The open-air Salinas garden where Circoloco was born — planes skimming overhead, Monday all-dayers, and Ibiza's rawest house-and-techno cathedral, summer only.

The night (is it house?)

Raw underground techno, house and tech-house across three spaces — La Terrace, the Main Room and the Open Air Garden. The defining night is Circoloco on Mondays, running since 1999 and the reason most people come; in 2026 the season opens with Circoloco on 27 April and Mondays run through the summer. Thursdays host the Solid Grooves residency (dated 4 June–1 October 2026). Lineups and exact music lean by party, so check who's playing before you commit.

DOOR
Honest reality: DC10 is a seasonal, Ibiza-summer-only club (roughly late April to early October — do not turn up in winter, it's closed). It's an open-air/day-into-night venue right under the airport flight path, so expect planes passing low overhead as part of the show. There's no dress code and the door isn't a fashion-selective velvet-rope situation, but big Circoloco nights sell out and door prices run higher than advance. The "no phones" reputation is real but enforced per-party, not blanket: Solid Grooves' Thursdays run a strict no-phones policy across all 2026 shows; Circoloco's exact 2026 phone rule isn't confirmed, but keep it low and stay in the moment. Minimum age is 18 (bring photo ID).

GETTING IN
Buy in advance — Circoloco sells out. The official site (dc10ibiza.com) links tickets through DICE, and events are also on Resident Advisor (ra.co/clubs/1273). Standard Circoloco advance sits around €50, rising to roughly €74–€100+ for marquee lineups, and the door is higher still when tickets remain. Doors typically open ~16:00 (Circoloco often from ~18:00) and run to ~06:00, so it's a day-and-night session — arrive in the afternoon for the garden in daylight, pace yourself, and bring both card and some cash. Take a taxi or the Salinas/airport bus from Ibiza Town; it's minutes from the airport.

DC10 is the raw open-air club by Ibiza's airport that birthed Circoloco — and it runs summer only. If you fly in expecting a year-round venue, you'll find locked gates: this is an Ibiza-summer club, roughly late April to early October. In 2026 the season opens with Circoloco on 27 April, and Mondays carry it through the summer.

The music. Three spaces — La Terrace, the Main Room and the Open Air Garden — trade in underground techno, house and tech-house. Monday is the one that matters: Circoloco, running since 1999, is the reason DC10 is a name any serious clubber knows. Thursdays host the Solid Grooves residency (4 June–1 October 2026). Lineups swing by party, so check who's on before you commit — but the DC10 spirit is loose, sweaty, daytime-into-night house and techno with no VIP theatre.

The door & how to get in. There's no dress code and the door isn't fashion-selective, but big Circoloco nights sell out — buy in advance. The official site (dc10ibiza.com) sells through DICE, and events are also on Resident Advisor (ra.co/clubs/1273). Standard Circoloco advance sits around €50, climbing to roughly €74–€100+ for marquee lineups, with the door higher still (as of 2026). The "no phones" reputation is real but enforced per-party: Solid Grooves' Thursdays are strictly phone-free across all 2026 shows; Circoloco's exact 2026 rule isn't confirmed, so keep it low regardless.

Practical. Doors typically open around 16:00 (Circoloco often from ~18:00) and run to ~06:00 — a genuine day-and-night session. It sits in the Salinas area right under the airport flight path, so planes pass low overhead, a signature part of the open-air experience. Minimum age 18 (bring photo ID). Take a taxi or the Salinas/airport bus from Ibiza Town — it's minutes from IBZ. Bring card and cash. (Capacity is often quoted but sources disagree wildly, so we won't pin a number.)

Worth it? Who's it for. For anyone chasing the real, unpolished Ibiza — the sun-baked garden, the low-flying planes, the Monday all-dayer — DC10 is a pilgrimage, and Circoloco is one of dance music's genuine institutions. It's less magical if you want tables, bottles and a strict techno-only purity; DC10 is scrappier and more house-leaning than that. Arrive in the afternoon for the garden in daylight, pace yourself, and treat it as a marathon, not a late-night cameo.
