His track record is not too bad but has selected some turkeys in his time also.

Promoter behind 'Ibiza Rocks' hopes to repeat its success in Mallorca


For years it was known as the “Gomorrah of the Med” –
a paradise island of unparalleled hedonism where clubbers could behave as badly
as they liked on the streets of San Antonio.

But Ibiza’s reputation rapidly improved when indie music invaded,
bringing an altogether more calm clientele to the sun-kissed shores
of the White Island.
Now the promoter who helped cement Ibiza’s reputation as one of the summer’s best
live music venues with “Ibiza Rocks” is hoping to do the same for nearby Mallorca.

Andy McKay, an Ibiza mainstay who has pioneered guitar music in his venues
over the past five years, is currently putting the finishing touches to a major
“Mallorca Rocks” hotel complex in Magaluf which will host many of the indie bands
playing in Ibiza this year.

Speaking to The Independent today he said:
“We invaded Ibiza with a guitar and we hope to do the same with Mallorca.
As a tourist destination Mallorca is much more representative of UK youth culture
than Ibiza which, because it was such a clubbing mecca, was initially quite difficult
to break into. It’s a logical step to try and bring the Ibiza Rocks label to Mallorca.”

The opening of the hotel now means that bands and artists such as The Kooks,
Calvin Harris, Dizzee Rascal and Pendulum will play sets in both Ibiza and Mallorca
this summer.
Other acts that have also been confirmed for Ibiza include The Prodigy,
who were announced yesterday as the headline act,
and Florence and the Machine.

Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke will also play his first ever live solo set in Ibiza
this summer after the group split to follow their own individual projects.

Whether the 18-25 crowd heading to Mallorca this summer will be as enamoured
of indie music as Ibiza’s regulars remains to be seen, b
ut McKay is confident that guitar music will catch on.

“The tickets for Mallorca Rocks have only been on sale for a month a
nd they’ve already overtaken Ibiza,” he said.
“And Ibiza’s up 59 per cent on last year so far.”

McKay also hopes that an influx of indie fans will help provide Magaluf
with a balance to the more drunken revellers that often crowd into the resort bars
each summer.

“Magaluf has a lot of the problems that San Antonio had a few years back,” he said.
“Ibiza Rocks has helped to change the nature of youth culture out there.
Perhaps the same could happen in Mallorca?”

Ibiza Rocks first took off in 2005 when McKay invited guitar bands such as
Dirty Pretty Things and Kasabian to play live sets in Manumission,
an iconic club night that was founded by McKay and his brother.
Manumission, which was famous for its live sex shows, topless dancers and
high wire acrobats, stopped running last year.
The Ibiza Rocks brand has continued to go from strength to strength.

As well as hosting live gigs, McKay has built Ibiza Rocks into a full tour operator
where music fans can book flights and stay in designated hotels
where the gigs are played.

It has also attracted the likes of celebrities such as Kate Moss landing Ibiza
squarely within the A-list celebrity circuit.

Ibiza rocks 2010 line-up

Celebrating five full-on years of fantastic live music and consistently strong line-ups, Ibiza Rocks 2010 boasts its most impressive bill to date. Biffy Clyro will provide the coolest start to one seriously hot summer when they kick off the proceedings along with Bombay Bicycle Club at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on 8 June.

Biffy Clyro have become a huge success story in the UK and beyond, finely tuning their sound and now topping festival bills galore. The time is right for them to hit the White Isle on 8 June and the Scottish rockers promise to do it in style.


Taking on the inaugural honour of playing the Balearic hot spots Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks back to back are North London’s Bombay Bicycle Club. Having released their debut album ‘I had the Blues but Shook Them Loose’ iast year, 2010 is already shaping up to be knockout year for the band. Not only have they picked up the award for Best New Band at the NME Awards 2010 but the foursome will be basking in sunshine as they performing at the opening of the Mallorca Rocks Hotel on 6 June, before flying straight into Ibiza to kick start Ibiza Rock’s stellar summer season on 8 June.


In 2005, when they were music stars in the making and Ibiza Rocks was being held in the back room of the world’s most famous club, Manumission, Maximo Park and Ibiza Rocks took a chance on each other and the magic was made. It was a ‘moment’ that was to change Ibiza’s music scene forever and now Maximo Park will return, five years on, for what is sure to be the most emotional and celebratory set of the season on 13 July. Support comes in the form of the eccentrically talented Kissy Sell Out who will take to the decks for Maximo Park as well as Florence & the Machine.


London lads Chase & Status are arguably the current heavyweights of the Drum ‘n’ Bass scene. They quite literally gave ‘More Than A Lot’ with their musical feast of an album last year, which spawned three No.1’s in the UK Dance Chart and catapulted them into the mainstream music scene. Last year, they were stars of the show at Reclaim the Dancefloor and had their first top 10 hit with ‘End Credits’ featuring Plan B. The dynamic duo has a production credit on Rihanna’s new album after being approached by the good lady herself. Chase & Status are champions of the new British music scene that is continually celebrated by Ibiza Rocks. Welcome back boys.


Chase & Status said: ‘We’ve played Ibiza as DJs before and the crowds have been amazing, but this will be our first live show in Ibiza so we’re expecting carnage!’

Another bright star taking the charts, airwaves and blogs by storm is Tinie Tempah. The London born MC hasn’t even released his debut album yet but he’s already sailed into the singles charts, going straight to the No.1 spot for four weeks with massive hit ‘Pass Out’ and was included in MTV’s ’10 for 2010’ – the biggest acts to break this year. Tinie Tempah is the perfect opening to this big Ibiza Rocks show on 3 August. Tinie Tempah said: ‘I cannot wait to come & Disturb Ibiza Rocks! It’ll be my first time in Ibiza and I’ve heard its absolute pandemonium! I’m putting a special set together specifically for Ibiza rocks, I’m going to make sure the crowd have the experience of a lifetime.’

This summer sees Radio 1 return to the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on Friday 6 August. Broadcasting live from the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, the station will once again bring the fun and exhilaration of the White Isle to the UK. With scorching performances, blazing mixes and exclusive live sets from the best in UK and international talent, the Ibiza Rocks Hotel is guaranteed to party through the weekend.


Back in early 2005, Ibiza Rocks was born and the baby of the Balearics quite literally represented the birth of new life in Ibiza and enticed a new generation to the island. Bye bye to ageing superstar DJ’s, bloated VIP areas, inflated prices, foam parties and bad taste booze cruises. Hello to Ibiza Rocks’ groundbreaking series of live music events and an innovative youth brand totally in tune with their hungry, young audience. From intimate, open-air gigs with some of the worlds best bands including Arctic Monkeys, to the launch of the destination concept Ibiza Rocks Hotel in 2008 with The Enemy, to the opening of a new hotel in Mallorca this year and the most sensational gig line up to date, the Ibiza Rocks brand knows no boundaries. Ibiza Rocks – unrivalled, unstoppable and unmissable!


Every night at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel is party night and every Tuesday night in Ibiza belongs to Ibiza Rocks. With other headline acts including The Prodigy for the 5th Birthday Party with Rob da Bank, Florence & The Machine, Kele, Pendulum, Dizzee Rascal, The Kooks, The Courteeners, who also now play Mallorca Rocks on 19 July, and Calvin Harris plus a phenomenal array of cutting edge DJ’s and the best in breakthrough talent including The Drums supporting Florence & The Machine, Ibiza will rock like it has never rocked before.
