elrow Ibiza

elrow launched its 2025 Ibiza season on Saturday 8th June with the opening night of its new residency at [UNVRS], debuting its latest theme, Nowmads: New World. Marking a move from past homes like Amnesia and Ushuaïa, this summer sees elrow take over Ibiza’s newest venue with 18 Saturday events scheduled through October.

A New Chapter at [UNVRS]

[UNVRS], opened earlier this season by The Night League, is fast positioning itself as a venue focused on immersive, tech-led experiences. For elrow, the move offers a chance to develop its creative production within a venue built for scale and flexibility.

Juan Arnau, CEO and co-founder of elrow, described the transition as “a step into more immersive, more narrative, and more ambitious artistic proposals.” The new collaboration with [UNVRS] is part of elrow’s wider move into what it calls “elrow 2.0”—a concept aimed at expanding beyond traditional party formats through integrated storytelling and large-scale visual design.

Nowmads: New World – Opening Concept

The opening night showcased the Nowmads: New World theme, developed by elrow’s in-house creative team. The production blended tribal, futuristic and surreal visual elements across the venue’s modular space, supported by over 100 performers and 200 hand-made costumes. Key features included large-scale moving structures, immersive 360º visuals, and choreographed stage interventions.

Cruz Arnau, Brand Steward and co-founder of elrow, noted: “The essence is still about making people have a great time—but with tools we’ve never had access to before.”

Lineup Highlights

The music reflected the visual energy of the night, with a lineup featuring Bastian Bux, Franky Rizardo, Kölsch, and Ilario Alicante.

• Bastian Bux opened the room with a tightly crafted set built around tension and groove.
• Rizardo and Kölsch brought a mix of rolling house and emotive techno, keeping the room dynamic without leaning into excess.
• Ilario Alicante closed with a focused performance that balanced melodic moments with club-driven intensity.

The overall programming kept the musical direction in line with elrow’s identity—accessible, high-energy, and geared toward large dancefloors—without overshadowing the production.

Looking Ahead

The residency continues every Saturday until October 4th, with upcoming shows featuring themes including Hallucinarium (by Alex & Allyson Grey) and Neo Kaos Garden (by Okuda San Miguel), as well as a third yet-to-be-revealed concept.

As Ibiza’s season unfolds, [UNVRS] and elrow’s partnership brings a new format to the island’s weekly calendar—one focused as much on visual environment and audience participation as it is on sound.

elrow at [UNVRS] runs every Saturday through October. Full listings available on the elrow and [UNVRS] websites. Listen to Ibiza Live Radio for regular updates, guest mixes and live recordings throughout the 2025 season.
