It’s not every day that Ibiza gets hijacked by Highland rave culture—but at Eden this month, the pipes are calling from across the North Sea.
A new weeklong series at the legendary San Antonio nightclub is set to pay homage to Scotland’s dance scene, blending whisky-soaked mischief with heavyweight club lineups. Under the bold banner of “no Scotland, no party,” the event runs from Sunday 27 April through Wednesday 30 April, turning Eden into a four-day Caledonian carnival.
The initiative, dubbed Scottish Week, is more than just flag-waving. It’s a curated showcase of Scottish and Celtic club culture, featuring artists, promoters, and party brands that have dominated UK nights—and are now ready to export their chaos to Ibiza’s golden shores.
Sunday Starts With a Belfast-Glasgow Alliance
The fireworks begin Sunday night with Outset Ibiza returning to Eden for an early-season warm-up, tagging in fellow party anarchists PRTY for backup. Together, they’ve assembled a fierce lineup topped by Irish hard techno icon blk., whose no-frills, no-mercy sound has become synonymous with modern rave.
He’s joined by Glasgow’s own Jezza & Jod, Negativ, and Shlømo, building a night of unruly rave energy that skews toward heavy drops, aggressive build-ups, and absolute crowd mayhem.
This isn’t a full launch—Outset’s proper residency begins in June—but the tone is set. Bring earplugs and expect lasers.
Mondays Are for Mayhem: Daire Returns With Nothing But Trouble
Barely a day later, Irish DJ and party starter Daire steps back into Eden after last season’s SoundCloud Presents residency. This time, he’s flying solo with his own brand: Nothing But Trouble, a series of twelve Monday night parties that promises full-tilt energy and unfiltered vibes.
His opening night on Monday 28 April includes rising trance and techno figures Ben Gerrans, Mondello, and DON, all joining Daire for a night that will define the new season’s early pace.
Don’t expect moody minimalism. This is peak-hour chaos, built for the dancefloor and fuelled by BPMs.
Tuesday and Wednesday Belong to Glasgow
From the banks of the River Clyde to the west coast of Ibiza, Through The Roof and Elevate—two powerhouse Glasgow promoters—bring a distinctly Scottish flavour to Eden’s next two nights.
Tuesday 29 April
UK selectors Gaskin and Ellia Jaya headline Tuesday’s lineup, embracing the back-to-back format that’s become a hallmark of Scottish party culture.
But the real spectacle may come earlier, with a triple-threat set from Cameron Stalker b2b Jagsy b2b Vass, followed by Groove FM b2b Mix Mafia and Red Buddha b2b Benny—a parade of up-and-comers showing just how deep Scotland’s talent pool runs.
It’s not just a night. It’s a statement.
Wednesday 30 April
For the final evening, things get intimate in Eden’s Next sideroom—perfect for the post-Highlander warm-up (yes, there’s a mandatory stop at The Highlander, San Antonio’s most infamous Scottish pub).
Behind the decks: Dan Fresco, Sweeney, Groove FM, Off Record, and Strictly Different—a quieter lineup in theory, but don’t count on a gentle finish.
If anything, it’s the calm after the storm… or just the second storm.
Ibiza’s Scottish Invasion: What It Means
This isn’t just a themed week. It’s a cultural moment.
Scotland’s underground club scene has thrived in recent years, particularly in cities like Glasgow, where rough-around-the-edges venues have incubated raw talent and no-nonsense production. From the hard techno resurgence to melodic trance experimentation, Scottish DJs have taken their no-frills approach global—and now, Ibiza is listening.
By dedicating a full week to Scottish and Celtic-inspired programming, Eden isn’t just chasing a trend—it’s co-signing a movement.
It’s also tapping into a new demographic. Scottish tourism to Ibiza remains strong, with direct flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow often full through spring and summer. And as those passengers touch down in the last week of April, Eden is giving them a ready-made home.
Expect kilts. Expect chants. Expect a lot of “here we, here we, here we f***ing go.”
