Two exclusive shows on June 14 and 21 designed to redefine the live experience through presence, emotion and collective energy
17 April 2026 – Ibiza, Spain | Ushuaïa Ibiza continues to reinforce its global positioning this summer with the world premiere of a brand-new concept led by J Balvin and DJ Snake, two of the most influential and far-reaching artists in today’s global music landscape. On Sundays June 14 and June 21, the iconic open-air stage will host two exclusive shows that go beyond a standard performance, revolutionising the live experience at its core.
The project begins with an open question. In a visual piece featuring both artists, J Balvin and DJ Snake are seen searching for the elusive inspiration, the perfect name for this new music experience. The conclusion is clear: this cannot feel like just another date on the calendar. It has to create that sense of “I need to be there,” not because of who’s on the lineup, but because of what’s happening.
This starting point shapes a concept that deliberately moves away from the traditional lineup-driven model. Instead, it proposes a return to the essence of the dancefloor: presence, energy, connection, freedom and sensuality, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. A shift back to emotion over overexposure, to lived experience over documentation. A moment that doesn’t repeat.
The scale of the project is reflected in the stature of its protagonists. J Balvin, a defining figure in global music and one of the most streamed artists in the world, has amassed over 100 international awards, achieved a record 40 No.1 singles on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart, and played a key role in taking reggaeton to a global audience. Since his breakthrough in 2014 with “6 AM,” he has led the international expansion of Spanish-language urban music with hits like “Mi Gente” and collaborations with artists such as Beyoncé, Cardi B and DJ Snake himself. With a massive digital footprint and one of the widest global reaches in music today, the Colombian artist stands as a true cultural ambassador connecting audiences worldwide.
DJ Snake, meanwhile, represents the evolution of the electronic artist on a global scale. With over 50 million monthly listeners and more than 40 billion streams, the French producer has built a cross-genre catalog that defines contemporary sound. Known for global hits such as “Lean On,” “Taki Taki” and “Let Me Love You,” he has collaborated with leading names including Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Travis Scott and Jung Kook, shaping a sound that bridges electronic music, hip-hop, trap and pop. Over the course of his career, he has received multiple international awards and made a rare transition from the French underground scene to the world’s biggest stages, selling out stadiums such as Stade de France.
Together, they form one of the most powerful collaborations in today’s global music landscape, connecting two cultural worlds with massive international impact. Following their recent appearance together during Miami Music Week, at Ultra Music Festival Miami, this Ushuaïa Ibiza premiere builds on that momentum, taking their creative chemistry into a completely new format. This is set to become one of the defining moments of the summer at a venue where “Where Music Meets Magic” comes to life through collective emotion.
