 Ibiza, Spain
The powers that be in Ibiza are going to force the island's many clubs to close up shop between 6am and 10am, claiming that venues that are open for events at that time have been 'causing a disturbance for residents and less nocturnal holidaymakers, ' to quote a recent article in the UK's Independent by Graham Keeley.
While San Antonio, the area of Ibiza made infamous after the Ibiza Uncovered TV series of the 90s - which highlighted what many would say was the worst side of the island's tourists - has already banned after-hours parties, now San Josep will follow suit… and that's where Space, DC10 and Bora Bora are.
For so many of Ibiza's clubbing tourists, these are the clubs that they come from all over the world to visit. Eden and Es Paradis are also in this area, both huge clubs with an equally sizable following.
This could be the 'end of an era' for Ibiza's clubbing tourists as a whole. This island invented the Balearic sound; those who spread that sound became some of the founders of the British clubbing scene - people like Danny Rampling and Paul Oakenfold, who heard Alfredo Fiorito spin (after-hours) at Amnesia, then took it from there. That's paraphrasing a whole movement that would eventually span the globe (as well as many thousands of DJs, promoters and clubbers who helped spread the gospel along the way) but let's not beat around the bush here: without after-hours clubs in Ibiza, modern clubbing as we know and love it simply would not exist.
