Manumission Returns to Ibiza for the Ultimate 90s Revival

The Ultimate 90s Revival: Manumission Returns to Ibiza

The ultimate 90s nostalgia trip is finally happening, and it is going to be wildly unforgettable. Le Weekend MANUMISSION is making a highly anticipated return to the White Isle, transforming 528 Ibiza into an immersive, twelve-hour festival of pure excess. Mark your calendars for Saturday, 26 September 2026, because the legendary summer of 1998 is about to rise from the ashes.

A Living, Breathing Theatrical Dreamscape

For the first time, 528 Ibiza will connect all its indoor and outdoor spaces to weave one massive, theatrical wonderland. Drawing deeply from Claire Manumission’s gripping memoir, The Motel: High Times in 90s Ibiza, the production promises beautifully choreographed chaos. You will find yourself lost inside a three-storey re-creation of the infamous Manumission Motel. Described as a living dollhouse on acid, this pulsating core comes alive at the 528 Park Stage thanks to British choreographer Jodie Blemmings. Watch in awe as dance elite like Paris Fitzpatrick mingle with fabulous drag queens and acrobatic artists right in the crowd. It is an absolute sensory overload.

The original founders, Mike and Claire Manumission, are pouring their entire hearts into this spectacular revival.

Creating Manumission for and with the next generation is a lucid dream come true. We have a living dollshouse with characters taking on roles drawn from our memoir.

Daytime Hedonism and Underground Beats

This spirit of absolute freedom bleeds perfectly into the musical journey. Over at the 528 Garden Stage, transformed into Hellfire in the Hong Kong Hot Tub, you can dance through bubbles and seductive blue lights. The legendary Carl Craig will deliver his signature Detroit techno alongside mystery turntablists. Meanwhile, the 528 Forest Stage hosts the island's queer collective XTRA with Bedroom Bondage à la Japonaise. They bring a fierce, modern twist to the party's underground roots, creating a fresh energy where everyone can freely express themselves.

After-Dark Theatrics and Golden Rules

As darkness blankets the island, the energy shifts and the indoor venues finally open their doors. Prepare to step inside Le Theatre Pink Pussy at the 528 Teatro. Here, house music pioneer David Morales is set to play a historic six-hour set, linking the soul of New York's Paradise Garage directly to the raw essence of Ibiza '98. If you want something even naughtier, slip into Roger More’s Dark Room at the 528 Club for an intimate, late-night adventure curated by Nick Sheehy of Pikes Ibiza.

The night will undoubtedly be wild, but remember the golden rules. The classic no-camera policy strictly returns, so put your phones away and live in the moment. Arrive in your best 90s attire, don a mask after dark, and bring an open mind. Best of all, there is absolutely no VIP section, meaning every single dancer is an equal part of the magic.

See You on the Dancefloor?

This entire weekend is a beautiful love letter to an era when clubbing was a true, uninhibited art form. From intimate book readings at Pikes Ibiza to dancing until dawn under the Balearic stars, this is your invitation to feel truly alive. Will you join us to write the next chapter of this legendary reunion?
