Bedouin’s SAGA Returns to Chinois for 2026: Enter the ‘Garden of Illusions’

It is official: Sundays in Marina Botafoch remain sacred. Bedouin—the acclaimed production duo of Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe—have locked in their 2026 Ibiza residency, marking a massive eighth consecutive year on the White Isle. Their flagship concept, SAGA, will once again command the booth at the sophisticated Chinois Ibiza every Sunday from June 21st to October 4th.

Fresh off a triumphant 2025 season—which saw SAGA crown itself as "Best House Party" at the prestigious Vicious Music Awards—the residency is set to reinforce its status as a global gathering point for the electronic music cognoscenti. But for 2026, the duo isn't just returning; they are evolving.

A New Sonic Mythology: Garden of Illusions

Bedouin has never been about simple club nights; they build narratives. For the upcoming season, they introduce a new creative concept: Garden of Illusions. Moving beyond abstract themes, this year’s vision is described as a "living mythology" that will unfold week by week.

The concept plays on the duality of the garden—a symbol of growth, harmony, and paradise—clashing with the instability of illusion, where reality bends and time dissolves. This visual and atmospheric direction is the perfect counterpart to Bedouin’s sonic signature: a masterful blend of deep, melodic house rhythms grounded in ancient Middle Eastern and North African influences, yet reshaped through modern electronic expression.

Curating the Journey

While the full 2026 roster remains under wraps, SAGA’s reputation for impeccable curation precedes it. The residency prioritizes musical flow and storytelling over commercial trends. Previous seasons have seen the booth graced by industry titans and underground heroes alike, including Damian Lazarus, Seth Troxler, DJ Tennis, WhoMadeWho, Jimi Jules, and Mano Le Tough.

Speaking on their return to the club, Tamer and Rami shared their deep connection to the venue:

"Coming to Chinois for our eighth year of SAGA in Ibiza feels like returning to a home that’s constantly evolving. There’s a deep connection on that dancefloor, and every night becomes its own journey with the island, the people, and most importantly, the music. We can’t wait to see you on the dancefloor this summer to write the next chapter of SAGA together."
