A whole host of Radio 1 shows will also be live from the shores of Ibiza across the dance-fuelled weekend – now in its 19th year. Nick Grimshaw will kick off proceedings, broadcasting The Radio 1 Breakfast Show from the White Isle on Friday 1st August.

I¹m delighted to be returning to Ibiza for the 19th consecutive year and showcasing the cream of global DJ talent. Ushuaia, as the biggest free event on the island, goes from strength to strength with a stellar line-up including a few surprises. The Radio 1 Cream @ Privilege party, again with a monumental line-up continues to be the highlight of the Ibiza season.²
