This is not just another night on the White Isle, it is the launch of a residency that will define the summer.
Events calendarFor fans of trance, progressive and mainstage anthems, this open-to-close session offers a golden opportunity to witness Armin’s full musical spectrum. Carefully curated and emotionally charged, the set is designed to evolve hour by hour, from deeper sounds as the sun begins to fade, to euphoric climaxes under the night sky. As Armin himself explains: “I do not do open-to-close sets often, but when I do, it is because the moment calls for it. Ushuaïa Ibiza is one of the most iconic venues in the world, and Ibiza holds a special place in my heart”.
