First, let’s morph with a party 20 years in the making with Cocoon Ibiza’s anniversary at Ushuaïa! Papa Sven Vath brings the iconic brand to the mega-club for a single night as they shellshock with the brightest of experiences. On May 25 you’ll found the walls of the mega-club resort bouncing with the bass bomb of techno and house’s supreme talents.
While a full lineup is forthcoming, there is little doubt Sven will bring a group of amazing talents along with him to celebrate the anniversary. As a reminder, Ushuaïa has a strict 18+ policy for the party, so plan that into your plan of action. The party currently kicks off at 14:00 local time but that is, of course, subject to change.

I don’t think there’s any club in the world, with a history and impact like Pacha Ibiza has. Since the very first day, I have always felt very connected to the island. We have a lot in common, a deep love for the mysterious and the sensational – a natural fit for a man like myself.”
