Two of Ibiza’s most loved and respected music brands – Ibiza Rocks Group and Electric Ibiza – are teaming up and taking Ibiza’s No.1 pool party to Dubai’s No.1 entertainment destination – SOHO Garden. Already a jewel in the crown of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel pool party programme, ‘Cuckoo Land’will fly the Ibiza nest for the first time and kick-start the partnership with a special party at SOHO Beach within SOHO Garden on 15th February with Gorgon City, Dennis Cruz, Max Chapman and the Cuckoo Land Ibiza residents.
Jordan Hallpike, Director of Talent & Programming, Ibiza Rocks Group said: “Soho Garden is simply mindblowing and opens up so much opportunity for us to work with such a talented team to elevate the pool party experience beyond anything Dubai has ever seen. Whether it’s pool parties, club experiences or spectacular live shows, there’s scope to do it all and we’re so excited at the prospect and to start the party with Cuckoo Land in January.”
The partnership will bring 6 exclusive events to SOHO Garden, in collaboration with Electric Ibiza, the brains behind pioneering Ibiza brand Do Not Sleep, EPIC Pool Parties in Miami and a history of acclaimed international parties, Cuckoo Land in Ibiza has allured an incredible selection of world-class talent including Claptone, Disciples, Latmun, Waze & Odyssey, Amine Edge & Dance and 2018 resident Sonny Fodera.

This will be a Dubai debut for both Electric Ibiza and Ibiza Rocks who have found the perfect partner in Soho Garden Group.
