Ibiza’s New Year’s Eve clubbing calendar has gained another major event, with Marco Carola’s Music On confirmed to take over Pacha Ibiza on Thursday, December 31, 2026.

The one-night celebration will see Carola joined by Seth Troxler, Ilario Alicante and Frank Storm for a six-hour party running from 11:00pm until 6:00am.

The event will mark the transition from 2026 into 2027 and continues Music On’s increasingly strong relationship with Pacha Ibiza.

Marco Carola leads the New Year’s Eve lineup

At the centre of the event will be Marco Carola, the Italian DJ and producer behind Music On.

Carola has been closely associated with Pacha Ibiza since 2019, when Music On established its long-running Friday residency at the club.

The residency has become one of the most established recurring events on Pacha’s calendar, built around Carola’s marathon-style performances and a rotating lineup of major names from the international tech-house and techno scene.

For New Year’s Eve, that familiar Music On identity will be condensed into a single special event rather than the regular Friday format.

Seth Troxler joins the celebration

Seth Troxler will join Carola for the New Year’s Eve party, bringing one of the most recognisable names from the international house and techno scene to Pacha.

The American DJ and producer has frequently appeared during the Music On season and is also booked for Carola’s September 25 residency date at Pacha, making the NYE performance another collaboration between two major figures in contemporary club culture.

Troxler is known for an eclectic approach to house and techno, making him a natural fit for the Music On format.

Ilario Alicante returns for another Music On appearance

Ilario Alicante will also be part of the New Year’s Eve lineup.

The Italian DJ has been a regular presence within the Music On ecosystem and is scheduled to appear alongside Carola at Pacha several times during the 2026 season.

His inclusion on December 31 continues that connection while adding another established techno name to the final event of the year.

Frank Storm completes the lineup

The fourth artist on the bill is Frank Storm.

The Italian DJ has become increasingly familiar to Ibiza audiences through appearances at Pacha and other major events.

He is also scheduled to appear during Music On’s October closing programme, meaning his New Year’s Eve performance extends an association with Carola’s event brand beyond the regular summer residency.

Music On is extending its 2026 season beyond the summer

The New Year’s Eve announcement is significant because Music On is usually most closely associated with Ibiza’s summer season.

The 2026 residency continues through October, with two separate closing parties scheduled for October 8 and 9.

The first closing night features Carola alongside Michael Bibi, Cloonee, Mason Collective and Frank Storm.

The second brings Franky Rizardo, East End Dubs, Ilario Alicante and Ale De Tuglie alongside Carola.

Instead of ending the Music On story with the October closing parties, Pacha is now bringing the brand back for one final event of the calendar year.

A New Year’s Eve tradition at Pacha continues

Pacha Ibiza has increasingly developed New Year’s Eve into a major date on its annual calendar, opening for a special celebration even after the main summer club season has ended.

The Music On takeover means the club will once again remain active through the final hours of December 31 and into the first morning of 2027.

For a destination where most major club activity is concentrated between spring and autumn, the event adds another high-profile date to Ibiza’s winter nightlife calendar.

A six-hour finale to 2026

The party is scheduled from 11:00pm until 6:00am.

That means the event will take guests from the final hours of 2026 deep into the first morning of 2027, with Music On’s tech-house and techno sound providing the soundtrack.

Pacha’s current ticket listing starts at €60 for general entry, while VIP options are also available.

Ticket prices and availability can change as different release stages sell through.

Music On brings its familiar sound into a different setting

The concept of Music On is closely associated with Ibiza’s summer club culture, where Carola and his guests take over Pacha on Friday nights.

New Year’s Eve will offer a different environment.

Rather than the repetitive weekly rhythm of a summer residency, the December 31 event is a single special occasion built around the anticipation of the calendar change.

That gives the lineup an opportunity to combine the Music On identity with the bigger atmosphere traditionally associated with New Year’s Eve.

Why the booking matters for Ibiza

The announcement is another indication that Ibiza’s relationship with clubbing is no longer limited to July and August.

Major clubs are increasingly building significant events around October closings, New Year’s Eve and other periods outside the traditional peak season.

Pacha’s decision to bring Music On back for December 31 gives international visitors and residents another reason to experience Ibiza during the quieter months.

It also reinforces the strength of the Music On brand beyond its regular summer residency.

The lineup brings several generations of club culture together

The four artists represent different stages of the international electronic music scene.

Carola is one of the longest-established figures on the bill, while Troxler has become an influential voice within modern house and techno.

Alicante represents a younger generation of internationally recognised techno artists, while Frank Storm has emerged through the newer generation of Italian electronic talent.

Together, the lineup gives the night both continuity and a contemporary edge.

From summer Fridays to New Year’s Eve

Music On’s 2026 story at Pacha will therefore stretch well beyond the regular summer residency.

The brand will complete its weekly season in October before returning for one final celebration on December 31.

That makes the New Year’s Eve takeover a bookend to a long Ibiza chapter for 2026.

And with Carola, Troxler, Alicante and Storm behind the booth, it promises to be one of the most significant electronic music events on the island as 2027 begins.

December 31 at Pacha Ibiza

Music On will take over Pacha Ibiza on Thursday, December 31, from 11:00pm until 6:00am.

The lineup features Marco Carola, Seth Troxler, Ilario Alicante and Frank Storm.

Tickets are already on sale, with general admission currently starting from €60 and VIP options available.

After a full summer of Music On Fridays and its October closing weekend, Marco Carola will return to the iconic Pacha dancefloor one more time in 2026.

This time, the final beat will lead directly into 2027.
