Ibiza on your own, $hit or great?

It is definitely doable. Be prepared to have to stick your neck out if you want to meet new people etc. It is really really expensive though. A lot of the best clubs are geared around group pricing. Like they charge 2,000 grand for these tables with drinks deals. Champagne, bottles of vodka etc. They are a massive rip off, but they are geared around a private boothe for say no more than 10 people. It is roughly 200 a head + your entry. It sounds pricey but if you want to hear Carl Cox etc that's what they are charging. People literally are travelling from all over the world now. Be prepared to have to fork out if you want to go to the bigger nights.

You don't need to spend more than 4 nights or 5 days there now either. Believe me you will have had enough after a few nights. There is only so much table dancing you can do at 10 in the morning, it is great for the first couple of nights... try to get out of there for a few days before you head home, it does help.

You don't have to go to Ibiza to have a mad one either. I was on my own in Majorca a few years ago. Nothing like the scene in Ibiza but they have some decent clubs etc. Don't bother with Magaluf, it is a fooooking British Council estate, not worth it, the trouble will find you. If you are going out in Majorca stick to Las Palmas the capital. There is a decent local dance scene there, all nighters etc. Nothing like Ibiza but depending on how you get on you could hook up with a party crowd, but please please please avoid Magaluf. I am not afraid of trouble, but it is full of scumbags, I am talking pissed up British Knackers from Portsmouth or Brentford, gangs of them etc, no fun if you get in their way, at all, especially when it gets bright in the morning etc, it can get nasty. Guys running out of their € 50 bags etc , you get the picture. Be careful for this in Ibiza also, a lot of coke going around and it can get messy after 2 all nighters in a row, especially if you are on your own. No one is going to give a fúck about you etc so you need to watch your own back.

Think outside of the box a little, no pun intended:) I mean there are a lot of really cool dance festivals all over Europe the next month. Richie Hawtin is playing in Budapest on Saturday night at their big dance festival... The point I am making is that there are better options than Ibiza out there, especially at the prices they are charging.

In fairness I was probably slightly unfair to the good people of Portsmouth and Brentford. I have met loads of really sound English ravers in my time, they are great craic when they get going and always good fun.

What I was saying about Magaluf is that it is a fúcking kip and it does attract gangs of chunts, especially lager louts who wouldn't think twice about dancing on your head for laugh at 9.30 on a Tuesday morning, just saying, it is the last thing you want when your out of your barney for a few nights.

Ibiza is great fun, but be prepared to spend the money to really enjoy yourself. You can easily drop a couple of grand there for a trip as short as four nights. Whatever you do I hope you have a great laugh and enjoy yourself.

Who is the DJ for starters?

Go for it. She is playing 03 September at Resistance. Same night as Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed etc. That sounds like a total banger, only € 60.

It is a Tuesday night so if your doing a four nighter you will get nice rates. I think it is in Privilege nightclub which is bang between San Antonio and Ibiza town, so you basically stay in either.

Should be a blast, enjoy.

bit of a difference in Ibiza and Belfast:)

You can go swimming in Dundonald in the morning mind you. Don't forget your cap and all.

Custom house square 5000 capacity and it sold out too. Wasn't there myself, but a few friends said it was really good. Bicep & Kink played there as well the same week and Four Tet & Barely Legal the week after. Belfast > Dublin

Are there regular club nights in Belfast and where is a good spot for free staters' to go out if we end up there for a night out?
