(FIX PR/Ibiza/Tues 6 Aug 2013) :
Ibiza. August. Hot. Just got hotter…Welcome to another bumper month at Ibiza Rocks with a live line up that really turns up the temperature in San Antonio every Wednesday. With headliners including tomorrow's AlunaGeorge and, over the next weeks, Ellie Goulding, Example and the return of an artist that has become part of the Ibiza Rocks family- Dizzee Rascal, this is set to be one scorcher of a month at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel.
It's a Rocks debut for AlunaGeorge who have exploded onto the scene and featured on one of the biggest tracks of the year ‘White Noise' with Disclosure. Nominated for the BRITs Critics Choice Award and BBC's Sound of 2013 and with debut album ‘Body Music' out in July, this will be one seriously hot summer set.
As for Example, we can't get enough of him at Ibiza Rocks this year, and he's back on Aug 14 as part of his summer residency at the IR Hotel. Here's what he has to say on the matter: ‘Whether it's my live show or the We Are Rockstars crowds, the hotel is always packed and the atmosphere is incredible. Honestly, playing the Ibiza Rocks Hotel - it feels like home for the summer. “
With support from acclaimed DJ/Producer Redlight bringing his live show to the island for the first time this is going to be one serious scorcher of a show.
Another debut in the form of Ellie Goulding on 21 Aug. Undoubtedly one of the UK's most singular and compelling songwriters, in the two-and-a-half years since releasing massive debut album Lights, Ellie has secured huge global success including the USA where she's sold over 3m albums. Back with new album Halcyon and lead single, Anything Could Happen, Ellie shows a new immersion in electronica and dance beats, producing a fascinating collision between the clubbing scene and Ellie's love of folk-pop soundscapes. Undoubtedly one of the world's most successful female solo stars right now, we can't wait for her to take centre stage for her debut at Ibiza Rocks.
It's been almost 10 years since Dizzee released his debut single and Rocks is proud to have been on an incredible journey with the East London MC turned worldwide legend who has just been chosen by Muse to appear as a special guest on their UK Stadium tour. Having first headlined Ibiza Rocks in 2008, Dizzee's love affair with Ibiza began and headline gigs followed in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dizzee will once again bring his genre-fusing musical genius to the famous open-air Rocks stage with a full new live show. Ibiza Rocks is delighted to bring our boy back to his home from home.
As for the warm up acts for August, talk about scorchio! London Grammar is an English art rock trio formed by Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman. Their debut EP Metal & Dust was released in Feb 2013 and their debut album If you Wait is due for release only a month after they take to the Ibiza Rocks stage, on 9Sept.
Clean Bandit. The premise of this group is one that on paper sounds bizarre, an electronic/hip-hop collective built around a string quartet... It shouldn't work but it really does- take the Ibiza Rocks word for it.
Although no stranger to Ibiza Rocks, this time Toddla T is also stepping up to our stage accompanied by Serocee, DRS and Shola AMA- the collective known as Toddla T Sound. Prepare for some kind of wonderful.
WE ARE ROCKSTARS!

As another summer storms into September, it’s time for our final FIX monthly reminder on all things IBIZA ROCKS. Kicking off the month tomorrow night,Wednesday 4 Sept, in full disco glory, it’s CHIC featuring NILE RODGERS, a night which, if the island whisperings are to be believed, has all the makings of another Ibiza Rocks Had-To-Be-There Night, along the lines of previous years’ momentous occasions- Madness and The Specials come to mind. Get your disco balls ready, your sequins shined up and prepare for good times!
Next week, another long awaited arrival to the island, after many years of hoping, FRANZ FERDINAND are finally touching down in Ibiza and heading straight for the Ibiza rocks stage! And for our final live music offering of summer 2013, it’s another smasher with Foals and Jagwar Ma singing us out for another season.
Full details on all below. Thanks for all your support for the Rocks throughout this, our eighth season, on behalf of the whole team. Keep Ibiza Rockin’…

CHIC FEAT. NILE RODGERS, SKREAM (DISCO SET) & DOORLY
CHIC FEAT. NILE RODGERS, SKREAM (DISCO SET) & DOORLY
September will see a music legend at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel as Chic feat. Nile Rodgers perform huge hit after hit, live under the stars. From Madness, to The Specials to New Order, every year Rocks books a band that have shaped the music scene and influenced generations after them. Nile Rodgers is one of the most influential producers of all time, forming CHIC in the 70’s with tracks such as ‘Le Freak,’ ‘I Want Your Love,’ ‘Everybody Dance’ and ‘Good Times’ propelling disco back in the day and still dance classics now. From CHIC’s own hits to Rodgers producing massive tracks like ‘We Are Family’ and ‘He’s The Greatest Dancer’ for Sister Sledge, ‘Upside Down’ and ‘I’m Coming Out’ for Diana Ross, producing David Bowie’s biggest selling album ‘Let’s Dance’ and Madonna’s blockbuster album ‘Like a Virgin’ – Nile Rodgers is ‘The Hitmaker’. Add to that working with Jeff Beck, The Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Mick Jagger, and most recently Daft Punk, giving them their biggest hit to date with No.1 single ‘Get Lucky’ – the soundtrack of the summer. The Ibiza Rocks crowd will certainly get lucky in September as a true dance music pioneer takes centre stage.
WEDNESDAY 11 SEPT:
FRANZ FERDINAND, BOHICAS, ZANE LOWE
FRANZ FERDINAND, BOHICAS, ZANE LOWE
One of the most important guitar bands of the decade, Franz Ferdinand are coming to our stage! Having first smashed the charts with their killer hit Take Me Out and their self-titled debut album in 2002, Glasgow boys Franz Ferdinand are back, and Balearic bound. They’ve ticked off a Mercury Music Prize, BRIT Awards for Best British Group and Best British Rock Act, NME Awards, multiple Grammy Award nominations, sold over 3 million albums worldwide and are soon to release their hugely anticipated fourth studio album.This band were a huge influence on Ibiza Rocks, helping fuel the concept of promoting gigs for ’dance kids who rock and rock kids who dance.’ Ibiza Rocks is exceptionally proud to be bringing one of the world’s best live bands to make their debut on the famous open-air Ibiza Rocks stage this summer.
Alex Kapranos said: “This is the first time we’ve been to Ibiza Rocks, so are looking forward to it. Paul’s been and told us all about it, so we’re expecting a great crowd.”
WEDNESDAY 18 SEPT: CLOSING PARTY
FOALS, JAGWAR MA, KIWI
Bands don’t get much hotter right now than festival favourites Foals - the phenomenal five-piece that will headline the Ibiza Rocks Closing Party on Wednesday 18th September.
To say that Yannis Phillipakis and co. have got off to a good start in 2013 is a huge understatement. With their hotly anticipated third studio album ‘Holy Fire’ set for release next week, the incredible new singles ‘Inhaler’ and ‘My Number’ have catapulted the band onto the radio A-list and caught the attention of festivals, fans and critics across the globe.
As well as a critically acclaimed new album in the pipeline, Foals also boast a stunning live show that has packed venues around the UK including two colossal shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall which sold out in just 15 minutes. With this sort of momentum behind them, Ibiza Rocks is hugely excited to welcome Foals to the famous open-air Rocks stage for the coveted closing party slot, previously played by Two Door Cinema Club, Noah and the Whale, Klaxons and The Specials, to name a few.
Foals frontman, Yannis Philippakis said:“We’ve always wanted to go to an Ibiza closing party… and now we get to play one. Double bubble.”
