Amnesia Ibiza wrapped up its 50th anniversary season with a 19-hour Closing Festival on October 10, stretching from an outdoor opening party straight through to sunrise on the club’s famed Terrace. The celebration spanned three distinct dancefloors and brought together a lineup built around the club’s history — from early house pioneers to the techno names currently defining its Main Room.
For the first time in the venue’s history, Amnesia turned its car park into a stage. Dubbed the Anniversary Area, the open-air space kicked things off at 5 p.m. and ran for six hours, recreating the under-the-stars dancing that defined the club’s earliest parties long before it became a fixture of international club culture.
Luca Donzelli opened the Anniversary Area, followed by a back-to-back from Kolter and Traumer. Joseph Capriati, a longtime fixture at the club, soundtracked the sunset with a set capped by a surprise appearance from Locomia. Alisha b2b Julian Fijma kept things moving before Groove Armada and Max Dean closed the outdoor leg with remixes of ‘Rapture,’ ‘Lovelee Dae’ and ‘World a Reggae.’
At 11 p.m., the party moved inside across three rooms, each tied to a different chapter of Amnesia’s musical identity.
Three Rooms, Three Eras
The Main Room leaned into hard-hitting techno with a lineup heavy on the women who shaped the club’s season. Resident Katnada opened, handing things off to rising talent Estella Boersma. Serafina and Yanamaste followed with a back-to-back, building on what was reportedly a standout season for the Georgian artist at the venue.
Nina Kraviz and Deborah De Luca took over mid-set, both artists with deep ties to the club and its summer crowd. Future666 pushed the energy further before Klangkuenstler closed the room — his only confirmed Ibiza date of 2026.
Amnesia also debuted El Taller, a smaller room built around the club’s back catalog. Les Schmitz, a longtime resident who curated the tracklist for Amnesia’s 50th anniversary vinyl series, played alongside Franco Moiraghi and Jason Bye, offering a more intimate, nostalgia-driven set tied directly to the club’s archival releases.
The Terrace carried the night’s house music lineage, a thread running back to Alfredo, Ricardo Villalobos and Luciano, all artists who helped define Ibiza’s house sound at Amnesia. Jamie Fielding, Luke Dean b2b Locky, Marco Faraone b2b Obskur and Max Dean b2b Sidney Charles moved the room toward one of the festival’s key moments: a set from Mar-T, the club’s musical director, who paired music and visuals into a retrospective of the venue’s five decades.
As sunrise hit the Terrace, Saoirse and Enzo Siragusa closed out the celebration with a back-to-back set, bringing the 19-hour run to midday Sunday.
