15 abr 2007, 00:00 Ibiza Rocks - Tuesdays in Bar M The bookings are going very well this year for Ibiza Rocks and now more than half of the acts are fully confirmed for the season. Whilst it will still be a few weeks before we announce our line-ups we can now say (more or less 100%) that we will be running a live Ibiza Rocks event in Bar M every Tuesday from 19th June till 11th September. We will also be doing events on some other nights of the week but we have decided to make sure that we are live every Tuesday so everyone has something to plan around. Many of these events will be filmed as part of our "Ibiza Rocks"Channel 4 TV series. Most of the bands that are headlining this summer are really looking forward to playing such an intimate gig on the beach in front of a few hundred people as they rarely get to do that. Get ready for an amazing summer of live music in Ibiza...
The ongoing summer event will hit Manumission's beach side music venue, Bar M between June 19 and September 11.
Long standing Ibiza Rocks resident DJ Zane Lowe will return alongside Rob Da Bank and Mark Ronson, who will appear as special guest disc-spinners throughout the season.
The current line-up is as follows:
The View (June 19)
Kasabian (July 16-17)
CSS (10)
LCD Soundsystem (18)
The Enemy (31)
Mika (August 7-8)
Arctic Monkeys (September 1)
The Fratellis (3-4
The Holloways At Ibiza Rocks
June 26 sees The Holloways taking to the IR stage. Authors of the fantastic 'Generator' single - ripping up radio playlists and the first true anthem of the summer - The Holloways are currently building on the success of their critically acclaimed debut, 'So This Is Great Britain'.
The Holloways will be supported by up and coming Londoners Vinny Vinny, appearing as part of project FREEDM where new and unsigned bands get the chance to show us what they can do wit hthe Ibiza Rocks stage.
As ever the show is followed by an exclusive party at Pacha, this time starring Junior Sanchez alongside Australia's Bang Gang DJs.
This will be an amazing event so make sure you get the combination ticket that gives you access to both the show and the afterparty.
22 jun 2007, 00:00 Ibiza Begins... The Ibiza Rocks with Sony Ericsson opening party was one of the biggest events we've seen - The View were on fire (as sung by a fired up crowd!) and The Rumble Strips were pretty damn magnificent too. Tunes of the night? 'Wasted Little DJs' and a sing along 'Face For The Radio' from The View, 'Motorcycle' from The Rumble Strips and Simian Mobile Disco 'It's The Beat' tearing up the dancefloor (more on them later...).
Next up is The Holloways on June 26, click here to get your tickets and we'll see you there. They'll be joined by Vinny Vinny (presented by FREEDM) plus a huge DJ line up of Bang Gang DJs (The biggest DJ team in Australia making their Ibiza debut!), Junior Sanchez and ace residents Gash DJs.
In the meantime the new acts continue to roll up and it gives us great, huge pleasure to announce that Dirty Pretty Things will playing Ibiza Rocks on Tuesday, August 21. Still one of the most sought-after bands on the live circuit, Carl Barat's outfit went down a storm last year and surely there's no man daft enough to bet against them pulling it off again?
We've also got the aforementioned Simian Mobile Disco live tearing it up with Zane Lowe, Does It Offend You Yeah? and Gash DJs. In a bit of a deviation from the usual schedule this show will go down on a Monday - July 2 to be precise - but the Pacha aftershow will still be taking place on the Tuesday (July 3) and combined tickets will still be available to get you into the Monday gig and the Tuesday party.
Both the Simian and Dirty Pretty Things shows are on sale now so click here to book.
On the support front, project FREEDM is bringing us Pull Tiger Tail to back-up Kasabian on July 17, and The More Assured will be supporting The Fratellis on September 3 and 4.

Full refunds are available for those who have already purchased tickets. Apologies to everyone who was looking forward to this as much as us, here's a message from the guys
"We were really looking forward to playing Ibiza Rocks this Monday night. Circumstances conspired against us however as we found out yesterday that it wasn't going to be possible to get half of our live kit (including our lights) on to the island in time for the show. We'll reschedule the live gig for another time and hopefully you can catch us Dj'ing at Manumission throughout the summer. Apologies again. See you soon."
Simian Mobile Disco.
Instead, in true Balearic party spirit, on July 3 at Bar M we'll be throwing the doors of Ibiza Rocks open to all-comers for our first ever free party. Does It Offend You Yeah? and Gash DJs will be providing turntable skills plus live acts plus The Hungover Stuntmen live.
The usual Tuesday night after-party will still be going ahead - last week was well and truly rocked by Junior Sanchez so don't miss out.
