The main Ibiza Rocks gigs take place every Wednesday in the Ibiza Rocks Hotel between 4th June and 17th September 2014 inclusive. We will also be holding our Ibiza Rocks After Show Party each week following this gig.
THE TWO BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH ACTS OF THE YEAR KICK OFF SUMMER PLAYING LIVE UNDER THE BALEARIC STARS IN 2014
It may be cold outside but the heat is on at Rocks HQ as excitement builds for what’s going to be the strongest Rocks line up ever. Taking the hugely coveted opening party slot in 2014 is the hottest new band in the world right now, HAIM, whilst week two will welcome the biggest British breakthrough band of the year, The 1975. Two weeks, two debut Balearic shows from two No.1 international artists.
Hailing from the San Fernando Valley, California, HAIM follow in the footsteps of huge international artists Biffy Clyro, Ed Sheeran and Jake Bugg by headlining the Rocks opening parties and kicking off summer 2014 off in super hot style. Sisterly love abounds when HAIM take to the stage; winners of BBC’s Sound of 2013, they stole the show on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury this year before being hand-picked to support Mumford and Sons on their worldwide, sold out tour. HAIM’s debut album ‘Days Are Gone’ received critical adoration, monster sales and a UK No.1 and they just claimed a career milestone with a stunning performance on Saturday Night Live, further propelling the sisters to global superstardom as they embark on their own world tour. Rocks will proudly bring HAIM to Mallorca Rocks (03/06) and Ibiza Rocks (04/06) for their debut live shows under the sweet Balearic stars.
HAIM said: “Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks are going to be insane. We literally cannot wait to get there. Book your flights NOW.”
Week two will see another brilliant breakthrough band take to the famous poolside Rocks stage. Like HAIM, The 1975’s (self-titled) platinum debut topped the UK album charts and cemented their status as the home-grown success story of the year. With a run of sold out headline shows including 3 consecutive gigs at Brixton Academy and a special show just announced at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall, the Manchester indie-pop quartet are in huge demand. The 1975 will headline Mallorca Rocks (10/06) and Ibiza Rocks (11/06), bringing with them their infectious set list of hits including ‘Chocolate’, ‘The City’ and ‘Sex.’ Clearly looking forward to it already, frontman Matt Healy said “Looking forward to Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks...we’re going to go f*cking bananas!”
Shane Murray, Promoter, said: “What a way to kick off next summer poolside at Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks. It’s a real coup to confirm Haim and The 1975 so early. They are two of the biggest breakthrough acts of the year and se the bar pretty high for the rest of the 16-week season. On top of this we’re about to launch Ibiza Rocks the Snow in Meribel next week so all in all it’s a really exciting time for the brand.”
The Ibiza Rocks brand consistently boasts a bill crammed with the biggest international artists, best breakthrough talent and cutting edge DJ’s. Summer 2014 will see the celebration of Ibiza Rocks 9th Birthday and Mallorca Rocks 4th Birthday during the 16 weeklong season of spectacular outdoor gigs. More Rocks headline acts and W.A.R! line up announcements will follow in the New Year.
ED SHEERAN, RUDIMENTAL, BASTILLE, BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB, TINIE TEMPAH JOHN NEWMAN, CLEAN BANDIT, WOLF ALICE, BRETON & CHLOE HOWL JOIN HAIM & THE 1975 ON THE HOTTEST BILL IN THE BALEARICS PLUS SKRILLEX FOR MASSIVE MALLORCA ROCKS EXCLUSIVE
AND MTV UK RETURN TO BRING MILLIONS CLOSER TO THE LIVE ACTION AS EXCLUSIVE BROADCAST PARTNER
Guaranteed sun, sea, sunsets and sounds - its time to talk Rocks. Having already confirmed two of the biggest breakthrough bands of the year - HAIM and The 1975 - more in-demand festival favourites including Ed Sheeran, Bastille, Tinie Tempah, Skrillex and Bombay Bicycle Club (Ibiza Closing Party) plus critically acclaimed champions of the live scene Rudimental, John Newman and Clean Bandit have been added to the 16 week-long line up, kicking off on 03/06. Support slots come courtesy of exciting new talents Wolf Alice, Breton and Chloe Howl, with more to be announced.
The summer long season will open in style with a headline performance from HAIM, supported by hotly tipped band for 2014, Breton. The 1975 take on week 2 with support from NME’s Best New Band nominee Wolf Alice.
Newly confirmed to keep the party vibes in full flow in June is Yorkshire lad John Newman. The 3 x BRITs nominee shot into the spotlight after writing and singing on two of the biggest dance tracks to smash into the UK charts in years: Rudimental’s Feel The Love and Not Giving In. Debut #1 solo single Love Me Again is a taste of the huge, melodic hits fans can expect from John Newman’s highly anticipated debut set, supported by BBC Sound of 2014 nominee Chloe Howl.
July will see the welcome return of Tinie Tempah, back by popular demand. With his high-octane, high energy, explosive live sets packed with huge hits Tinie Tempah knows exactly how to work the crowd. Embarking on a UK tour in March including a show at London’s O2, Tinie Tempah will have one seriously slick set to showcase back in the Balearics. Speaking of the shows, he said: “I am happy to be back doing Rocks for the 4th time! This is always a great show, can't wait!”
From releasing quintuple platinum debut album + in 2012, Ed Sheeran has been recognised as one of the most genuinely talented and successful singer/songwriters of recent times. Grammy Awards, Q Awards, Brits and Ivor Novellos, Ed Sheeran has clocked up them all with his all-encompassing appeal. Huge hits fill emotionally charged sets fused with unexpected risks and surprises. From being championed by Jamie Foxx to opening Rocks in 2012, to selling out Madison Square Gardens and being hugely in demand on a global scale, Ed Sheeran knows what he loves, everyone loves what he does and he’s coming back to Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks in July to do just that.
Ed Sheeran said: "I played at the Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks opening parties 2 years ago and had a lot of fun. Looking forward to getting back out there in the sun and playing some of the new songs this summer!"
Brits British Single winners Rudimental and British Breakthrough winners Bastille pulled off an epic mash up of their huge hits Waiting All Night and Pompeii at this year’s Brit Awards and both acts are Balearic bound. Rocks championed Rudimental long before they hit the big time and booked their debut Ibiza show in 2012 at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel where they stayed, partied and played, big time! It will be a proud moment to have these boys back, bigger than ever, for what will undoubtedly be one of the seminal moments of the summer, from one of the best live acts on the planet right now.
Rudimental said: “We can’t wait to head back to Ibiza Rocks this summer. It’s one of our favourite venues in the world and our show in 2012 was too much fun. Don’t miss this one people, Ibiza here we come!!”
Since debuting at Rocks last year, Bastille went on to be the biggest selling new British act of 2013, with platinum-selling debut album Bad Blood topping the charts and infectious single Pompeii becoming the second most streamed song of the year (just behind Daft Punk’s Get Lucky). After smashing it stateside then being nominated for 4 x Brit Awards back on home turf, Bastille have officially been crowned British Breakthrough of the year.
Bastille’s Dan Smith said: “We can't wait to play Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks again. The gigs were both loads of fun last summer so we're really happy to have been asked back this year.
It will be from stateside to poolside when 6 x Grammy award winner Skrillex takes to the open-air stage at the Mallorca Rocks Hotel for an exclusive headline set in August. This electronic imagineer comes with way more than an killer set - there’s shimmering LED walls, 3D lights shows, pyrotechnics and a relentless thirst to create a live experience of ever-increasing drama and spectacle. This show takes the music landscape in Mallorca to a whole new level - a first for Mallorca, a ‘must see’ ONLY at Mallorca Rocks and a massive statement to what Rocks brings to the resort.
Clean Bandit made their Rocks debut supporting Ellie Goulding last year and then kicked off the very first Ibiza Rocks the Snow event in Meribel In December. They’ve since scored a UK #1 single with Rather Be, selling over half a million copies in the UK alone and staying at the #1 spot for 4 weeks running. Now one of the UK’s finest new bands move from the piste to the poolside to make their headline debut at the Rocks Hotels in August.
The Ibiza Rocks closing party will be headlined by a classic Rocks band, Bombay Bicycle Club. The London four piece supported Biffy Clyro at Ibiza Rocks in 2010 and returned as worthy headliners in their own right the following year. Back with UK #1 album So Long See You Tomorrow, Bombay Bicycle Club will create the climax to what will be a phenomenal summer of live gigs under the Balearic stars.
Shane Murray, Promoter said: “It’s a really strong line up this year so far, we’re genuinely excited. Bands like Haim, The 1975 and Bombay Bicycle Club represent the heart of what we do so opening and closing weeks will as ever be special. Since last headlining, Ed Sheeran has emerged as an international superstar so it’s a real coup that he’s chosen Rocks as one of only a handful of shows this summer. We’ve been trying to get Skrillex for a long time so that’s going to be a huge Mallorca show, as will the Bastille gigs after last year’s debut sell outs. We always work hard to recognise genuine talent early on and we’re proud to be bringing back Rudimental, John Newman and Clean Bandit as headliners and bringing new acts like Wolf Alice and Chloe Howl for debut slots. With loads more still to be announced, it’s safe to say we’re in for another amazing summer under the Balearic stars. ”
Ibiza Rocks is also pleased to announce that MTV will be the exclusive broadcast partner for the second year running. The network will broadcast a number of live performances, exclusive artist interviews and all the highlights from the 16 weeklong series from the Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca Rocks Hotels this summer.

LILY ALLEN AND MADNESS FOR HUGE HEADLINE SHOWS UNDER THE STARS
PLUS FRESH NEW TALENTS ELLA EYRE, DAN CROLL AND KREPT & KONAN
JOINING HAIM, THE 1975, ED SHEERAN, RUDIMENTAL, BASTILLE, BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB, SKRILLEX, TINIE TEMPAH, JOHN NEWMAN, CLEAN BANDIT, WOLF ALICE, BRETON & CHLOE HOWLON THIS BIGGEST BILL IN THE BALEARICS
Spring is in the air and the sound of summer is just around the corner as Rocks cranks up heat and turns up the volume on the annual 16 week series of live outdoor gigs. Adding to the huge summer line up is Lily Allen making her Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks debut and ska legends Madness returning for what will be one of the standout sets of the season. Hot new talents Ella Eyre, Dan Croll and Krept & Konan are also confirmed, with more still to come.
Lily Allen is undeniably one of Britains most provocative pop stars - outspoken, engaged and utterly engaging. As widely reported, it was one fateful summer in Ibiza that put Lily Allen on her path to superstardom. At just 15, Lily lied to her parents to stay on in Ibiza after a family holiday, got herself a job, admittedly went wild and met her first manager George Lamb along the way. A record deal followed and critically acclaimed debut album Alright Still (2006) sold 2.6 million copies and spawned huge infectious hits like Smile and LDN. This success put Lily on the map as well as on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. Second album It’s Not Me It’s You chalked up the same impressive sales and now Lily Allen is back as brilliantly bold as ever with her third album Sheezus (released 5th May). Despite her huge affiliation with Ibiza, Lily Allen has never before performed on the White Isle. This will be a seminal moment of the summer for Lily Allen and for the crowd who get to see a hugely anticipated comeback show by one the UK’s most compelling stars, in the intimate courtyard stage setting of the Rocks Hotels.
Lily Allen said:‘I’m really looking forward to performing at Mallorca Rocks and Ibiza Rocks in June. Ibiza was my home for a summer when I was a teenager, and I’ve always loved going there. I’m certain that these two shows will be a highlight in my summer schedule.’
From last year’s standout set from CHIC feat. Nile Rodgers to The Specials and New Order, every year Rocks books a band that has shaped the music scene and influenced generations after them. Back by popular demand and taking to the famous Rocks stages in Ibiza and Mallorca is Madness. From performing their classic hits including It Must Be Love and Our House on the top of Buckingham Palace for the Queens Jubilee to performing at the closing ceremony of the Olympics, Madness are true national treasures. The original seven piece lively line up are sure to send the Rocks crowd into a ska-fuelled frenzy in August.
Madness said:‘We're back by public demand, voted the best Ibiza live show in 2012, the people have spoken, it would be rude not to.’
At just 19, rising solo star Ella Eyre possesses the range, stage presence and charm of a woman twice her age. The London based vocal powerhouse scored a No.1 as lead singer on Rudimentals massive Brit Award winning hit single Waiting All Night and stole the show at this years’ ceremony. Despite owning a unique voice that conjures up the greats of yesterday, Ella Eyre is very much a rising star, currently headlining her own UK tour and ready to blow away the Balearics in support of Clean Bandit in August.
Dan Croll is a name on the lips of critics, tastemakers and fans alike. His incredibly infectious single From Knowhere spent 3 days at the top of the Hype Machine chart and provided the soundtrack for Toshibas huge tablet ad campaign. Credible playlist support from the likes of 6 Music, XFM, Amazing Radio and Radio One fuelled the fire and live dates supporting the likes of Bastille, HAIM and London Grammar let the people see the man behind the music. Currently on his own UK tour showcasing tracks from debut album Sweet Disarray, with one foot in folk and the other in electro-pop, Dan Croll is certain to bring something fresh to the famous Rocks stage when he supports Bombay Bicycle Club at the Ibiza Rocks Closing Party in September.
Crowned MTV’s Best of the Best UK MC’s of 2013, dynamic duo Krept and Konan are currently killing the UK underground scene. Starting off 2013 as an unsigned act, the pair made history when they released their Young Kingzalbum scoring a Guinness World record for the highest charting UK album by an unsigned act. The celebrations will continue as these South London lads take to the stage in support of Tinie Tempah in July.
