ANTS KICKS OFF 2026 WITH A NEW IDENTITY AND A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO MUSIC.

Over the past few days, a series of images have been circulating without explanation. Social channels went dark, rumours spread and swarms of people dressed all in black took to the streets, moving in silence. No explanation. No messaging. But it was clear to all that something was in the air.

BURN THE BLUEPRINT

This year ANTS goes back to basics and will focus on the only things that matter: the community and the music.

BACK TO WHAT MATTERS

ANTS started as a party for the people back in 2013. The real clubbers, and the workers community who power Ibiza, keeping it moving each and every season. In 2026 ANTS returns to these roots: music first, community first. Cutting through the noise, taking back the dancefloor and turning the music up. Focusing on raw sound, serious lineups and a dancefloor built on presence, not distraction. ANTS understands that its greatest strength does not lie in spectacle, but in its ethos.

MUSIC IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY

With tech house as its backbone, ANTS will double-down on its role as a platform that champions both the most respected tastemakers in the scene, alongside the DJs and producers who are breaking through right now. This commitment to pushing the next generation gives them the opportunity to showcase their sounds to an international crowd of music obsessives.

THE COLONY NEVER STOPS

The rebranding of ANTS is not a visual refresh or a passing trend. It is a cultural decision. ANTS no longer needs to prove scale through excess. Its leadership is grounded in sound, in a consolidated global community, and in cultural credibility built over time. Removing what is unnecessary allows the focus to shift on what is really important, eliminating everything that weakens the signal.

NO PROOF NEEDED

This year ANTS encourages a no-phones policy. No screens. No distractions. Just sound, sweat, and shared energy on the dancefloor, the way electronic music was meant to be experienced.

THE DANCEFLOOR IS OURS

Every Saturday, from 2 May to 3 October, ANTS returns to Ushuaïa Ibiza, reclaiming the dancefloor and turning the music up. This new era is defined by a fresh soundtrack, a renewed focus on the most exciting emerging talent in the scene, stripped back production and thousands of ravers united in sound.
