    Go to the closing parties - they're crazy!! I was there in sept 2000 for the closing...f'in fantastic!!!

    there are ibiza websites out there which should have the schedule.

    If you cannot make the closing parties, shoot for the opening parties.

        yeah i'd rather go to the closing parties than the opening ones. But even more than that I would just love to go and see some great shows.

          Totally agree, September for the closing parties is the time to go. Do NOT go in August - the island is absolutely heaving because it's the school holidays, you will have families and teenagers everywhere.

          If you can't do September then the opening parties in June are probably next best.

            Go in July...the opening parties and the closing parties can both be a bit dead imo...August is a fucking nightmare as it's so busy. July is busy but not ridiculously so, and the vibe is great as everyone's got into the swing of things by then without being too burnt out from weeks without sleep.

            Any idea where you're planning on staying/dancing?

              Don't go in the middle of August! Very crowded, very hot and it's still high season. Go too early in June and the island won't really be in full swing. I personally like September, BUT some of the nights are done for the season. Look at the Ibiza spotlight calendar for this year, and figure out what looks the most appealing to you as far as talent. NO guarantee the talent will be there at the same venue, but you'll get a better idea of what goes on. PM if you like. ALSO Si has been there many times.

                Not yet but my best friend lives in Barcelona, he was there twice this summer so he knows how to get around. Well amnesia and space are obvious choices...DC-10 also but we all know the situation right know.

                  I am heading there in late September for some closing parties. Have done June, July and Sep in the past, and would definitely recommend Sep every time.

                  My friend just came back and said it was 65 euros to get into Pacha on a Thursday night. If that is the case, I won't be frequenting that club this year!

                          i liked going in sept because of the fact that the clubs wern't rammed. perfect amount of people by peak hour. just enough to feel like you're in the best place in the world (which you are) but not too many that its painful to get around.

                          weather was ace. all the parties were going big one last time. fuck i need to get back one more time.

                            Best to avoid august ... but I'd recommend waiting to see who's playing and when. If you time things right you can catch all the top DJ's in a short period. Digweed with Carl Cox happens every year and is a top top night at Space, but the dates come out late.

                            June - in 2007 Jimmy van M, John Digweed and Hernan played for 8 x hours between them at Pacha ... this year Sasha was playing Amnesia. It's slightly cheaper and easier to get accomodation etc. Space opening early June always has a big bill.

                            July - JD usually plays with Carl, also Sasha was appearing @ Amnesia ... getting to peak season so its harder to get accomodation also prices start to rise.

                            August - peak season, peak prices so best to avoid unless there's a must see gig.

                            September - Sasha usually plays Space around the 1st Sunday (always a highlight, as he pulls his best out for this one, which coincides with his b-day) ... this year he's playing the terrace.

                            This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.
