Ibiza Old Town hosts Ibiza Spotlight's 50th Anniversary Party on 17 October 2026, bringing an open-air music programme to Baluarte de Sant Pere in Ibiza, Spain. The event runs from 6pm to midnight and forms part of a wider outdoor celebration at the foot of the fortress.
The party is organised by Ibiza Spotlight with theHUB and Hippy House. Party plans for 17 October identify Baluarte de Sant Pere as the venue for the Ibiza Spotlight stage.
Ibiza Old Town hosts a public party on 17 October
Ibiza Spotlight's 50th Anniversary Party is scheduled for Saturday 17 October 2026. The programme at Baluarte de Sant Pere runs from 6pm until midnight, while Hippy House's One Last Summer Dance starts at 5pm in Parc Reina Sofía below the fortress.
The organisers have announced Kellie Allen, Lissy Lübeck, Timo, Midge, Kieran Goodacre and Ilvhann for the Ibiza Spotlight stage. Manu Gonzalez and Francisco Allendes are among the performers announced for the neighbouring Hippy House programme. Admission to the public event is free, according to the organiser.
Ibiza Old Town links the party to Renaissance defences
The venue sits within a fortified upper town whose walls were built between 1554 and 1585 by the Italian engineers Giovanni Battista Calvi and Jacobo Paleazzo Fratin. The complex preserves a network of streets, alleys and passageways alongside the Cathedral, the University, Almudaina Castle and the Santo Domingo convent.
UNESCO describes the fortified upper town as an outstanding example of Renaissance military architecture. UNESCO's account of the upper town places it within the World Heritage property Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture, inscribed in 1999.
The event therefore uses a specific bastion within a World Heritage setting rather than a separate concert venue. Its location connects a fiftieth-anniversary programme with the defensive architecture that gives Ibiza's old town its protected status.
