The Port of Ibiza became an open-air dancefloor on Wednesday evening as Solomun returned for the 11th edition of his free Solomun at the Port event.

The German-Bosnian DJ and producer performed a full four-hour set from 19:00 to 23:00, with the historic port and Dalt Vila providing the setting.

Admission was completely free.

The 11th edition

The 2026 event marked the 11th edition of Solomun at the Port.

The tradition began in 2014 and was conceived as a way for Solomun to give something back to the local community while supporting businesses around the port.

Since then, the event has returned as a free September gathering, bringing electronic music into the public space of Ibiza's historic harbour.

A four-hour set by Solomun

Unlike Solomun's regular club performances, the Port event centres on a single extended performance.

On September 23, Solomun played from 19:00 until 23:00, giving the audience four hours of music outdoors.

The event was open to the public without an admission charge.

Music in the heart of Ibiza Town

The performance took place in the Old Port of Ibiza, with the medieval walls and profile of Dalt Vila visible behind the stage.

The setting makes the event notably different from a conventional Ibiza club night.

Instead of taking place inside a nightclub, the music was presented in the centre of the city, alongside the restaurants, bars, shops and businesses operating around the harbour.

A tradition created for the local community

Solomun at the Port was launched in 2014 with a stated aim of giving something back to the island and helping support businesses in the port area.

That community element has remained part of the event's identity.

The organisers continue to present it as a public celebration rather than a ticketed club event.

Pacha Ibiza is part of the organisation

Pacha Ibiza has been involved in the event alongside Solomun.

The 2026 edition was organised in collaboration with Ibiza Town Council and the Association of Residents of the Port of Ibiza.

Current event information also lists the Port of Ibiza and the port's wider local community among the partners supporting the celebration.

A different setting from Solomun+1

The Port event is separate from Solomun's regular Solomun+1 residency at Pacha Ibiza.

At Pacha, Solomun performs weekly Sunday events during the 2026 season.

The current Pacha calendar shows Solomun+1 continuing through October 4, with the closing party scheduled for that date.

Solomun at the Port, by contrast, is a single free public performance held outside the club environment.

The event has grown over the years

Organisers and event coverage have previously described the gathering as growing substantially since its first edition.

Earlier accounts said the event initially attracted around 5,000 people and later grew to approximately twice that scale.

However, no independently verified final attendance figure for the September 23, 2026 edition has been published in the current reports.

For that reason, the 2026 event should be described as a large public gathering without assigning a precise crowd number.

A September tradition

The timing of the event has also become part of its identity.

Held towards the end of the main summer season, Solomun at the Port provides an open-air electronic music event in Ibiza Town while the island's club calendar is moving towards its autumn closing period.

The 2026 edition again took place in late September, just as the summer season approaches its final weeks.

Ibiza's port as a public music space

The event demonstrates how the port area can host large public music events outside the island's established nightclub venues.

For four hours, the waterfront was used as the setting for Solomun's performance while surrounding businesses continued operating.

That combination of music, the historic setting and the local commercial area is part of the format that has been retained since the event began.

No ticket required

One of the defining features of Solomun at the Port is that there is no entrance fee.

Solomun himself confirmed the return of the tradition on social media ahead of the event, describing the September 23 performance as free as in previous editions.

That makes it fundamentally different from his ticketed performances at Pacha Ibiza and other venues around the island.

A full evening before the season winds down

The September 23 gathering provided four hours of electronic music in the port before the island moves further into its closing-season calendar.

For local residents, workers and visitors, it offered an opportunity to see one of Ibiza's best-known resident DJs in a public setting rather than behind the doors of a nightclub.

The event finished at 23:00.

From 2014 to 2026

What began in 2014 as a community-focused free performance has now reached its 11th edition.

The 2026 event once again brought Solomun's music into the Port of Ibiza for a full evening, maintaining the free-access format and the connection with local businesses and the community.

With Solomun's regular Pacha residency continuing into October, the Port performance represents a separate part of his long-running relationship with Ibiza.

Another late-season night in Ibiza

Wednesday's event added another memorable late-September gathering to Ibiza's 2026 calendar.

For four hours, the port provided the setting for a free performance by Solomun, with Dalt Vila as the backdrop and the surrounding harbour forming part of the event.

The 11th edition has now taken place, continuing a tradition that began more than a decade ago.
