This multi-year extension ends months of speculation and reaffirms the powerful bond between the Italian maestro and the legendary cherries, ensuring a stable and electrifying future for one of Ibiza’s most essential parties.

A Partnership Forged in Techno

The journey of Music On is a story of evolution and dominance. Launched in 2012 at Amnesia, the party quickly became a cornerstone of the island’s underground scene, celebrated for its no-frills, music-first ethos. The brand’s explosive success was built on Carola‘s masterful, marathon sets and a fiercely loyal following. The seismic shift came in 2019 when Music On moved to its new home at Pacha Ibiza, a decision that reshaped the island’s clubbing landscape. Despite initial waves, the move proved to be a masterstroke. The synergy between Carola‘s raw, groove-driven sound and Pacha‘s iconic ambiance created an unmatched atmosphere, quickly establishing Music On as the undisputed king of Friday nights. The party has become a global benchmark, drawing in a dedicated crowd of purists eager to lose themselves on the dance floor.

In an ever-shifting scene, this deal provides an anchor of stability for both Pacha and the island’s legions of techno fans. The news officially silences whispers of a potential return to Amnesia, cementing Pacha as the definitive home for the Music On experience in Ibiza.
