Whether you were dreaming about the White Isle, actually exploring it, or lucky enough to be there grooving until the morning hours, it goes without saying that a summer in Ibiza is unlike any other.
With September now here, the attention of many shifts to the ample amount of closing parties taking place on Ibiza.

It was no easy task, but here are some of the best 2015 Ibiza closing parties.
Note: Events listed in order of occurrence
Since taking over Thursdays at Space, Richie Hawtin’s ENTER has reached new heights when defining what a club night can be. ENTER utilizes Space in such a way that divides the experience into many unique atmosphere’s throughout the night. Between ENTER Main, Mind, Cntrl, Sake, and Terrace there is a rich experience waiting to happen at every turn.
The 2015 ENTER Closing Party will start at 9:00 PM with Dubfire and Victor Calderone warming the night up in the Sake Bar. A long night on the horizon, but those who come early will be rewarded with an intimate set from the two legends. The Terrace at Space will feature special sets from ENTER residents Mind Against, Bella Sarris, and Matador, while Richie Hawtin, Marcel Dettmann, and Julian Jeweil handle ENTER Main.
Providing cerebral support in ENTER Mind will be the ever-talented TM404 and ambient guru .thejass.
For those looking to attend as many closing parties as possible, add ENTER to your list. As one of the first major closing parties, it leaves plenty of time to rally before the next wave of events begin…and from the looks of it, it’ll be worth the marathon.

Luciano and his Vagabundos offered some of the best electronic music to the island this year. The summer Vagabundos lineups saw many Cadenza mainstays such as Mirko Loko, Valentino Kanzyani, Cesar Merveille, and more, but also hinted towards more eclectic tastes with the techno vibes of Ben Sims and Robert Hood, as well as the progressive energy of Guy J and company.
Luciano, a legend in his own right, always delivers forward thinking events and music in this industry, and the 2015 Vagabundos closing will be no exception. The Cadenza boss will be joined by friends Valentino Kanzyani and Ryan Crosson to deliver a memorable night of beats in the Discoteca for the closing party.

Tribal Sessions made headlines in more ways than one this year. From the separation with Darius Syrossian back in April to having DJ Snoopadelic grace the decks at Sankeys there wasn’t a shortage of talking points about the clubbing brand. That being said, it didn’t seem to slow them down in Ibiza as Tribal Sessions played host to another incredible season featuring some of the most talented names in the underground.
With the likes of Cuartero, Redshape, Argy, and many others, Tribal Sessions turned Sankeys into the “go-to” rave spot on the White Isle. The closing party will commemorate that accordingly with Tribal Sessions residents Argy, Jozef K, Julian Perez, Manu Gonzalez, Secondcity, and Shlomi Aber holding down the basement for the closing party. Rumor has it that there’s two special guests scheduled to play too, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

When progressive legend, John Digweed, and techno pioneer, Kevin Saunderson, step into the booth for a closing party you know that it really is going to be an insane night of music. Which is why a billing like this is more than appropriate for the 2015 Insane Closing at Pacha.
After a successful season with a variety of great artists, Insane ends in proper style with Digweed, Saunderson, Huxley, and Alex Kennon taking things in the right direction all night long.
