From Sitgest To Ibiza: Tini Gesslser's Massive 2026 Summer

Tini Gessler Is Having Her Biggest Year Yet And The Summer Has Not Even Started

She dropped a new single on May 29. She made her Fabric London debut on May 22. She has nine Ibiza club dates across the summer sharing stages with Carl Cox, David Guetta, John Summit, and MEDUZA. And she is confirmed for Kappa FuturFestival, Family Piknik in Montpellier, and Carl Cox Lisbon. All of that happened or was confirmed in the last two weeks.

Tini Gessler is not building toward something. She is already there. And 2026 is the year the rest of the world is catching up.

From Sitges To The Big Rooms

Starting out playing small parties in her home town of Sitges, Tini was soon picked up by Pacha Barcelona where she held a three-year residency and it was not long after that she found herself playing at iconic clubs including Space and Pacha Ibiza. Since then Tini has cemented herself as part of the Elrow team, as resident DJ for their underground label KER, playing alongside international artists such as Jamie Jones, Paco Osuna and Joseph Capriati.

Born in Germany and raised in Spain, she has spent over a decade turning local momentum into international demand. Her sound combines house and techno with melodic detail and her profile has grown to connect her to major clubs and festivals including Ushuaïa, Hï Ibiza, Tomorrowland, and Sziget. That foundation explains why her sets have become so effective in big room and peak-time settings. She does not play to impress. She plays to move rooms and she has been doing it consistently since 2013.

The Fabric London Debut

On Friday May 22 Tini Gessler played fabric London for the very first time. The event featured Vintage Culture on an All Night Long set alongside Script, ASHOJU, and I Like Wires. A first-time appearance at fabric is not a casual booking. The Farringdon institution is one of the most respected and culturally significant clubs in the world and getting booked for a night headlined by Vintage Culture, one of the biggest names in global house music, is exactly the kind of milestone that does not go unnoticed.

The night ran from 23:00 to 06:00 and for an artist who started playing small parties in Sitges in 2013, making her fabric debut in May 2026 is the kind of full circle moment that a career like hers has been quietly building toward for over a decade.

The Latest Record: Play Me

Play Me dropped on May 29 2026 via LIP SERVICE, the label that sits at the crossroads of underground credibility and dancefloor functionality. The message behind the title is simple: this record is built for rooms, not playlists. That has always been Tini Gessler's philosophy and Play Me is the clearest expression of it she has put out in 2026.

The track sits neatly in modern tech house territory, driving enough for peak time sets while carrying enough musical detail to hold up outside the club. It is already finding its way into DJ rotations and based on where her records have gone before, that is only going to grow across the summer.

Play Me is out now on all platforms via LIP SERVICE.

The Ibiza Summer: Nine Dates, No Weak Links

This is the most concentrated Ibiza run of Tini Gessler's career and it is genuinely stacked. Nine club dates across UNVRS, Ushuaïa, and Hï Ibiza from June through October, sharing stages with the biggest names in house music:

• 13 Jun: elrow Ibiza at UNVRS with Nic Fanciulli
• 22 Jun: John Summit presents Experts Only at UNVRS with John Summit, Layton Giordani, Patrick Topping
• 4 Jul: ANTS at Ushuaïa with Adam Beyer
• 1 Aug: elrow Ibiza at UNVRS with Hot Since 82 and Marco Faraone
• 9 Aug: Carl Cox at UNVRS with Carl Cox and Luciano
• 26 Aug: MEDUZA and James Hype: OUR HOUSE at Hï Ibiza
• 12 Sep: elrow Ibiza at UNVRS with Joris Voorn
• 14 Sep: F*** Me I'm Famous by David Guetta at Ushuaïa with David Guetta and Miss Monique
• 3 Oct: elrow Ibiza Closing Party at UNVRS with ATT, Chelina Manuhutu, and Paco Osuna

Carl Cox. David Guetta. John Summit. MEDUZA. Adam Beyer. These are not support slots. These are bookings that confirm Tini Gessler is now a core fixture on the island's biggest party lineups. The elrow closing party on October 3 closes her entire Ibiza season and is one of the most anticipated closing nights of the year.

The Festival Run

Beyond Ibiza the festival schedule is just as serious:

• 3 Jul: Kappa FuturFestival, Parco Dora, Turin alongside Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Chris Lake, Four Tet, Solomun, and Michael Bibi
• 1 Aug: Family Piknik Festival, Montpellier alongside Armand Van Helden, BLOND:ISH, and Korolova
• 5 Sep: Carl Cox Lisbon 2026 alongside Carl Cox, John Digweed, Loco Dice, and Ben Sterling
•  

Kappa FuturFestival is one of the greatest underground festival stages in Europe. Carl Cox Lisbon on September 5 puts her on the bill of one of the most prestigious headline events of the autumn season. Playing alongside Carl Cox twice in the same summer, once in Ibiza and once in Lisbon, is not something that happens to artists who are not fully trusted by the people booking these lineups.

And Then There Is Groove Cruise 2027

Before the year is even over, Tini Gessler is already confirmed for Groove Cruise 2027, a five-day music cruise departing from Miami on January 21 2027 featuring Adam Beyer, Markus Schulz, Space 92, and over 50 artists aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. One of the most unique electronic music experiences in the world and she is on it.

The Bigger Picture

Nine Ibiza club dates. Three major festivals. A Fabric London debut. A new single on LIP SERVICE. Groove Cruise 2027 already booked. Her next confirmed UK show is at Drumsheds in London, one of the most prestigious large-scale club venues in Europe.

Tini Gessler is not chasing one breakout moment. She is building a long-term run through consistent releases, strong label placements, and bookings that keep getting bigger. Play Me is the newest proof of her studio direction. The Fabric debut adds a major live milestone. The Ibiza summer confirms she is now operating at the top level of the global house music circuit.

The summer has not even properly started yet.
