After an exceptionally poor 2009 lineup El Divino finally announced what many had predicted that the club would not be opening under current management in 2010. In a slightly less predictable move though a couple of weeks ago Ibiza Spotlight reported that the El Divino venue would be taken over by Pacha in 2010 and, presumably, continue functioning as a club. This is a turnaround from earlier reports that the pier was going to be ripped down in the winter to make way for a new development in the marina.

El Divino has been going downhill not so steadily since losing Hed Kandi (its only real international night in 2008) to Space last summer. Pacha stepping in and taking over El Divino probably means the clubs survival is guaranteed for 2010 which can only be a good thing for the Ibiza club scene although obviously having a superbrand like Pacha running 2 venues in Ibiza is going to raise concerns with some about diversity in the scene.
