The Flying Scotsman Lands: Ewan McVicar Takes Total Control of the Club Room

If you thought the energy at Hï Ibiza couldn't get any more intense, think again. The news is out, and it’s an absolute belter: Ewan McVicar is officially taking the reins of the Club Room for a massive 23-week residency in 2026. From May 1st to October 2nd, Friday nights are about to get a serious injection of Scottish rave spirit with the debut of his full-season concept, Club Knuckles.

For those of us who have followed Ewan’s meteoric rise from the sleepy town of Ayr to the global stage, this feels like the moment he was born for. No longer just a guest stealing the show, he is now the main event in the most underground-feeling room of the world’s number one club. Get ready for a season of sweat, soul, and serious basslines.

Welcome to Club Knuckles

Forget the polished VIP experience; Club Knuckles is about getting back to the raw roots of clubbing. Ewan has made it clear that this residency is designed to be "unsentimental and rhythm-first." Drawing inspiration from his record label of the same name, the concept transforms the sleek, dark industrial space of the Club Room into a "sweat-drenched rave box."

"I’m known for starting at one place, which is usually house, and ending up in another place that no one really knows." – Ewan McVicar

Expect the unexpected. We’re talking chunky House, brash basslines, and flashes of Acid that hit you right in the chest. Ewan’s selection style—digging deep for forgotten gems while dropping fresh heaters—is perfectly suited to the low ceilings and immersive sound system of this room. It’s intimate, it’s intense, and it’s going to be absolutely loud.

The Perfect Friday Balance

What makes this residency so exciting is how perfectly it complements the action next door in The Theatre. While the main room sees a split season between the melodic giants CamelPhat (early and late season) and the high-energy house phenomenon Dom Dolla (peak season), Ewan McVicar remains the constant anchor of the night.

This dynamic creates the ultimate clubbing choose-your-own-adventure. You can witness the spectacle and lasers of The Theatre, then dive into the Club Room for that grittier, "heads-down, hands-up" community vibe. Ewan isn’t just filling a slot; he’s curating a vibe that stands on its own two feet. He’s the undisputed figure of the Club Room this summer, and he’s bringing his "Clan" with him.

A Proper Scottish takeover

There is something special about the connection Ewan McVicar builds with a crowd. He breaks down the barrier between DJ and dancer, often looking like he’s having more fun than anyone on the floor. His rise, fueled by the anthem Tell Me Something Good, was never about ego—it was about passion. That authenticity is exactly what Hï Ibiza needs on a Friday night.

So, are you ready to lock in? whether you're a seasoned veteran of the White Isle or a first-timer looking for that life-changing set, Club Knuckles is the place to be. The season kicks off on May 1st. Don't be the one watching the clips on Instagram the next morning wishing you were there.

See you on the dancefloor!
