Glitterbox Opens at Amnesia Next Friday and the Lineup Is stacked.
Glitterbox just moved to Amnesia Ibiza and opened their 22-week residency with one of the most stacked Friday night lineups the island has seen in years.
Next Friday, May 15, Glitterbox opens its doors at Amnesia Ibiza for the first time and if the opening night lineup is anything to go by, this summer is going to be something very special. After spending over a decade as one of the most beloved Friday nights at Hï Ibiza, the party has made its move to one of the island's most iconic and storied venues and landed there with a lineup that absolutely means business from night one.
Glitterbox arrives at Amnesia Ibiza for a 22-date residency running every Friday from May 15 through October 9, marking a new chapter for one of the island's most recognisable party brands, which is also joining Amnesia during its 50th anniversary season. Two institutions. One dancefloor. Twenty-two Fridays. The timing could not be better.
Why moving to Amnesia is actually a huge deal
After a tenure that lasted over a decade in Playa d'en Bossa, Glitterbox's move to Amnesia on Friday nights marks a fresh era for one of the island's most recognisable brands. This is not just a venue change. Amnesia carries a weight and a history that very few clubs anywhere in the world can claim. As Amnesia celebrates half a century at the centre of Ibiza nightlife, Glitterbox's arrival promises a season that honours the past while celebrating the present, a coming together of club culture's heritage, community, and pure dancefloor joy.
The people behind Glitterbox put it simply. In their own words: Amnesia is one of Ibiza's longest-standing institutions, and there is something incredible that happens when a night moves into a room with that kind of history. Fridays at Amnesia allow them to reset the Glitterbox experience and reconnect with the essence of clubbing, inclusive, emotional, and driven entirely by the dancefloor.
That is exactly what Glitterbox has always been about and now it has the room to match.
The opening night lineup on May 15
The opening party on May 15 features Armand Van Helden, Horse Meat Disco, Jayda G, Louie Vega, Melvo Baptiste, Skream performing a disco set, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor live. Read that list again slowly. Armand Van Helden and Louie Vega in the same room on the same night at Amnesia Ibiza. Jayda G who has been one of the most in demand DJs on the planet for the past three years. Horse Meat Disco who are basically the living definition of what Glitterbox stands for. Skream doing a full disco set which if you have never experienced is something you need to immediately add to your life goals. And Sophie Ellis-Bextor performing live which at this point after her extraordinary post lockdown moment is one of the most joyful things you can witness on a dancefloor anywhere.
That is not an opening night lineup. That is a statement.
What the rest of the summer looks like
The opening night is just the beginning. Across the full season, heavyweight names including Derrick Carter, Honey Dijon, Basement Jaxx, and Purple Disco Machine lead the charge alongside scene favourites like Folamour and The Shapeshifters, with further standout sets from DJ Jazzy Jeff, David Morales, Dennis Sulta, and Moodymann spanning disco, house and everything in between.
Modern tastemakers including Krystal Klear, DJ Holographic, Bellaire, Channel Tres, Dan Shake and O'Flynn also feature across the summer run. That combination of legacy artists and current voices is what has always made Glitterbox feel different from a straightforward house night. It is not one generation or one sound. It is every generation that ever loved a dancefloor, all in the same room at the same time.
What Glitterbox actually is for anyone who needs to know
Glitterbox is easily the best current example of a party on Ibiza that embodies the carefree, inclusive spirit of disco. It harks back to the multicoloured exuberance of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s heyday. Sassiness and glamour can be found everywhere. Gay, straight or mind your own business, this is a party for everybody. A place where prejudice and ego are left at the door.
The vibe comes first. DJs serve the dancefloor, not the other way around. Glitterbox at Amnesia is a return to the soul of Ibiza clubbing. Emotional, inclusive, sweat-driven, and joy-led. Not about trends or headliners, but about losing yourself on one of the island's most historic dancefloors.
In 2026 when so much of nightlife feels designed for content rather than connection, that proposition is genuinely radical. And the fact that it is landing at Amnesia, in its 50th anniversary year, with a lineup that starts with Armand Van Helden and Louie Vega and does not let up from there, makes next Friday one of the most anticipated opening nights of the entire Ibiza summer.
Glitterbox at Amnesia Ibiza opens May 15 and runs every Friday until October 9. Tickets are at amnesia.es.
