Historically, one residency has liked to keep its loyal dancefloor fans waiting for news. Thankfully, the deafening silence has now been broken, as Solomun +1 lines up its guests for Sunday nights at Pacha.
This summer, Solomun's instinct for freshening things up without ever straying too far off track has been pushed to the limit. A line-up dotted with trusted past collaborators has been supplemented by some eyebrow-raising curveballs in a manner that only Solomun can pull off.
Returning from last year are Chloé Caillet, Denis Sulta, Job Jobse and DJ Gigola, while a season without Solomun side-by-side with Kristian Beyer from Âme is hard to imagine.
That isn't to say there aren't any surprise omissions. This year, there is no date for either Dixon or Gerd Janson, both long-term fixtures.
Thankfully, in their absence, Mladen has brought in some dynamite names.
Last year's headliner at Pacha's Grand Closing Party, Peggy Gou is one. Another who fits the profile of an archetypal +1 and has surely been in consideration in past years is Carlita, who gets her first call.
Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angello (previously a surprise guest in 2023) and recently announced [UNVRS] signee Anyma lean into a more commercial pivot for their respective 3 August and 7 September appearances.
However, pulling in the opposite direction, we're gifted Four Tet, Jamie XX and Caribou (DJ set) within the space of a six-week run starting 10 August.
This year's wildcard - and there's normally at least one - is New York-based art, fashion and nightlife disruptor The Dare, who add a touch of edge on 17 August.
Then, saving arguably the biggest for last, Solomun invites Marco Carola on week three to reciprocate his own Music On invitation.
The programme also includes four Solomun all night long sets, including the opening party on 8 June, 29 June, 13 July and the closing party on 5 October.
No matter who your date/s does or doesn't involve, at the heart of +1 is the creative fire that drives Solomun himself. Yet again, he has reframed what to expect from the residency.
Below you can see the full schedule, as well as find those all-important tickets.
The price you see now, won't be price listed closer to the date. Therefore this one demands an early purchase and the addition of cancellation insurance, to lock in the current price with no risk. Don't forget your own +1.
