About Classic Ibiza
Classic Ibiza has revolutionised the way audiences experience dance music, taking the most beloved anthems from the White Isle and elevating them with the power and majesty of a live orchestra. What began as a bold experiment has grown into a phenomenon, captivating crowds across the UK with its unique blend of classical precision and electronic euphoria. The concept is simple yet incredibly effective: iconic tracks from the golden era of Ibiza are meticulously re-orchestrated, allowing their melodic brilliance to truly shine, while retaining their essential dancefloor energy.
The heart of Classic Ibiza is the 65-piece Urban Soul Orchestra, a collective renowned for its versatility and skill in bridging classical and contemporary genres. They are joined by a host of talented live vocalists who bring an authentic, emotive depth to tracks originally sung by legendary artists. Driving the rhythm and ensuring the party atmosphere remains electric is the resident DJ, who expertly weaves in beats and basslines, ensuring a seamless transition between the live orchestral movements and the pulsating club sound. Expect to hear everything from the euphoric highs of Faithless to the melodic beauty of Orbital, the driving force of Underworld, and the atmospheric genius of Moby. Classic Ibiza isn’t just about recreating hits; it’s about celebrating the enduring legacy of dance music through an innovative and utterly spectacular lens. Each performance is a journey, building from a chilled sunset vibe to a full-blown, hands-in-the-air rave, all orchestrated with breathtaking precision and passion.
