Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza, the two clubs operated by The Night League (TNL), have synchronised their residency closings in 2022. Though we're always reluctant to admit it, next week marks the start of the end, as both venues bring their weekly programmes to a close.
Closing parties really do creep up on us each year. It wasn't so long ago we were sweltering in August heat. Such is the way. We could sulk, but far better that we get out on the dancefloor and dance like there's no tomorrow.
TNL has some great parties cued up for us, from Tuesday through to Sunday. There's no suggestion of going out on a whimper. These next seven days in Playa d'en Bossa look dynamite.
Let take a look at each party in closer detail.
CAMELPHAT | Ushuaïa | Tuesday 27 September
Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala finish things up on Tuesday with their final instalment of CAMELPHAT at Ushuaïa. The boys have taken things to new heights this summer, with outrageous production and big time tunes to match.
For the closing party, there's a familiar feel as weekly residents Solardo and Raul Rodriguez are invited back. Stephan Jolk of the Afterlife family is the guest support act. CAMELPHAT are intent on going out on a bang. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
If you missed CAMELPHAT at Ushuaïa this term, then you can still catch them here on 8 October for Ushuaïa's Closing Party.
The Martinez Brothers | Hï Ibiza | Tuesday 27 September
Chris and Steve's legions of fans have lapped up The Martinez Brothers this summer. It's looked like full on Beatlesmania inside The Theatre, with girls holding up placards, throwing underwear and passing out at the mere glimpse of their idols.
For the closing party, TMB are joined by Kerri Chandler and Guti (live).
Full marks must also be given to Paco Osuna, the Bros' wingman in room two. He has had the Club Room not only full but jumpin' each and every Tuesday. For the final edition, Paco is supported by Renato Ratier and a surprise guest TBA. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
Still need convincing at just how successful The Martinez Brothers' debut residency has been? They've been invited to play at both Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza on 8 October.
FISHER | Hï Ibiza | Wednesday 28 September
Wednesdays were not quiet affair in 2022, as FISHER brought the ruckus from mid June all the way until now. In typically reserved and humble fashion, ahem, the madcap Aussie takes the spotlight, finishing the series by playing all night long.
It's no less than he deserves, after packing in the crowds.
Vintage Culture has proved to be an equally inspirational choice as the Club Room host. The Brazilian also plays a longer set. Support comes from Doozie. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
Catch Vintage Culture in The Theatre at the Hï Ibiza Closing Party on 8 October.
Afterlife day & night | Thursday 29 September
Parties don't come any more special than this. The weekly voyage from Tale Of Us has proved to be one of 2022's most popular weekly residencies. Now Afterlife expands for its closing party, for a dual edition that goes from day to night.
Scene giants Sven Väth, Stephan Bodzin and Fideles join Karm and Matteo at Ushuaïa, while the duo themselves go back-to-back with Maceo Plex to close.
Across the road, the talent keeps coming. Dixon, Mind Against and Cassian line-up alongside TOU in The Theatre. ANNA, Kobosil and a huge b2b between Ben Klock & Marcel Dettmann takes place in the Techno-focused Club Room. Konstantin Sibold plays in the Wild Corner.
Overall, a huge spectacle to end Thursdays. Arguably big enough to be a venue closing party (which, of course, Tale Of Us are also invited back for). BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
Future Rave | Hï Ibiza | Friday 30 September
Future Rave was the new project from David Guetta and his pal MORTEN in 2022. Despite being its launch year, the party rode the wave of Guetta's unending mass appeal, resulting in sell-out crowds each week. No slow start to report here.
Radio 1 personality, Arielle Free, has been a sensation as resident, playing almost every week. She's back at the closing party for her 16th show of summer, while ARTBAT are the big guests.
Next door, the man of many talents Idris Elba is joined by BJones, in what is sure to be an equally busy Club Room. Meanwhile, the Wild Corner is in safe hands with Guy Williams, Lulah and Demi. Everywhere is going to be jumping start to finish. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
If you just miss out on this date, then you'll be delighted to know that David Guetta's Ushuaïa residency F*** ME i'M FAMOUS! closes next week, 3 October.
ANTS | Ushuaïa | Saturday 1 October
While not literally the final party, since it also hosts the One More DANTS venue closing a week later, 1 October is certainly the final ANTS Invasion of 2022. Space cadet captain Andrea Oliva is joined by fellow TNL talents Paco Osuna and Vintage Culture, plus ALISHA and Melé.
Pound for pound, it's a strong line-up of Tech House heavyweights that should give the colony a boost heading into the last weekend of summer. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
Andrea Oliva is back a week later, where he is joined by Black Coffee, The Martinez Brothers, CAMELPHAT, Cloonee, Syreeta and more for the real farewell party.
Black Coffee | Hï Ibiza | Saturday 1 October
After ANTS ends, logic dictates carrying on over the the road at Black Coffee. That's been the case all summer - and therefore it would be foolhardy to deviate from that for the closing. Yet again, Black Coffee has ruled Saturday nights with decorum, dignity and benevolence in 2022.
More than ever before, our South African monarch has been a hot ticket. &Me, who was one of the guests at the opening party, is back to help shut things down. In the Club Room, Damian Lazarus calls upon DJ Three and Jonny Rock to assist him. BUY TICKETS & MORE INFO
Two pivotal members of the TNL camp, its a foregone conclusion that both Black Coffee and Damian Lazarus are part of the marathon closing weekend, seven days later.
Glitterbox | Hï Ibiza | Sunday 2 October
Last but by no means least, our Playa d'en Bossa residencies end on Sunday night with Glitterbox. The party is both home and a sanctuary to absolutely fabulous party freaks who represent its kaleidoscopic diversity. That richness of colour is reflected in the line-up.
Removing all the stops for the curtain call, Glitterbox favourites such as Bob Sinclar, Dimitri From Paris, Melvo Baptiste, Horse Meat Disco and Melon Bomb are joined by wildcards Jayda G and Krystal Klear. Glitterbox is bowing out in dramatic style, like the queen she is.
If you miss any of that by a few days, there's no need to fret. Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza wrap up their 2022 season with one final joint Closing Party on 8 October. Going around the clock, One More DANTS opens at midday. Exactly 24 hours later, Hï Ibiza's Closing Party finishes.
