I think it's amazing 2 venues the size of Es Paradis and Eden (in some incarnation or another) have survived for so long, given how quiet they are the majority of the time.
From an outside point of view their business model appears completely wrong. Perhaps I am wide of the mark with that statement, since Es Paradis in particular continue to trade year-in, year-out.
Truth is, even if MK, Fuse, Tong - or any of the brand/acts previously mentioned set-up home there would it really change things all that much???
Gatecrasher was a trainwreck in 2014, no doubt about it. But some of those line-up in the early part of the season - Creche, Speakerboxx etc. - they should have worked. But they never did.
You will never get your typical San An crowd paying €30+ per night for tickets, when places like Hush offer free admission and arguably a better night.
Given the choice you much rather pay €10-odd more each pp to catch a cab to elsewhere on the island where you can guarantee a decent night with a better atmosphere - and that's what people are doing. Even the hard-up workers get treated so well at Sankeys they have no need to stay in San An and spend money unnecessarily.
The beach bars are doing big business at the moment. Conceivably you could spend a week in Ibiza, visiting beach bars every night of week and still catch international class DJs every day without spending a cent on tickets. Then spend your night in the West End. It wouldn't be a bad little trip. And you could still brag to your mates about seeing some great DJs when you get home and not be lying.
