The black-clad ANTS colony returns to Ushuaïa Ibiza this Saturday, September 19, for another open-air session built around tech house, underground sounds and a seven-artist lineup that brings together established names and newer-generation selectors.

The party runs from 17:00 to 23:00, with tickets currently available from €30. Ushuaïa operates an 18+ policy, requires original valid identification and does not allow re-entry. The club also notes that lineups and set times can change on the day.

Ilario Alicante leads the lineup

Ilario Alicante headlines the September 19 programme, joined by Paco Osuna B2B Melanie Ribbe, Manda Moor B2B Sirus Hood, Bastian Bux and Adez. The full lineup is confirmed by the current Clubtickets and Ushuaïa listings.

The afternoon has several back-to-back combinations at its centre. Paco Osuna and Melanie Ribbe share one set, while Manda Moor and Sirus Hood form the second B2B pairing, creating a programme that moves between different interpretations of the ANTS sound rather than relying on a single headliner.

ANTS returns to its roots

The 2026 ANTS season has been built around the message "No System. Only Sound", with the concept placing renewed emphasis on music and community. The residency has also introduced a more stripped-back production approach and a mobile-free ethos, encouraging guests to experience the dancefloor without the usual focus on screens and recording.

ANTS has been a regular part of Ushuaïa's Saturday programme since its launch in 2013. The 2026 residency runs every Saturday from May 2 through October 3, with the special ANTS Day & Night format having connected daytime sessions at Ushuaïa with late-night events at UNVRS during May.

The music is primarily centred on tech house, with influences from melodic house, techno and deep house. That broad electronic foundation allows the weekly lineups to move between established underground artists and newer names while retaining the identity of the ANTS brand.

The final two Saturdays

September 19 is now part of the final three ANTS dates of the 2026 season. After this weekend, the party returns on September 26 with Maceo Plex, Nic Fanciulli, M-High, Antares and Raul Rodriguez.

The season then closes on October 3 with Franky Rizardo, Nic Fanciulli B2B Sosa, Bontan B2B Rafael, Ranger Trucco B2B Robbie Doherty, Meeshy and Raul Rodriguez. The closing party also begins earlier, at 15:00.

What guests should know

Ushuaïa's dress code for ANTS is casual, but the club does not permit sports team jerseys, flip-flops, tank tops, swimwear, shorts or bare torsos. Guests with on-stage VIP tickets are required to wear black.

The September 19 session is also strictly 18+, with original ID required. Tickets do not allow re-entry, and the club advises that advertised artists, set times and operating hours remain subject to change.

With Ilario Alicante leading the bill, two B2B combinations adding another layer to the programme and Ushuaïa's open-air stage providing the setting, this Saturday's ANTS session continues the final stretch of the 2026 residency. Only two more editions remain after September 19 before the colony closes its Ushuaïa season on October 3.
