Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza – Sundays 2026

Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza, Sundays 2026: 13 Years of the Residency That Nobody Wants to End

There is a specific kind of Sunday night in Ibiza that belongs entirely to one man and whoever he decides to invite. The booth is in the center of the room. The crowd surrounds it on all sides. The night does not end quickly because nobody in the room wants it to. And somewhere in the middle of a Solomun set that is two hours deep and still building, with the bass warming the walls of the most famous nightclub in the world, the specific message that has guided this residency for over a decade settles over the dancefloor like a shared agreement: Nobody Is Not Loved.

Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza returns for the 2026 season running every Sunday from May 31 to October 4, 2026: 19 consecutive Sunday nights in the venue that has been Ibiza's defining nightclub since 1973. This marks the 14th consecutive season of one of the most celebrated and longest-running DJ residencies in the island's history, a relationship between an artist and a venue that began in 2013 and has grown, season by season, into something that Pacha's own team describes as "one of the most influential residencies in Ibiza."

Ibiza Spotlight, watching the island's club scene with a decade of accumulated perspective on this specific residency, put it plainly in their 2026 announcement: "13 years deep and still thriving." The guest list from 2025 says everything about why: Skrillex, Anyma, Jamie xx, Four Tet, Peggy Gou, Marco Carola, Denis Sulta. Seven extraordinary guests across a single season, each one chosen by Solomun personally, each one representing a different corner of the electronic and wider music world, and each one sharing the Pacha dancefloor with an artist whose own musical depth makes the sharing meaningful.

Who Solomun is: from Travnik to Ibiza via Hamburg

Mladen Solomun was born on December 27, 1975, in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and grew up in Hamburg, Germany, the city that became both his permanent home and the base from which he built one of the most coherent artistic identities in contemporary electronic music.

Hamburg's house music scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s had its own distinct character: less technically focused than Berlin's techno world, more rooted in vocal and melodic house traditions that had been present in the city since the late 1980s. Solomun absorbed that character and reflected it back in his own productions and DJ sets: music that was, as he once described it to NSS Magazine, a deliberate reaction against the minimalism that dominated the early 2000s. "For me it was too much and I had the strong feeling that electronic music could easily have a little bit more emotions," he explained. "This was also one of the reasons we founded Diynamic, to give this sound a platform."

Diynamic Music was co-founded by Solomun and Adriano Trolio on November 4, 2006, in Hamburg, and in 2026 it enters its 20th year of operation. From its Hamburg base, Diynamic has grown into one of the most respected underground house labels in the world, releasing music by Solomun alongside artists including H.O.S.H., Stimming, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, WhoMadeWho, and a roster of names that collectively define a sound: melodically rich, rhythmically deep, emotionally honest, and completely consistent with the underground values that the label was founded to champion.

His awards reflect the consistency of that commitment:

• Three-time DJ Awards winner for Best Producer and Best Deep House DJ
• A residency and performance history that spans Coachella, Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, and the world's most prestigious electronic music events
• A 2025 performance at Sphere in Las Vegas, one of the most technologically advanced entertainment venues ever built, placing Solomun in the company of artists at the very front of both artistic and production ambition
• A recent stop at Alexandra Palace in London as part of an ongoing headline touring program
• An October 2025 collaboration with Anyma on "Till I Die" that demonstrated his continued creative currency with the next generation of electronic music
• A recent remix of Nina Simone's "Take Care of Business" for Verve Records that placed him in direct conversation with jazz and soul heritage while operating within an electronic production framework

The Nina Simone remix is particularly illustrative of Solomun's artistic range. Verve Records, the legendary jazz imprint that originally released Nina Simone, does not commission remixes from DJs who lack the depth to handle the material. The fact that they turned to Solomun is a confirmation of the musical intelligence that his Pacha audiences have experienced for 13 consecutive years.

The +1 concept: the most elegant idea in residency history

The +1 concept is, in retrospect, an idea so simple and so effective that its absence from other major residencies is genuinely surprising.

Every Sunday at Pacha, Solomun performs alongside exactly one guest. Not a support act and a headline. Not three or four names on a poster. One DJ, playing alongside Solomun, sharing the stage and the music for the full duration of the night.

The implications of this format are extensive. The guest must be significant enough to justify the singular billing, which means Solomun's guest selections operate at the level of the world's finest DJs, producers, and musicians rather than the support tier. The guest's set is long rather than brief, giving them time to develop a musical argument across several hours rather than delivering a highlight reel in 90 minutes. The result is a musical conversation between two artists at the top of their craft, rather than a DJ night organized as a talent showcase.

Pacha's official description captures the philosophy precisely: "The structure remains deliberately simple, giving space for the artists and their music to shape each night on their own terms."

The booth at the center of the room, which Solomun introduced at Pacha and which has become one of the most instantly recognizable visual signatures of the residency, is the physical expression of the same philosophy. By placing the DJ at the center of the dancefloor rather than elevated at one end, Solomun dissolved the performer-audience separation that conventional club design maintains. The crowd surrounds the DJ on all sides, and the relationship between the music and the movement that responds to it becomes circular and mutual rather than directional. It is a small architectural decision with large human consequences: a Sunday night at Solomun +1 at Pacha feels different from virtually any other club night specifically because of where the booth is.

Fourteen years and counting: the Pacha-Solomun history

Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza began in 2013 and has run without interruption across every subsequent summer, making it one of the longest-running continuous residencies at any single venue in Ibiza's history.

The residency's growth across 13 seasons has been, in the language of the industry, organic: built entirely on the quality of the musical experience rather than on marketing campaigns, celebrity associations, or the commercial production values that drive attendance at many comparable events. Loud Life's characterization of the format is precise: "extended sets, a booth placed within the crowd, and a focus on continuity rather than rapid change." Each of those three elements is deliberate and each reinforces the others.

The 2025 season demonstrated exactly how the +1 concept performs at its highest level. Ibiza Spotlight confirmed the guest roster: Skrillex, Anyma, Jamie xx, Four Tet, Peggy Gou, Marco Carola, Denis Sulta. That is a single season's guest list that spans the distance from bass music to ambient electronic, from deep house to French electronic, from Scottish techno to South Korean minimal: a range that no other curator in the world's current DJ scene could credibly assemble for their own weekly Ibiza night. It is simultaneously evidence of Solomun's musical breadth and a practical demonstration of the respect that artists across the electronic spectrum have for what he has built over 13 years at Pacha.

The 2026 guest list was not fully announced at time of writing, with Pacha confirming that weekly +1 selections would be released progressively through the season as they had been in previous years. Following @solomun808 on Instagram, pacha.com, and ibiza-spotlight.com provides the earliest confirmed access to each weekly guest announcement.

Pacha Ibiza: where 14 seasons of Sundays live

Pacha Ibiza was founded in 1973 at Passeig Joan Carles I, 07800 Eivissa, making it the longest continuously operating nightclub on the island and one of the oldest in the world. Its famous double-cherry logo is globally recognized as a symbol of Ibiza itself, and the venue's position in the marina area of Ibiza Town, within walking distance of the Dalt Vila UNESCO-listed walled city, gives it the most historically layered physical context of any Ibiza club.

As Pacha's own team notes: "Pacha Ibiza has been a fixture on the island since 1973, long enough to have become synonymous with Ibiza's identity as a global destination for dance music. Solomun +1 has grown within that context, contributing to the institution around it while carving out a distinct character of its own."

The Solomun +1 move to place the booth at the center of the room was a physical intervention in Pacha's own architecture, and the fact that Pacha accommodated and ultimately embraced the change across 14 seasons is a testament to the mutual trust between the venue and its most beloved long-term resident. The centered booth is now so associated with the Sunday night experience at Pacha that many regular visitors to the residency cannot picture the room any other way.

The marina area around Pacha, with its promenade walkway lined with moored yachts and the illuminated Dalt Vila rising on the hillside to the south, provides a physical approach to a Sunday night that perfectly fits the introspective, warm, and emotionally resonant character of the Solomun +1 experience. Walking the marina on a Sunday evening in late July, with the Ibiza summer at its warmest and the first bars of whatever Solomun has chosen to open with drifting out through the Pacha entrance, is one of the most quintessentially Ibizan experiences the island offers.

The full 2026 Sunday season: 19 weeks confirmed

The confirmed Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza 2026 season runs across 19 consecutive Sunday nights:

May: May 31 (Opening Night)

June: June 7, June 14, June 21, June 28

July: July 5, July 12, July 19, July 26

August: August 2, August 9, August 16, August 23, August 30

September: September 6, September 13, September 20, September 27

October: October 4 (Closing Party)

The Opening Night: Sunday, May 31

The May 31 Opening Night launches the 14th season of Solomun +1 at Pacha with the specific energy that only an opening night brings: the first revelation of who the season's first +1 guest is, the first hours of the centered booth surrounded by a crowd that has been anticipating this moment since October, and the full awareness of 19 weeks of Sunday nights stretching ahead.

Peak Sundays: July and August

The nine Sunday shows across July and August represent the peak of the season in terms of crowd intensity and island energy. The warmest nights, the fullest dancefloor, and the highest demand of the year all concentrate in these nine weeks. Advance ticket purchasing for any Sunday in July or August is essential.

The closing party: Sunday, October 4

The October 4 Closing Party is the emotional culmination of a 19-week run and, for those who have attended multiple Solomun +1 seasons, one of the most reliably moving nights in the Ibiza calendar. When Solomun plays the final track of the final Sunday and the lights come up in the Pacha main room, the knowledge that this specific Sunday experience will not happen again until May 2027 concentrates the crowd's attention in a way that no peak-season show can match.

Diynamic's 20th year and what it means for the 2026 season

The 2026 season arrives with the additional context of Diynamic Music entering its 20th year. The label that Solomun co-founded with Adriano Trolio in Hamburg in November 2006 has spent two decades releasing music that has defined a specific corner of underground electronic culture, and the anniversary year brings with it a program of commemorative releases, special collaborative projects, and milestone events that are expected to feed directly into the Pacha Sunday season.

Loud Life notes the significance: the 2026 Pacha season "further extends a shared legacy defined by long-term continuity" between Solomun, Diynamic, and Pacha, three institutions whose combined histories now span the better part of three decades of Ibiza and global dance music culture.

The Nina Simone remix on Verve Records and the Anyma collaboration "Till I Die," both released in 2025 and both demonstrating Solomun's reach across genre and generation, suggest a 2026 +1 guest list that could extend even further than the remarkable 2025 edition. When an artist is remixing jazz canon while simultaneously collaborating with the next generation of electronic music, the range of artists who might logically appear as his +1 at Pacha on a Sunday becomes almost impossibly broad.

What to expect inside

Arriving at Pacha for a Solomun +1 Sunday and entering the main room to find the booth at the center of the crowd is, for first-time attendees, immediately recognizable as different. The dancefloor surrounds the booth on all sides. There is no wrong side of the room, no back-of-the-venue exile from the music source. Every position in the room is equidistant from the center of the night, and Solomun's own physical presence behind the decks, visible from every angle, makes the collective nature of the experience immediately perceptible.
