.
From dusk until nightfall, Armin will build a narrative no playlist can replicate. Ibiza’s dominance may be challenged by new destinations, but this residency shows it’s still the spiritual capital of dance music. Tickets for all nine shows are on sale now via theushuaiaexperience.com.
With a season this ambitious, demand will be fierce. Fans worldwide are already eyeing the opener as a summer-defining moment. Armin van Buuren’s Ushuaïa 2025 residency isn’t about fitting into trends—it’s about setting them. The message is clear: Ibiza’s magic still exists. You just need an artist brave enough to lead.
