Ibiza Rocks Opening Party with Royal Blood / Black Honey

The Ibiza Rocks story started in the backroom of Manumission, moving to the Ibiza Rocks Bar - formerly called the Bar M - in San Antonio back in 2005. Hosting a variety of quality live acts over three years, the Ibiza Rocks Hotel was launched in 2008 and eight years later they continue to challenge the soundscape of the island. ​People often say that 'guitar music' is dead but the team behind Ibiza Rocks have long battled to challenge this theory, and with so many years of experience behind them there isn't a soul on this island that doesn't believe them. Two seasons on from celebrating its milestone tenth anniversary, Ibiza Rocks' live series returns to lay down the stage for another slew of incredible live shows between 4 July until 5 September, and in 2017 it's taking on the Tuesday slot. There is a hunger for live music on Ibiza, from the younger crowd who love Chase & Status, Jake Bugg and the like, to the more seasoned music fans who were treated to some of the greatest nights of music over the last few years courtesy of New Order, CHIC! and Madness - proof that there is much more to this island than superstar DJs and monster clubs. Ibiza Rocks ensure all bases are covered - whether it's indie, folk, rock, urban or electronic, a Wednesday night spent in front of that famous stage, next to the pool and under the stars is guaranteed to make your holiday one to remember. Your line-up this year includes South London rapper Stormzy who's in on Tuesday 11 July with the first ever #MERKY Festival. On 18 July it's the turn of NME Award winner Dua Lipa who'll make her Ibiza Rocks debut, and the final gig of the month goes to Grammy award-winning Clean Bandit and Atlantic Records pop-soul newcomer, Mullally, on July 25. First up in August is four-piece indie rock band Bastille. They'll be coming in strong after their Wild Wild world tour and huge festival appearances, and your support for the session is from Warner Brothers signing, Rationale. And in what is set to be a mega highlight of the season, Ibiza Rocks is moving over to the iconic Pikes Hotel on 29 August to host rock royalty Primal Scream. And finally, on 5 September Ibiza Rocks favourites The Kooks will be in with their ´Best Off…So Far´ gig for the climatic closing. The band, who've been part of the family since it all began in 2005, will be pushing hotly tipped Brighton band Fickle Friends as support. Remember guys, on the island this is your home for where the best in live music happens.
