Radio 1 weekend in Ibiza is the biggest weekend of the year in the White Isle- the annual dance marathon you simply shouldn't miss! Expect to see the world's hottest DJ's in the world's best nightclubs all in one weekend of fun and madness!
Last year's weekend was a huge success and arguably bigger and better than previous years, with the event kicking off with Annie Mac and Pete Tong returning to Ibiza Rocks Hotel for a huge outdoor free party, which saw Florence and the Machine, Mark Ronson, Tinchy Styder, Swedish House Mafia and Deadmau5 to name a few, take to the stange for an unforgettable night! Radio 1 Weekend also covered Come Together at Space with Zane Lowe, Cocoon at Amnesia with Sven Vath and Galuzzi, and not forgetting Annie Mac and Pete Tong's appearence at Cream at the world's biggest club Privilege!
Update- 21st July 2011: BBC announce full details of the 2011 Radio 1 Weekend in Ibiza including ticket info. Here's what we know so far...
The weekend will now kick off on Friday 5th August 2011 at 3:30pm (Ibiza time) with a free party from the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel (this was originally going to happen at Space in Playa D'en Bossa). Tickets for the free party are going to be available in Ibiza on the Wednesday of that week (3rd August) so if you're planning on heading out for the party you'll probably need to be there by Wednesday to get yourself a wristband. There are 4000 wristbands available for the free party.
Where to get tickets for the Radio 1 weekend free party at Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel
- San Antonio: Café Mambo from 11:00am / Ibiza Rocks Bar* from 11:00am
- Playa D'en Bossa: Sands Beach Restaurant - 10:00am / Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel - residents only from 10:00am
- Ibiza Town: Base Bar from 20:00pm
*Note - Ibiza Rocks Bar is not at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, its on the San Antonio waterfront opposite the beach (used to be called Bar M)
Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank kicks off the Radio 1 weekend at the free party at 3.30 before the live broadcast on Radio 1 starts at 7:30 with Annie Mac and Pete Tong alongside other DJ's including Carl Cox and Erick Morillo.
After the free party closes at midnight the party will continue with Deadmau5, Magnetic Man, Jamie Jones, Funkagenda and Breakage behind the decks at Come Together at Space playing a live essential mix broadcast live on Radio One.

Thinking of going?
If you're planning on going out for the Radio 1 weekend in 2011 don't leave it too late to book your flights and hotels as in previous years Ibiza has been pretty much fully booked over these dates so get in there now to avoid disappointment.
If you've left it late probably the cheapest way to get out there will be on a last minute package deal. For about £400 you can get a flights and hotel package for Thursday- Thursday coinciding with the Radio 1 weekend.
Alternatively you can search for Ibiza hotels here on Love Ibiza, our hotels are powered by booking.com:
For flights, shop around for the best deal flying at the most convenient times. I'd probably look to fly out thursday evening for the weekend and back on the Monday.
