What a summer!

The party started with the Ting Tings way back in June and since then we've been graced with the presence of some of the hottest - hell - THE hottest acts in the world right now: MGMT, Soulwax, Dizzee Rascal, Vampire Weekend, Friendly Fires, Groove Armada and Calvin Harris to name but a few.

And even with that line-up, the best was arguably saved till last: the return of Klaxons certainly wasn't something that anybody present at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on Tuesday will forget in a hurry.

The energy and invention that Klaxons brought with them when they burst onto the scene back in 2007 has never showed any sign of waning, even during their recent absence from the limelight. And based on this performance, they're more alive now than ever.

Big Pink kicked off the evening: their electrifyingly huge sound lifting the crowd skyward and leaving us in no doubt of their deserved future at the forefront of the UK scene.

But it was when the genre-bending, trend-setting, label-defying headliners took the stage that the crowd really went wild. Hits new and old merged into a non-stop assault of danceable, dazzling, future rock music: frankly, Klaxons are everything Ibiza Rocks is about, and those packed in around the stage, the pool, and the balconies roared their approval throughout.

In true Ibiza Rocks style, the party carried on well into the early hours for the Reclaim The Dancefloor! Finale, with Digitalism, Chase + Status and Caspa all burning it down in a spectacularly epic fashion.

So, Tuesday night...

Soulwax returned for their annual September takeover, the third year in a row they have appeared at Ibiza Rocks.

It was full band first before the Dewaele Brothers hit the decks for a masterly 2ManyDJs session.

But that was not the end of the night, far from it. It was then on to the after party Reclaim the Dancefloor! where the duo played another 2 hour DJ set. The hardest working men in dance music?

It was also the first time they took their festival Audio/Visual set into a club ensuring an incredible end to their 4 appearances this summer. A massive hats off.

Click here for some photos from the night.

Burn The Negative were also on superb form in support, you can hear more of them by visiting www.myspace.com/burnthenegative.

So what next? Well only the closing party.

We have a massive line up in store with nu-rave overlords Klaxons headlining and support coming from one of 2009's hottest new acts, The Big Pink.

Then it's over to the closing night of Reclaim! where Digitalism will be performing their only Ibiza show of the summer and we'll have special guest appearances from dubstep dons Caspa and D&B crossover giants Chase & Status.

Tickets are still available, click here to get yours now.

SEE YOU ON THE FLOOR FOR THE FINAL TIME THIS SUMMER

August ended with a bang at Ibiza Rocks this week thanks to the American invasion of MGMT and The Virgins!

The shining lights of the Balearic party season turned out to pay their respects, including Simon and Yasmin Le Bon and Jade Jagger.

Once again the poolside stage was rammed to the tiles and those lucky people with tickets were not disappointed.

The night was kicked off by up-and-coming New Yorkers, The Virgins who put on one hell of a show packed full of tracks from their self titled debut album.

MGMT had a hard act to follow but were more than up to the job and soon had the 'Kids' dancing to their psychedelic, electro beats.

It was certainly an 'Oracular Spectacular' as all the big hits were dropped including 'Time To Pretend', 'Electric Feel' and 'Weekend Wars'.

And the band loved Ibiza so much they've already asked to return next year as Ibiza Rocks residents!

Check out some amazing pictures from the night here.

Next week we head full on into September with a little help from our favourite Belgians Soulwax, who will also be doubling up to provide turntable support in the form of 2manyDJs!                       

Another top night of class-A entertainment at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel this Tuesday, with the world's finest flocking to the White Island for the enjoyment of all.

First up were Swedish wizards Miike Snow, fresh from an appearance at the Radio 1 Weekend a couple of weeks back, they wowed the crowds with their summer smash hit 'Animal'. If you've not heard of them yet, don't worry - they'll be kicking down your back door soon enough.

Vampire Weekend brought the party from New York via Soweto - opening up with the instantly-recognisable groove of 'Mansard Roof', they had the crowd dancing on the sand from the very first beat. 'Oxford Comma', 'A-Punk', 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa' - the perfect pop soundtrack to a perfect Balearic night.

There was no stopping there though: 2 Many DJs joined Vampire Weekend's Chris Baio for Reclaim! playing an awesome DJ set to finish off the night in style in the Ibiza Rocks room.

Check out this week's gallery for a taste of the action. Wish you were here? You could be - click here for tickets and packages.

Next week we have the dynamic duo known as MGMT and New York City's hottest new property, The Virgins! Call the traffic police 'cos it's gonna be a ROADBLOCK!

The UK's finest exponents of Hip Hop landed with full force at Ibiza Rocks on Tuesday night with sets from Dizzee Rascal and Example rocking a completely off the hook crowd in the busiest show of the summer so far.

Example got the party started with his up-tempo electro garage rap mash-up flow before Dizzee finished us off.

'Bonkers' is one of the biggest party tunes of the summer and it didn't disappoint while new cut 'Holiday' was written for a night on the White Isle.

Check out some of the action from the night in this here gallery.

Onwards and upwards to next week when Vampire Weekend and Miike Snow will be crashing the party at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel.

Tickets are still available here but be quick, they could sell out at any minute!
