This is how Paradise will look at UNVRS in 2026

Paradise is entering a new phase in Ibiza. In 2026, Jamie Jones brings his long-running concept back to UNVRS with a renewed creative narrative titled Paradise: Starship Eden. The residency will take place every Wednesday from 10 June to 7 October, spanning 18 dates, and marks the second consecutive season of this party at the venue.

Rather than a simple continuation, the new season represents a clear evolution. Starship Eden introduces a science-fiction-inspired framework that builds on the foundations of Paradise while taking full advantage of UNVRS’ technological and production capabilities. The result is a concept designed to unfold throughout the night, combining music, visual storytelling and immersive design into a single experience.

A new chapter rather than a reinvention

Paradise has been part of Ibiza’s club landscape for over a decade. Across different venues and formats, it has developed a reputation for musical consistency and carefully curated line-ups. Its arrival at UNVRS marked a turning point, placing the party inside one of the island’s most advanced club spaces, developed by The Night League.

With Starship Eden, Jones opens what he describes as the second chapter of his residency at Ibiza’s hyper club. The concept is built around the idea of a sentient cosmic vessel, not a machine but a living organism that moves through space in search of beauty, balance and coexistence. This narrative provides a loose framework rather than a fixed storyline, allowing the experience to shift and grow over the course of each night.

Starship Eden: an evolving spatial narrative

Starship Eden is imagined as a futuristic arc, a floating ecosystem where alien vegetation, bioluminescent forms and organic structures exist in zero gravity. Within this environment, sound plays an active role. Music does not simply accompany the visuals; it activates them. Rhythms reshape the space, frequencies trigger movement, and the production responds dynamically to what is happening on the dancefloor.

The club’s design makes this possible. The venue’s immersive production systems and spatial layout allow this party to move beyond static stage design, creating an environment that evolves as the night progresses. Rather than a single visual moment, Starship Eden is conceived as a living world, one that is explored collectively by the audience every Wednesday.

Building on a strong debut season

Paradise’s return to UNVRS is underpinned by a successful first season at the club. During its debut year, Jones was joined by a wide range of influential artists, reinforcing the brand’s position within contemporary electronic music. Guests included Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Seth Troxler, Bedouin, Chris Stussy, Hot Since 82, Skepta, Fleur Shore, Archie Hamilton, Josh Baker and Richy Ahmed, among others.

This mix of established names and emerging talent reflects Paradise’s long-standing curatorial approach: maintaining a clear musical identity while allowing space for new voices to develop.

A creative universe shaped by music

Paradise is closely linked to Jones’ wider creative output, particularly through Hot Creations, the label he founded more than fifteen years ago. Over time, Hot Creations has played a key role in shaping global house music, providing a platform for both established artists and new generations.

That same philosophy informs Paradise. The focus remains on connection with the audience, respect for club culture and a belief in the dancefloor as a shared space. Starship Eden does not replace those values; it provides a new visual and conceptual language through which they can be expressed.

A season planned in advance

One notable aspect of the 2026 edition is how early the concept was developed. According to Jones, the team had already defined the direction for 2026 before the 2025 season had even finished, something that had not happened in the twelve previous seasons of Paradise in Ibiza.

He describes Starship Eden as a party cruise ship that gathers nature and life forms from different worlds, eventually transforming the experience into a galactic tropical environment. This idea of accumulation and coexistence mirrors the structure of Paradise itself: a project that grows through collaboration, repetition and shared experience.

Wednesdays at UNVRS in 2026

Running from mid-June to early October, Paradise: Starship Eden positions Wednesdays at the island’s hyper club as a consistent midweek anchor in Ibiza’s club calendar. The residency combines Jamie Jones’ musical direction with an evolving production narrative, designed to change subtly across the season rather than remain fixed.

In 2026, Paradise continues to demonstrate its ability to evolve without losing its core identity. Music, art and technology converge, but the dancefloor remains central. Starship Eden is not about spectacle alone, but about creating an environment where sound and space interact, and where the audience plays an active role in bringing the concept to life.
