There are weeks in Ibiza, and then there are weeks like this one. Between July 19 and 25, 2026, the island's open-air venues are stacked with some of the biggest names in electronic music, and if you have been waiting for the right moment to book a headline night, this is it. From Swedish House Mafia's Sunday homecoming to David Guetta, Calvin Harris and a new wave of superstar residents, here is your guide to Ibiza's biggest headline DJ sets this week — with the practical details you actually need to plan a great night out.
We have deliberately spread this across the whole week and across venues, so whether you want a Sunday sunset with a supergroup or a Tuesday spent dancing under the stars, there is something here worth building a night around.
Sunday sets the tone: supergroups and legends
The week opens loud. Swedish House Mafia return to Ushuaïa Ibiza in Playa d'en Bossa for their exclusive Sunday residency, and there are few better ways to spend a July evening on the island. Doors open at 17:00 while the sun is still high, and the open-air main stage means you get the full production — lights, pyro and that unmistakable stadium sound — with the sky doing half the work. Tickets start around €100 and climb to €500 for premium tables, so decide early whether you want the pit or the platform.
If your taste runs deeper and more hypnotic, Carl Cox headlines the vast [UNVRS] in San Rafael the same night, sharing the bill with Andrea Oliva b2b Maceo Plex — a proper techno heavyweight line-up in one of the island's newest large-format spaces. Tickets run from roughly €50 to €250. And over at Hï Ibiza, also in Playa d'en Bossa, CamelPhat bring their melodic, festival-sized house across multiple rooms, with Tiga and a stacked supporting cast. Three very different flavours, all on a Sunday — the trick is choosing.
The Monday-to-Tuesday superstar run
Ibiza does not slow down after the weekend; it arguably peaks midweek. On Monday July 20, David Guetta brings his long-running "F*** Me I'm Famous!" party back to Ushuaïa, a big, hands-in-the-air commercial-house spectacle that has become one of the island's signature nights. It is not subtle, and that is entirely the point. Expect a 17:00 start and tickets from around €125.
The same evening, John Summit presents Experts Only takes over [UNVRS] with Cassian in support — one of the hottest names in the current tech-house and progressive crossover, playing to a room built for exactly this scale of production.
Then Tuesday July 21 delivers a genuine one-two. Calvin Harris headlines Ushuaïa with Disciples alongside him, a pop-leaning, euphoric set tailor-made for golden hour in Playa d'en Bossa. Meanwhile Anyma presents ÆDEN at [UNVRS], with Argy on the line-up, is the audiovisual show everyone has been talking about — a cinematic, sci-fi-tinged production that pushes what a club night can look like. If you only splurge on one big-ticket night this week, these two are the strongest contenders.
For the heads: intimate, credible and a little different
Not every headline night needs a stadium. On Tuesday July 21, Pikes Presents decamps to 528 Ibiza for a garden-to-club marathon featuring Sasha & John Digweed — a partnership that helped define modern progressive house — plus Erol Alkan and Pikes' own residents. The garden stage runs from 18:00, so you can catch legends while it is still light and stay for the late session. Tickets sit around €29 to €51, which for that line-up is remarkable value.
For something joyously camp and full of heart, La Troya lands at Club Chinois in Ibiza Town on Monday July 20, this edition featuring Melanie C and Jodie Harsh. It is one of Ibiza's most beloved LGBTQ+ parties, big on glitter, attitude and sing-along energy, in a more intimate room than the mega-clubs.
Daytime headliners: dance before dark
If late nights are not your thing, Ibiza's daytime scene now carries names as big as the after-dark bills. O Beach Ibiza in San Antonio runs a strong week of pool parties: Joel Corry headlines on Monday July 20 from 13:00 (tickets a friendly €20–€30), and the venue's KISS-branded and house-focused Sundays keep the energy high with live musicians and drummers layered over the DJs.
On Wednesday July 22, the unmistakable elrow circus takes over Ushuaïa with De La Swing, Marco Faraone and Wade — expect confetti storms, wild costumes and one of the most immersive daytime productions anywhere on the island. And for a more festival-in-the-sun feel, Ibiza Rocks keeps its poolside sessions rolling through the week with brunch parties and resident-led afternoons.
How to plan your headline night
A few things worth knowing before you commit. Big nights sell out, and the best table and early-bird prices go first, so book ahead through official channels rather than gambling on the door. Most open-air shows start in the late afternoon and run into the small hours, so pace yourself — sunscreen and water early, then let the night build.
Getting home matters too. Playa d'en Bossa, San Antonio and San Rafael all get busy at closing time, so pre-book a taxi or check the discobús night routes before you head out. And if you are moving between venues, factor in that these areas are spread across the island; a Sunday in Playa d'en Bossa and a Tuesday show at [UNVRS] are not neighbours.
Finally, dress for the venue. The mega-clubs lean glamorous, the garden and pool parties lean relaxed, and comfortable shoes will always be your best friend by 3am.
This is one of the strongest headline weeks of the summer, and whichever direction you go — supergroup, techno legend, audiovisual spectacle or a sun-soaked pool session — you are spoiled for choice.
