Planning a David Guetta concert at Ushuaïa Ibiza? F*** ME I'M FAMOUS! on 31 August brings Guetta, Alesso, Paul Reynolds and MistaJam to Sant Josep de sa Talaia. Get ready for an open-air dance event and plan your ticket purchase for a night of house, progressive house and major hits
David Guetta brings F* ME I'M FAMOUS! back to the open-air stage at Ushuaïa Ibiza
David Guetta takes over Ushuaïa Ibiza in Playa d'en Bossa on August 31, 2026, with another edition of his long-running F* ME I'M FAMOUS! residency. The program starts at 17:00, and joining Guetta that Monday are the announced Alesso, Paul Reynolds and MistaJam. This gives the end of August a line-up that brings together two generations of major festival house: Guetta's remarkably broad pop-EDM catalogue and Alesso's melodic progressive house.
This is not a classic concert where the audience waits for the performer, follows a predetermined sequence of songs and goes home after the final encore. F* ME I'M FAMOUS! operates as a multi-hour open-air club program in which performers rotate throughout the afternoon and evening, while the venue gradually transforms from a sunny daytime party into a large dance floor. This transition from day to night is precisely one of the reasons why Ushuaïa Ibiza has become a distinctive destination for electronic music.
Tickets for this event are in demand.
Why David Guetta is still at the center of the global dance scene
Guetta's catalogue has long since expanded beyond the boundaries of the club audience. "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland was one of the key moments in his breakthrough into the global pop market, followed by "Memories" with Kid Cudi, "Titanium" with Sia, "Without You" with Usher and a series of other songs that combined festival production with huge pop choruses. His more recent phase brought another massive wave through "I'm Good (Blue)" with Bebe Rexha, as well as collaborations that demonstrate how Guetta continues to move between radio, streaming and major stages.
In 2025, he once again took first place in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, for the fifth time in his career. That result is not merely a reminder of his longevity. DJ Mag also highlighted his exceptionally high level of production activity, with more than one single per month during the preceding period and collaborations spanning pop and various house subgenres.
The current phase of his career continues throughout 2026. "Save Me Tonight" with Jennifer Lopez was released in March, while "Run Run River (Angels Above Me)" with Alok and Stick Figure arrived at the beginning of June. The latter entered the top ten of the UK singles sales and downloads charts. Guetta also appeared on the track "DNA (More Than A Game)" associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026 project. In other words, the Ibiza audience is not coming to see an artist living solely off a catalogue from the previous decade, but a DJ who constantly adds new music to an already highly recognizable repertoire.
What can be expected from the musical direction of the evening
Ushuaïa Ibiza describes Guetta's Mondays through house, progressive house and big room. That explains the basic character of the evening well: powerful build-ups, huge vocal choruses, clear transitions toward the peaks of the set and a rhythm tailored to a large open-air venue. Guetta also has enough material to vary the intensity without completely leaving the dance framework.
His performances often connect three layers of his catalogue:
- globally known songs such as "Titanium", "Memories", "When Love Takes Over" and "I'm Good (Blue)"
- newer pop and dance collaborations that keep the set current
- harder or more club-oriented house sections that give the rhythm more space than the vocals
This is not an announcement of the exact set list. The song order for August 31 has not been announced in advance, and DJ sets can change depending on the audience, guests and the particular moment of the evening. Nevertheless, Guetta's previous work and the residency's musical profile provide a sufficiently clear framework: the audience can expect an accessible dance sound designed for a large venue, but not necessarily just a sequence of radio singles.
The production of F* ME I'M FAMOUS! is designed for a large open-air stage, with extensive visual surfaces and stage elements that accompany the music. It is important to distinguish the general format of the residency from the individual details of a particular evening. There is no reason to assume in advance any specific effects, guest appearances or surprises that have not been announced for that date.
Alesso is an important reason why this date stands out
Alesso has been confirmed alongside Guetta for August 31, one of the most recognizable creators of melodic progressive house that helped define the modern festival scene. His major moments include "If I Lose Myself", "Under Control" and other productions from the period when emotional melodies, huge synths and pop vocals became the central language of the main EDM stages.
Alesso and Guetta are not identical artists, but their audiences overlap strongly. Guetta is broader in the pop direction and often moves more quickly between familiar vocals and club ideas, while Alesso traditionally builds longer melodic arcs and emphasizes euphoric progressive house. On the same program, this creates a natural continuity without the feeling that every performer is repeating the same formula.
The line-up is completed by Paul Reynolds and MistaJam. Their presence is important because F* ME I'M FAMOUS! is not designed merely as one main set, but as an all-day program. A visitor who arrives earlier gets a gradual build-up of energy rather than simply waiting around for the headliner.
It is worth securing tickets in good time.
Ushuaïa Ibiza is part of the experience itself, not just an address
Ushuaïa Ibiza is located in Playa d'en Bossa, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia. It is an open-air venue whose main stage is positioned next to a large outdoor dance area. The independent guide Ibiza Spotlight lists a capacity of around 7,000 people, which explains why the experience feels more like a compact festival than a small club.
The open-air format also changes the way the music feels. During the earlier part of the program, the audience is under daylight, while later the visuals and lighting become more prominent. The sound is tailored to a large dance floor and electronic music rather than the acoustics of an enclosed concert hall. Aircraft approaching the nearby airport often pass over the Playa d'en Bossa area, which has become one of the characteristic sights of this location.
The venue is large, but it is not a stadium. This means that the DJ is physically closer to a larger portion of the audience than at enormous festival grounds, although the sense of proximity will depend on the position on the dance floor and the density of the crowd. If the goal is to be as close as possible to the main stage, arriving earlier has a practical advantage. If having more room to dance and moving more easily toward the bars is more important, the outer sections may be more comfortable.
Practical information before arrival
The venue's address is Ctra. Platja d'en Bossa, S/N, 07817 Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Islas Baleares. For August 31, the program is listed as starting at 17:00. Ushuaïa Ibiza indicates an approximate finishing time of around 23:00 for most of its events, with the note that times may change. For that reason, it is best to organize transportation so that it does not depend on the final set ending at an exact minute.
The location can be reached by bus, taxi or car. There is a taxi rank next to the venue, and paid public parking is available nearby. Since Playa d'en Bossa is one of Ibiza's busiest entertainment areas during the summer season, arriving at the last moment can mean spending more time in traffic and facing larger queues at the entrance.
Before setting off, it is useful to check:
- whether the ticket is valid for entry during the time window stated on it
- whether you have an original photo identification document
- whether the bag is small enough to comply with the entry rules
- whether you have a plan for returning after the program ends
- whether your clothing complies with the venue's rules
Age limit, documents, bags and entry rules
Entry to Ushuaïa Ibiza is permitted for people aged 18 and over. A valid original photo identification document is required. For European citizens, an identity card or passport is accepted, while visitors from outside Europe are required to present a passport. Photographs and copies of documents are not substitutes for the original.
The venue has no cloakroom or lockers. Larger bags, backpacks and luggage are not permitted, so it is practical to arrive with minimal belongings. This is particularly important for travelers arriving on the island on the same day: a suitcase is not something you should expect to be able to bring into the event.
After leaving, there is no unrestricted re-entry with the same ticket. If you want to stay until the later part of the program, plan meals, rest and other commitments before entering. Inside the venue, there are quieter areas where it is possible to take a break from the dance floor.
The dress code excludes flip-flops, tank tops and swimwear, and sports team jerseys and ideological clothing that may cause offense are also not permitted. Since the event is outdoors and starts in the afternoon, lightweight clothing suitable for the heat is useful, but it must comply with these rules.
Who will find this concert day particularly interesting
The audience that will get the most from it is one that enjoys large-scale, vocal-oriented electronic music and wants to hear hits they recognize after only a few beats. Guetta is a rare artist whose audience consists of very different groups: from people who have followed him since the era of "When Love Takes Over" and "Memories" to younger visitors who discovered him through "I'm Good (Blue)" and more recent collaborations.
The date is particularly interesting for progressive house fans because of Alesso. If a more melodic, emotional festival sound matters to you, his name gives the evening additional weight. On the other hand, those looking for underground techno, minimal or highly experimental electronic music will probably find a more precise musical fit at other Ibiza events.
How to make the most of the afternoon and evening
If you want to experience the entire arc of the program, arriving closer to opening makes more sense than entering immediately before the main name. The early hours offer more space, easier orientation and an opportunity to hear Paul Reynolds and MistaJam in the context in which the energy is only beginning to build. Later, as the venue fills up, the focus naturally shifts toward the bigger names and the more intense part of the program.
For visitors who are traveling, Playa d'en Bossa makes it possible to organize the day without long transfers between the beach, accommodation and the event venue. Nevertheless, summer crowds should be taken into account. It is better to decide in advance how you are arriving and how you are returning than to work it out at the moment when thousands of people are leaving the same venue.
Ticket sales for this event are underway.
The most important things before setting off
For August 31, the key elements are known: David Guetta leads F* ME I'M FAMOUS! at Ushuaïa Ibiza, the program starts at 17:00, and the announced line-up consists of David Guetta, Alesso, Paul Reynolds and MistaJam. You should not expect an advance-published set list or assume guests who have not been announced.
The best plan is simple: arrive with an original identification document, without a large bag, wearing clothing that complies with the entry rules and with transportation arranged in advance. If you want to experience the full character of the residency, do not view the event merely as an individual Guetta performance. Its value lies precisely in the transition from afternoon open-air house toward the evening climax, with Alesso as a particularly strong addition to this date.
