The following article tries to paint a rather depressing view of the future of the the dance mecca of the world http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/tol/...cle2072859.ece : some of the best sets i've witnessed from the likes of Sasha, Digweed & Hernan have been on that island - it brings out the best in EDM and, at times, makes it truly magical. Worse still, this could be a look into the future of our clubbing lives - if the authorities can mess with somewhere that is known to embrace club culture, and (crucially) depends on it economically, what do the coming years hold for us ? Looks like I'll have to be spending my future summers in the eastern block.

Great, yet another legendary place for edm that has a bleak future before I can even get out to experience it. -
Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?
I can't believe they only get 10 cases a week of drug or alchohol intoxication and they think they have a major drug problem. but not an alchohol problem of course!!

Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?
Geez we can get 10 cases a night in some of a large club out here! There's no way that figure of theirs is accurate.
A couple of things to note: it won't kill the island off economically. Just say hypothetically all the clubbers disappeared, a different set of holiday makers would be tripping over themselves to make use of the island.
It looks like I'll have to get my ass in to gear and get myself over there before it all disappears, but I find it hard to justify the couple of grand which will be blown in one single week.

I would actually rather go to Argentina than Ibiza now!!Geez we can get 10 cases a night in some of a large club out here! There's no way that figure of theirs is accurate.

Top of my list for me after taking a careful look at their website is Warung Beach.
Anyone up for a meet up and can buy me a ticket?

Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?
DiDi - you're right, alcohol causes far more problems and South America may well be the way forward - although the movies I see always give me the impression that I'll get kidnapped by guerillas, plus being English in Argentina may cause a problem, even though I love Argentinian's and was a small boy when the counties had their troubles ! ... I've always wanted to make it to Buenos Aires, Punta del'este, and (now) Warung Beach. The good thing with ibiza is it takes no planning for me and is convenient - I go back in 10-days for Digweed at Space ... I booked a cheap flight last minute, can get a reasonably priced hotel and know all the local restaurants that give me a fantastic meal that's easy on the wallet.sigpicSimonR

Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?
I don't think Ibiza is going anyhwere any time soon. It would be nice if it's less crowded... I'll be there in 4 weeks.
