Jamie Jones Pilots Paradise into a New Dimension: Welcome to Starship Eden at [UNVRS]

If you thought the opening of [UNVRS] in 2025 shifted the tectonic plates of our island, wait until you see what’s coming for 2026. At Ibiza 1, we’ve seen venues come and go, but the evolution of the world’s first "Hyperclub" (yes, the old Privilege site, but reborn) is something else entirely. And who better to command this spaceship than the captain of the groove himself?

That’s right, Jamie Jones is back. After a mind-bending debut season with "Sands of Solaris," the Welsh wizard is returning to the colossal San Rafael venue for a second year, bringing a brand-new concept that sounds like it was dreamt up in a fever dream on Mars. Get ready for Paradise: Starship Eden.

Wednesdays Are About to Get Intergalactic

Mark your calendars, because from June 10th to October 7th, 2026, Wednesdays belong to Jamie Jones. We’re talking about an 18-week residency that promises to be more of a space opera than a simple club night.

The concept for 2026 pushes the boundaries of what we expect from a party. We’re leaving the desert sands of last year behind and boarding "Starship Eden." The description alone gives us goosebumps:

"Starship Eden was no machine. It was an ancient, sentient organism, grown rather than built... A conscious cosmic garden where alien vegetation flourishes in zero gravity."

Knowing the production capabilities of [UNVRS]—with its mind-blowing moving ceiling and L-Acoustics system that hits you right in the chest—this theme is going to be visually insane. Imagine bioluminescent vines twisting around the futuristic brutalist architecture of the club while that signature Hot Creations bassline rolls through the crowd. It’s the perfect clash: the high-tech coldness of a Hyperclub meets the organic, warm soul of Paradise.

The Hyperclub Experience: A New Standard

If you missed out on the 2025 inauguration, let us catch you up. Yann Pissenem (the mastermind behind Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza) didn't just renovate a building; he created a monster. The viral UFO stunt with Will Smith was just the appetizer. The main course is a venue that combines the scale of a stadium with the intimacy of a warehouse.

For Paradise, this means plenty of room to dance (a luxury these days!) under the iconic glass dome that offers panoramic views of Ibiza Town. And let’s be honest, is there anything more legendary than watching the sun creep through that glass at 6 AM while Jamie Jones drops a unreleased gem? It’s those moments that remind us why we live on this rock.

A Lineup That Breathing Life into the Machine

While the full guest list is still under wraps, if last season’s roster is anything to go by—think The Martinez Brothers, Marco Carola, and Joseph Capriati—we are in for a treat. Paradise has always been about family, and despite the massive scale of [UNVRS], Jamie has a knack for keeping the vibe tight and community-focused.

It’s rare to see a residency evolve so quickly, but Starship Eden feels like the natural next step. It’s not just about the music; it’s about "activating the space." Every rhythm reshapes the form, every frequency triggers new growth. It sounds deep, we know, but if you’ve been on a dancefloor at 4 AM when the track hits just right, you understand exactly what that means.

Ready for Takeoff?

So, are you ready to board the Starship? The 2026 season is shaping up to be one for the history books. Whether you're a veteran who remembers the sweaty days of the DC-10 terrace or a newcomer experiencing the Hyperclub for the first time, this is the place to be.

We’ll see you in the cosmic garden, front left, losing track of time and space. Jamie Jones is at the wheel, and we’re all just along for the ride.
