Reclaim The Dancefloor: Inside the Theme Shaping IMS Ibiza 2026

January 22, 2026

The theme of IMS Ibiza 2026 is Reclaim The Dancefloor, a response to a pivotal moment for the global electronic music community, as its culture and foundations are increasingly shaped by forces beyond the dancefloor.

As private investment, consolidation, the acceleration of AI, shifting audience behaviours, and rapid digital innovation redefine how music is created, distributed, experienced, and monetised, IMS Ibiza will bring together artists, industry leaders, and cultural custodians to examine what is being gained, what is being lost, and what must be protected.

Across the Summit, the programme will explore how the values that once defined electronic music can survive scale without dilution, how digital distraction is reshaping the shared rituals of the dancefloor, and how the community can reclaim agency over its culture in an ever-evolving industry.

As always, IMS Ibiza 2026 is being built as an ambitious and carefully curated programme, shaped by the conversations the industry needs to be having right now. With each edition, demand continues to grow, and 2026 is no exception. Delegate badge prices are set to increase as the Summit nears and official partner hotels are already seeing rooms booking up. Those planning to join the global electronic music community in Ibiza this April are encouraged to secure their place early, as availability across badges and accommodation is expected to sell out as the summit approaches.

If you or someone you know reflects the diversity, creativity, and responsibility of our global electronic music community, and should be part of shaping this conversation on the IMS Ibiza 2026 stage, we want to hear from you.
