The iconic Ushuaïa Ibiza will be fully transformed, its epic pool stage at the centre of the action as innovative audio-visuals take you into another dimension.

The season starts with three day-into-night events which will take place across both Ushuaïa & Hï Ibiza. They will feature carefully curated line-ups that celebrate all that is loved about the ANTS sound, with plenty of freshadditions that take the party into the next chapter and set an unthinkably high standard for the entire season ahead.

This pioneering approach proved such a hit that ANTS has grown to become one of the most recognisable brands in clubland with a global “colony” of passionate music lovers. As well as its legendary Ibiza residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza, ANTS regularly hosts unique events and stages around the world, marching into leading clubs and festivals like Printworks, Fabrik, Tomorrowland, Snowbombing, BPM Festival, and many more.
