DEFECTED returns to Pacha Ibiza with new Thursday residency
By Alexandre Trochut
After a 13-year hiatus, Defected is making a triumphant return to Pacha Ibiza for an electrifying 22-week residency in 2025. Following a standout season at Ushuaïa Ibiza in 2024—celebrating their 25th anniversary—the iconic house music label is shifting gears from daytime festival vibes to late-night clubbing adventures at one of the world’s most legendary venues.
Pacha’s heritage and passion perfectly align with Defected’s ethos, and we’re excited to return to this world-renowned venue. Ibiza has always been special to us, and this next chapter promises to be extraordinary.

A Full-Circle Moment for Defected & Pacha
Defected first called Pacha home from 2005 to 2012, delivering some of the island’s most unforgettable house music nights. Now, in 2025, they return to build on this legacy, bringing together seasoned residents, rising talents, and global superstars to celebrate house music in all its forms.
The full line-up is yet to be announced, but expect a dynamic mix of artists curated with Defected’s signature commitment to inclusivity and innovation. Get ready for a summer of pure house music magic—this is one Ibiza residency you won’t want to miss.
The return of Defected to Pacha Ibiza signals the revival of a relationship that has shaped a decade of epic parties. Together, we’re set to deliver an unparalleled experience that redefines how music is celebrated on the White Isle.
