Amnesia Ibiza Celebrates 50 Years with 19-Hour Closing Festival and KV2 Audio Sound Systems

November 11, 2026

Amnesia Ibiza marked its 50th anniversary in 2026 with a 19-hour Closing Festival, bringing together more than 25 DJs for a celebration that began outdoors on Saturday, 10 October, and continued through the night until midday on Sunday. Alongside the anniversary celebrations, the legendary nightclub's sound infrastructure also took centre stage, highlighting its long-standing relationship with Czech audio manufacturer KV2 Audio.

The milestone season represented five decades of electronic music culture on the island, while the Closing Festival provided an opportunity to showcase the sound systems installed across the club's Main Room and Terrace.

Fifty Years of Amnesia Ibiza

Opened in 1976, Amnesia began as an open-air venue during a period when Ibiza was developing its own distinctive music and nightlife culture.

Over the following decades, the club became one of the island's defining nightlife destinations, welcoming internationally recognised DJs and electronic music artists across its two principal spaces, the Main Room and Terrace.

For its 50th anniversary, Amnesia placed particular emphasis on its history and musical identity. The 2026 Closing Festival introduced an outdoor Anniversary Area in the club's car park, recreating the open-air atmosphere associated with its early years.

The outdoor programme began at 17:00 on Saturday, 10 October, before the celebrations moved inside the club at 23:00. Three indoor spaces offered different musical experiences, with the Main Room, Terrace and El Taller hosting artists across techno, house and other electronic music styles.

The anniversary celebration continued until midday on Sunday, completing a 19-hour programme.

KV2 Audio Powers the Main Room and Terrace

One of the central elements of Amnesia's anniversary season was its sound infrastructure, developed through an ongoing partnership with KV2 Audio that began in 2018.

The Main Room's original KV2 installation was upgraded in 2022. The current configuration features nine SL412 wide-dispersion loudspeakers, four VHD8.10 low-mid modules and 19 VHD2.18J subwoofers. Additional loudspeakers provide coverage across the balcony and VIP areas.

The Terrace received a separate sound system installation in 2025. Its configuration includes eight SL412 loudspeakers, eight VHD8.10 low-mid modules and 24 VHD2.18J subwoofers.

The Terrace system is also supported by KV2's VHD7000D amplification and dedicated DJ monitoring.

Together, these installations are designed to provide consistent sound coverage, clarity and controlled low-frequency performance across the two principal dancefloors.

The systems were put to use throughout the anniversary Closing Festival, with performances spanning different electronic music styles and extended playing hours.

More Than 25 DJs Across Three Indoor Rooms and an Outdoor Festival Area

The Closing Festival brought together more than 25 DJs for a programme that extended from Saturday afternoon into Sunday lunchtime.

The outdoor Anniversary Area featured performances from Luca Donzelli, Kolter and Traumer, Joseph Capriati, Alisha and Julian Fijma, Groove Armada and Max Dean, among others. Locomía also made a surprise appearance during Joseph Capriati's sunset performance.

Inside the club, the Main Room focused on techno and harder electronic sounds, with performances from Nina Kraviz, Deborah De Luca, Klangkuenstler and other artists.

The Terrace continued Amnesia's house music tradition, with appearances from Jamie Fielding, Luke Dean and Locky, Marco Faraone and Obskür, Max Dean and Sidney Charles, among others.

El Taller, a third indoor space introduced for the anniversary Closing, offered a more intimate musical setting, with Franco Moiraghi, Jason Bye and Les Schmitz connecting different generations of the club's musical history.

Joseph Capriati and Josh Baker Close the Anniversary Season

One of the defining moments of the celebrations came on Sunday morning, when Joseph Capriati and Josh Baker took over the Terrace at 09:00 for a back-to-back performance.

The two DJs played for three hours and eight minutes, bringing the anniversary season to its conclusion as daylight entered the dancefloor.

The set included familiar electronic music classics alongside special selections, with Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)' providing the final musical moment.

The performance also attracted international attention beyond Ibiza, with BBC Radio 1 recording Josh Baker's sunrise You&Me set for its Essential Mix.

A Continuing Commitment to Sound and Club Culture

Amnesia's 50th anniversary offered an opportunity to look back at the venue's development since 1976 while highlighting the technical infrastructure supporting its contemporary club experience.

The relationship with KV2 Audio, established in 2018 and developed through subsequent upgrades to the Main Room and Terrace, reflects the importance the venue places on its sound systems.

After five decades of music, the 2026 Closing Festival brought the anniversary season to an end with an extended celebration spanning outdoor performances, three indoor rooms and a final sunrise set on the Terrace.

For Amnesia, the anniversary was not simply a celebration of its history, but also a reminder of the music, artists and dancefloor experiences that have shaped its place in Ibiza's nightlife culture.
