KETTAMA at Amnesia Ibiza: tickets for a B2B night with Josh Baker blending house, techno and rave energy

KETTAMA at Amnesia Ibiza: house, techno and rave energy on the Terraza

KETTAMA arrives at Amnesia Ibiza on August 20, 2026, as part of the You&Me night, the residency hosted throughout the summer by Josh Baker. The program starts at 23:00, and the main highlight of the night is the joint Josh Baker B2B KETTAMA set on the Terraza. Silva Bumpa, Reeshy and Phill De Janeiro & Benji King have also been announced. This means that this is not a classic concert with a predetermined set list, but a club night in which the musical direction develops through DJ sets and the mutual reaction between the performers and the dance floor.

Over the past few years, KETTAMA has grown into one of the more recognizable names of the new generation of the electronic scene. The Irish DJ and producer from Galway builds his sets at the intersections of house, techno, hard house, rave and trance, with large melodic chords, powerful vocal samples and a rhythm that rarely stays in a calm zone for long. It is precisely this combination of euphoria and physical energy that is important for understanding his performance at Amnesia.

Tickets for this event are in demand.

Why the B2B with Josh Baker is an important part of the night

The B2B designation means that Josh Baker and KETTAMA share the DJ booth and shape one set together. Such a format is not the same as two separate performances. Instead of predefined separate blocks, the musical flow is created through alternating selections, quick responses to the other DJ's moves and the search for common ground between their styles. Since the detailed timetable and the duration of individual sets have not been announced, there is no point in guessing in advance how long their B2B will last or which tracks they will play.

With the You&Me project, Josh Baker secured his first seasonal residency at Amnesia Ibiza. The series runs every Thursday from July 2 to October 1, 2026, and the August 20 night comes in the central part of that summer cycle. Baker's approach to house and tech house is focused on groove and the dance floor, while KETTAMA often brings rougher hits, rave tension and distinctly euphoric transitions into a similar framework. That is precisely why their meeting makes sense as a B2B, rather than simply placing two big names together on a poster.

KETTAMA after the album Archangel

The context of this performance is especially interesting because KETTAMA arrives after the first full album phase of his career. "Archangel", released on October 3, 2025, via Steel City Dance Discs, brought 15 tracks and demonstrated a broader range of his sound than can be reduced to a single label such as house or techno. The album features collaborations with Interplanetary Criminal, DJ HEARTSTRING, KLP, Shady Nasty, Fred again.., Prospa, Clouds, Sølv and seantommy.

Among the tracks that describe different sides of his work well are "Yosemite" with Interplanetary Criminal, "If U Want My Heart" with DJ HEARTSTRING and KLP, "Air Maxes" with Shady Nasty and Fred again.., "I Believe" with Prospa and "It Gets Better (Forever Mix)". Some are strongly focused on the impact of the dance floor, while others make greater use of melody, vocals or a trance feeling, but what they share is that KETTAMA does not treat euphoria as decoration after the drop, but as a central part of the track's structure.

In 2026, he continued with new releases. The single "Comes and Goes" was released on May 20, and a Dom Dolla remix followed in July. This shows that the August performance does not come as a retrospective of a completed album campaign. KETTAMA is still in an active phase of releases and touring, so the audience can expect a set built from his current club repertoire. Which of his own tracks, remixes or unreleased material he will include that night has not been confirmed and should not be turned in advance into a supposed set list.

Tracks that provide a good introduction to his sound

• "It Gets Better (Forever Mix)" - an example of his inclination toward large chords, vocal euphoria and rhythms made for a large dance floor.
• "Yosemite" - a collaboration with Interplanetary Criminal that combines KETTAMA's energy with British bass and garage sensibilities.
• "If U Want My Heart" - a collaboration with DJ HEARTSTRING and KLP, with a clear touch of fast, melodic trance and eurodance language.
• "Air Maxes" - a track with Shady Nasty and Fred again.. that shows how broadly KETTAMA can connect club production and vocal character.
• "Comes and Goes" - a 2026 release that offers the most direct insight into his current phase between the album, residencies and major summer performances.

Ibiza is not just a passing stop for him in 2026

KETTAMA's connection with Amnesia during 2026 goes deeper than a single guest appearance. Steel City Dance Discs, the label with which he is strongly associated, secured a nine-week residency at the club, with KETTAMA as the central name and guests from several areas of the contemporary house, techno and bass scene. His performance at the You&Me night therefore comes after a period in which he has already had a regular presence on the same dance floor.

Familiarity with the room, the audience's reactions and the way the sound works on the Terraza can influence the selection and dynamics of the set. A guest appearance within Josh Baker's residency nevertheless changes the framework: the focus is not on the Steel City program, but on a musical dialogue with the host of the You&Me series.

For an audience that already follows KETTAMA, precisely this different framework is one of the more attractive points. For visitors who are only discovering him, the B2B format with Baker can be an accessible introduction to his sound because the harder and faster moments naturally meet the house and tech house groove that defines You&Me.

It is worth securing tickets in good time.

Amnesia Terraza as part of the musical experience

Amnesia Ibiza has operated since 1976, and the 2026 season marks 50 years of the club. The venue is located in San Rafael, beside the road connecting Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni de Portmany. Inside the club, the two main rooms have different characters, and the You&Me program for this night has been announced for the Terraza.

During earlier decades, the Terraza was an open-air space, while in the early 1990s it received its recognizable glass roof. Today it combines the feeling of a large club space with natural light that becomes part of the experience toward the morning. For the music played by Josh Baker and KETTAMA, this is not an irrelevant detail: long transitions, sudden openings of melody and shifts in energy have a much stronger effect when the entire room can move as one mass and the DJ booth remains visually connected to the dance floor.

Amnesia has also renewed its sound system in recent seasons. The club states that the project on the Terraza was developed with KV2 Audio and local audio specialists, with calibration of different areas of the space so that bass, mids and high frequencies remain clear even during long nighttime programs. This is a more concrete advantage than merely having a "loud" system: KETTAMA's music often uses a heavy kick, broad synthesizer chords and vocal layers at the same time, so the separation of these elements determines how powerful the set will sound and how much it will merely sound compressed.

What is useful to know before arriving

• Amnesia is located at Carretera Ibiza a San Antonio, km 5, in San Rafael.
• The club states that it is about 8 km from Sant Antoni de Portmany and about 9 km from Ibiza Town.
• For this You&Me night, the doors open at 23:00.
• An original identification document is required at the entrance.
• There is general parking next to the club, and a taxi rank is located by the main entrance.
• The nighttime Discobus L3 bus line connects Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni de Portmany with a stop at Amnesia during the summer season.

Getting there from Ibiza Town or Sant Antoni

Amnesia's location in the interior of the island means that arrival should be planned before the night begins. The club is not within walking distance of the main coastal areas, but it is situated beside one of the most important road links between Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni de Portmany. A taxi is a simple option for smaller groups, and the rank for the return journey is located next to the club.

Discobus is a practical alternative for visitors who do not want to drive. Ibiza Bus publishes nighttime routes for the 2026 season, and the L3 connects the two main urban centers with Amnesia. Since summer timetables can be adjusted, departure times should be checked on the day of the event instead of relying on old schedules saved from previous seasons.

If arriving by car, the club has general parking. For a night that starts at 23:00, it is more important to arrange a safe return in advance than to try to improvise after several hours of programming. Visitors who are driving should choose in advance a person who will not consume alcohol.

What kind of audience this night may attract

This is a program for several different groups of listeners. Long-time KETTAMA followers will have the opportunity to hear him in a joint set with Josh Baker instead of in a standalone festival slot. Fans of the You&Me concept will get a guest who can push the night toward a harder, faster and more euphoric edge. Visitors whose starting point is UK garage, hard house, trance or contemporary tech house can meet on the same dance floor without the night needing to remain tied to only one subgenre.

It is also important that the program is not structured like a concert in which the audience waits for several well-known hits in a particular order. A DJ night has a different logic. A recognizable track may come early, late or not appear at all; the same applies to the artists' own productions. The focus is on the continuity of the set and the energy of the room. KETTAMA's reputation is built precisely on the ability to place emotional, almost anthemic moments inside sets that remain physically intense.

That is why the best way to prepare is to become familiar with several key releases, but not to build expectations around an exact list of tracks. "Archangel" gives a broader picture of his range as an artist, while "Comes and Goes" shows where he is in 2026. After that, it makes more sense to let the B2B format do what makes it interesting in the first place: create a version of the set that exists only in that combination of performers and audience.

A plan for the night without unnecessary complications

Arriving a little before the program begins leaves enough time to enter, get oriented in the club and find the Terraza without rushing. If the goal is to follow the entire You&Me night, there is no reason to time arrival only around KETTAMA because the precise timetable for the individual artists has not been announced. Arriving earlier also makes it possible to hear how the musical intensity develops before the main moments of the program.

For a stay of several hours in the club, it is more practical to think of it as a long night of dancing rather than a short concert: light clothing suitable for a club environment, footwear in which it is possible to stand and dance, enough water throughout the night and transportation back arranged in advance. In a large space such as Amnesia, it is useful to agree on a meeting point with the group in case you get separated.

Ticket sales for this event are currently underway.

KETTAMA's performance on August 20 is interesting precisely because it brings together several current strands of his career: the period after the album "Archangel", new releases from 2026, his strong connection with Amnesia through Steel City Dance Discs and a B2B with Josh Baker within the separate You&Me residency. On the Terraza, therefore, it is not only two DJs who meet, but also two ideas of a club night - Baker's groove and KETTAMA's inclination toward harder, euphoric escalation.
