David Guetta and Galactic Circus at - in Ibiza
David Guetta returns to on Friday, August 28, 2026, as part of the "David Guetta Presents Galactic Circus" residency. Doors open at 11:30 PM, and the program runs until the club closes. This is not a classic concert with a pre-announced set list and a fixed duration for the main performance, but a major club night in which Guetta's set fits into the broader program of one of Ibiza's largest electronic music venues.
For this date, David Guetta, Miss Monique and Goodboys are confirmed in the Main Room. discoliscious performs in The Bunker, while paul reynolds is listed for Wild Comet. The combination in the main room gives the evening an interesting musical range: Guetta's blend of house and big dance choruses, Miss Monique's more progressive and melodic sound, and Goodboys' vocal house identity.
Galactic Circus is one of the key residencies of -'s summer season. Guetta's Fridays throughout 2026 extend through the summer until the beginning of October, so the late-August date falls in the middle of a period when Ibiza has a very packed schedule of international DJ residencies and festival appearances.
It is worth securing tickets in good time.
Guetta between global hits and the current club sound
David Guetta has been operating at the intersection of club electronica and global pop for more than two decades. His career has gone through several clearly recognizable phases: house that established him in European club culture, the explosion of EDM in the early 2010s, and the current period in which he is once again strongly combining house, progressive house and future rave.
Because of this, his audience is not tied to just one generation. Some come for songs such as "When Love Takes Over", "Memories" and "Sexy Bitch", others for the period marked by the hits "Titanium" and "Without You", while younger audiences discovered him through newer projects such as "I'm Good (Blue)" and numerous collaborations from the past few years.
Guetta's 2026 is particularly active. In June, he performed at the Stade de France in Paris, where he marked 25 years of hits through a large-scale concert format. Reports from those performances mention songs such as "Titanium", "Memories" and "Where Them Girls At", alongside newer material from his current phase. This shows the breadth of the repertoire available to him today, but it does not mean that the same selection of songs will be performed in Ibiza. The set list for August 28 has not been announced in advance.
During 2026, he also continued releasing new music. With MORTEN, he released "La Révolution" in July, continuing their future rave collaboration. In May, he released "PWR" with Marten Hørger, the Men Machine project and SNAP!. The spring part of the year also brought "Walked Away" with Hypaton, "Awake Tonight" with AFROJACK and Sia, and the pop-dance collaboration "Save Me Tonight" with Jennifer Lopez.
Such a run of releases is important for the context of Galactic Circus. Guetta's current performance is not merely a retrospective of his greatest hits. His current catalog continues to be filled with productions intended for clubs, festivals and large sound systems, so older recognizable choruses can meet completely new material, remixes and harder club transitions.
What is Galactic Circus
Galactic Circus is not merely the name of the evening, but a separate production concept developed around Guetta's residency at -. The venue describes it as a combination of music, stage design, lighting and performances taking place around and above the dance floor.
The published description of the residency includes structures that transform above the audience, strongly integrated lighting and performers appearing from the ceiling space. This expands the focus beyond the DJ booth itself. The audience does not merely watch the performer but finds itself inside a production that uses the dimensions of the entire main room.
It is important to separate the confirmed elements of the concept from the details of an individual evening. For August 28, the exact performance order, the duration of Guetta's set, the precise set list and any additional unannounced guests have not been published. It should therefore not be assumed that a performer from one of Guetta's previous concerts will appear or that a particular song will definitely be part of the program.
Musically, lists house, progressive house and tech house for Guetta's Fridays. This gives a good picture of the expected direction. His major vocal hits are part of his identity, but the club environment allows for longer transitions, instrumental sections and more contemporary house material that often has less room in radio-oriented performances.
Miss Monique brings progressive and melodic energy
Miss Monique is a Ukrainian DJ, producer and owner of the Siona Records label. Her sound is strongly associated with progressive house and the melodic house and techno scene, and she has spent years building an international audience through carefully produced online sets, club performances and major festivals.
In 2026, she is in the second season of her Ibiza residency, and that same year she also performed at major international festivals. Her current releases include "Blue Moon Factory", "Rajada" with Agents of Time, "Hot Sauce" with Kapuchon and GLZ, and "Ghosts" with Nicolas Taboada and FRANCO BA.
In the context of Guetta's evening, she brings a different kind of dynamic. Instead of relying primarily on instantly recognizable vocal choruses, her sets often build tension through progression, melody and rhythmic layers. This is why this date is also interesting to audiences who normally follow melodic techno and progressive house, not only Guetta's mainstream hits.
For visitors who have not yet heard Miss Monique live, a performance in the Main Room provides an opportunity to hear how her more precise, progressive approach works in a venue with the dimensions of -.
Goodboys and the vocal side of modern house
Goodboys are a London dance duo known for vocal hooks and collaborations that have successfully connected house music with a large pop audience. Their best-known early collaboration is "Piece Of Your Heart" with MEDUZA, and they are also recognizable for "Lose Control", likewise created with MEDUZA and Becky Hill.
Over the years, their catalog has included collaborations with names such as Tiësto, Vintage Culture, Armin van Buuren and ACRAZE. This is precisely why they fit well into a program with Guetta: it is music that remains firmly connected to house while also relying on vocals that audiences can quickly recognize.
The performance order of David Guetta, Miss Monique and Goodboys has not been published. A visitor who wants to hear the entire Main Room program should therefore not plan their arrival around an assumed time slot for an individual performer.
- a club venue on an arena scale
is located in San Rafael in Ibiza, between Ibiza Town and San Antonio. The venue opened in 2025 on the site of the former Privilege, and DJ Mag lists a capacity of 10,000 people. Its dimensions therefore significantly exceed those of a typical nightclub.
itself describes the concept as combining the "heart of a club" with the "scale and ambition of an arena". The main dance floor is designed for large-capacity events, while the roof structure can accommodate large production systems. Modular stage-design elements and transparent screens make it possible to change the appearance of the venue between different residencies.
Special emphasis has also been placed on sound. According to the venue's description, the acoustics and system distribution were designed so that the experience remains consistent in different parts of the large room. Lighting is divided into functional, architectural and performance layers that are centrally controlled.
This is particularly important for Galactic Circus because its stage design uses the full height and width of the Main Room. Standing close to the DJ booth provides a stronger sense of the crowd and contact with the performer, while from more distant parts it is easier to take in the entire stage design and the movement of elements above the dance floor.
- Location: Urbanización San Rafael, s/n, 07816 San Rafael, Balearic Islands, Spain.
- Doors for Guetta's Fridays open at 11:30 PM.
- The age limit is 18+.
- The venue can be reached by shuttle, public bus, taxi or private car.

Places disappear quickly.
How to get to -
Its location in San Rafael means that is not a club that most visitors can simply walk to from the main tourist areas along the coast. An organized shuttle to the venue departs from San Antonio and Playa d'en Bossa, while public bus, taxi and private car are listed as additional options.
The shuttle service uses a specially arranged "Drop-Off Zone" directly in front of the entrance arches. Taxis arriving at the venue use the same zone. For departures, a taxi rank is also provided by VIP Parking 1, which is practical after the nighttime program ends.
Visitors arriving by private car can use the general parking area. lists it in its practical information as parking open to the public and free of charge.
Since this is a major nighttime event, it is useful to organize the return journey in advance as well. This is especially true for guests staying in Ibiza Town, San Antonio or Playa d'en Bossa. Public and night transport schedules may change during the season, so it is worth checking them again shortly before the event.
Entry rules that can determine whether you get in
An age limit of 18+ is listed for Galactic Circus, and also publishes specific rules regarding clothing and items brought into the venue.
Flip-flops, swimsuits, beachwear, bare torsos and jerseys of football or other sports teams are not allowed. Large bags and backpacks are also listed among prohibited items.
This is important for visitors who spend the day at the beach and plan to go straight to the club. Changing clothes before arrival reduces the possibility of problems at the entrance. Formal evening wear is not necessarily required, but typical beachwear does not comply with the venue's published rules.
Security checks are carried out by - staff, and final access depends on compliance with the venue's rules.
Who this evening is particularly interesting for
For long-time David Guetta fans, the main attraction is the opportunity to hear his music in an all-night club context rather than only through a shorter festival performance. His catalog is large enough to connect different phases of dance music, while numerous releases from 2026 confirm that he does not rely solely on nostalgia.
For a broader audience that does not follow the electronic scene in detail, the evening offers several recognizable entry points: Guetta's global hits, Goodboys and their major vocal collaborations, and the visually developed Galactic Circus.
For fans of progressive house and melodic techno, Miss Monique adds extra weight. Her performance creates a bridge between Guetta's large crossover sound and the deeper, more progressive side of the contemporary electronic scene.
The program is not limited to the Main Room either. The Bunker and Wild Comet are part of the published lineup for the evening, so throughout the night it is possible to move between different spaces and musical approaches.
Ibiza in Guetta's current career phase
Guetta's 2026 shows how many different formats he can now connect within a single concert year. At the Stade de France, he performed in a distinctly large stadium setting, while Galactic Circus allows him to return to the club-residency model in which the program develops from week to week.
Those two concepts do not use the same production and should not be equated. Together, however, they clearly demonstrate the range of his current position: the same artist can build a stadium show around decades of hits and then use house, progressive house and tech house in Ibiza within a multi-hour club night.
During August, MORTEN, Marten Hørger, Tchami B2B Malaa, Tommy Gold, MEDUZA, Loofy, Miss Monique and Goodboys were announced alongside Guetta for different Fridays. Each date therefore has a somewhat different musical balance. The August 28 date particularly emphasizes the melodic/progressive component through Miss Monique and the vocal house crossover through Goodboys.
Ticket sales for this event are underway.
Practical plan for the night
The simplest approach is to arrange transportation in both directions in advance, arrive dressed in accordance with the venue's rules and not rely on unofficial artist schedules. Doors open at 11:30 PM, but the exact times of Guetta's, Miss Monique's or Goodboys' sets have not been published.
