Rising from the depths of the Mediterranean, onto the subtle sands of a tranquil Ibizan beach, enormous, golden masks signal the arrival of Claptone’s The Masquerade on the island.

Pacha Ibiza announce the launch of a spectacular event presented by the most recognizable - yet mysterious - entity in dance music: Claptone.

Brace yourself for the imminent arrival of the masked man’s Masquerade on the island, a marvellous night in Ibizan nightlife; promising magic, mystery and intrigue, within a supercharged environment of wonder. ‘The Masquerade’ is a place where one can live out their deepest desires, an extraordinary atmosphere, full of masked faces, complimented by some of Pacha’s world famous and beautiful costumed dancers, held every Monday throughout the summer. Commencing on Monday 27th of May and continuing weekly until 29th September, the new night will see some of the scene's most adventurous DJs join in on the hedonism.

Claptone states “I am delighted to share this dazzling news with all of you today: Pacha Ibiza will be The Masquerade’s home for the summer!

With this, my very first Ibiza residency, a long-cherished dream of mine, finally becomes reality. I don’t think there’s any club in the world, with a history and impact like Pacha Ibiza has. Since the very first day, I have always felt very connected to the island. We have a lot in common, a deep love for the mysterious and the sensational - a natural fit for a man like myself.

The Masquerade at Pacha Ibiza will represent my vision of the perfect night out: house music and beyond, interpreted by a carefully curated line-up of unique artists that I admire, and that I feel share the same sentimental connection to music. I invite you once again into my world, this time bigger than ever. A place where wonders are abound for those who trust in their imagination. The elaborate decoration and overarching experience will play a vital role. You are going to meet a collection of otherworldly - yet beautiful characters and dancers that will turn the place upside down.

I am looking forward to 19 unforgettable nights in Ibiza together with you, to present The Masquerade every Monday at Pacha, starting on May 27th. The line-ups will be unveiled very soon!”
