Music with a message

INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed DJs Roger Sanchez and Nic Fanciulli will be leading the way on August 11th and 12th at S’Arenal beach in San Antonio, Ibiza, headlining a free two­day beach party along with a broad collection of international and local artists. Over 20,000 festival attendees are expected to enjoy the beats from 5.00 pm to 1:00 am each day.

The event, organised by Ibiza Global Radio, will feature both renowned international performers and local talent. Daniele Luppino, Ibiza Global Radio CEO, says, ‘Last year we took on the challenge to bring a free two­day electronic music festival to Ibiza for the first time, and we were immensely proud to see how well it was received by the island. With 15,000 electronic music lovers dancing on San Antonio’s largest beach each day and I have every faith that we can deliver and exceed expectations, again.’

This will be more than just a music festival as the festival’s environmental plans include engaging beach cleaning volunteers and the elimination of single­use plastic. Biodegradable materials will be used, and dancers will be encouraged to collect waste. Environmental awareness will be promoted through interviews and talks.

The festival has also pledged to measure its environmental impact. By calculating energy consumption, water usage, and CO2 emissions, they plan to plant an equivalent number of trees in an area affected by a major fire the previous year.

While not entirely plastic­free, the festival aims to set an example globally. They have partnered with Bye Bye Plastic and are taking significant steps towards sustainability, sharing their commitment to environmental care.
