Pikes Goes Large: The Iconic "Pikes Presents" Heads to the Hills of 528 Ibiza
If you know Ibiza, you know that the spirit of rock 'n' roll hedonism lives at Pikes. But let’s be honest: the magic of Freddies—that legendary, sweat-dripping suite—comes with a capacity limit that breaks hearts nightly. This summer, the team behind the island's most culturally significant hotel is solving that problem in spectacular style. Pikes Presents is packing its record bag and moving up the hill to the sprawling, open-air paradise of 528 Ibiza.
Same Soul, Bigger Playground
Taking over the Benimussa Hills (formerly the Zoo Project site) every Tuesday from late May through October, this collaboration is a game-changer. Some might worry about losing that "house party" intimacy, but having spoken to the team, the soul remains 100% intact. The concept is simple: Andy McKay and the Pikes crew are taking the "Pikes Presents" ethos—giving world-class DJs carte blanche to play whatever they want—and giving it a stage that matches the stature of the talent.
It’s the curation you love, without the guestlist anxiety. This move ensures that the music comes first, allowing legends who have technically "outgrown" the intimate rooms of Pikes to stretch their legs in a space without limitations.
From Golden Hour to the Club
The flow of these Tuesdays is designed to mimic the perfect Balearic trajectory. It all kicks off at 18:30 on the 528 Garden Stage. Picture this: golden hour hitting the pine-covered hills, a drink in hand, and a soundtrack that builds from sunset vibes to open-air euphoria—reminiscent of the island's early days before roofs were mandatory.
But at 23:00, the energy shifts. The party moves inside to the 528 Club (formerly the Teatro), running until 04:00 AM. This is where things get darker, sweatier, and more intense, capturing the focused energy of a club night while retaining that Pikes freedom.
While specific lineups are often kept as delicious surprises, past collaborations have seen heavyweights like Fatboy Slim, Goldie, The Blessed Madonna, and Sven Väth digging deep into their crates. If you want the Pikes musical storytelling but crave the energy of dancing under the stars with a few thousand like-minded souls, this is your new Tuesday ritual.
See you in the hills.
