About IMS Grand Finale
IMS Grand Finale might be the exclamation point at the end of International Music Summit, but for all intents and purposes it serves as the curtain-raiser to the clubbing season. Like a chain reaction, one big outdoor party to kick-off all the others.
The fact we get to dance in its location only once a year makes it all the more magical.
We believe everybody should experience this spectacle at least once. But, as far as we're concerned, it's always one of the highlights of the year. Just try keeping us away!

Ibiza Town is the capital of the island. Here you will find a metropolitan centre, port area and the Old Town - the last of which we will pay particular attention to now. IMS Grand Finale is an outdoor party that takes place within the walls of the medieval fortress.
This location has amazing views across the marina and is overlooked by the cathedral, which is itself illuminated with an ethereal quality after nightfall. A unique location, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the best party venues on the planet.
Who?
The most notable names on the line up are legendary broadcaster and DJ Pete Tong MBE (pictured below) and Spanish stalwart Paco Osuna. As one of the founders of IMS, Pete is an annual fixture at Grand Finale, while Paco last appeared at the party in 2018.
More interesting than the big names, is the rest of the bill.
Rhythm Section label boss Bradley Zero has been one of the unsung heroes of Circoloco in recent years, while few DJs come as highly touted by industry-insiders as Deer Jade. Latin-infused HUGEL is set for a huge summer on Ibiza and female Garage collective Girl Don't Sync have been rebalancing the playing field. These are just a handful of highlights to look out for.
Full line up: (A-Z) Bradley Zero, Deer Jade, Girls Don't Sync, HUGEL, KOROLOVA, Luxi Villar, Major League DJz, Paco Osuna, Pete Tong and TSHA
What?
International Music Summit (IMS) is our music business conference, which takes place over three days at the end of April. Professionals from all corners of the industry fly in especially. For the second year, it is hosted by Hyde & Mondrian complex in Cala Llonga.
IMS culminates in the Grand Finale on Friday evening - the first large scale party of the calendar. After three days of intense debate, analysis, workshops and networking, we're ready to let loose, party and herald the start of another tourist season on Ibiza.
This year's theme is Intergenerational Exchange. Considering the mixture of emerging talent and the old guard, the line up certainly stays true to that.
Why?
Five good reasons to go:
- IMS Grand Finale is the official curtain-raiser to the season - it all starts here
- one of the most breathtaking party locations on the planet - world class programming meets postcard perfection
- the party usually throws up some fantasy back-to-back pairings - still TBA for 2025
- a real range of styles on display from Melodic Techno to Deep-Tech to Afro House
- Dalt Vila recently celebrated 25 years of its UNESCO World Heritage Site status - that alone justifies throwing one big party
Also worth knowing
Forget about getting a taxi immediately afterwards - unless you want to queue for ages. Prop up at one the many bars and enjoy a nightcap before heading into the night.
