Island Debut
John Summit Ibiza residency becomes official, as the Chicago producer locks a 2026 Experts Only run at [UNVRS]. Announced Tuesday, the nine-date Monday series spans June 1 to July 27, marking Summit’s first formal residency on the island and a decisive career milestone.
Experts Only Vision
Summit frames the move as a perfect fit for his label-driven brand. “From the moment I stepped into [UNVRS], I knew we had to bring Experts Only there,” he said. He praised the venue’s sound, production, and energy, calling Ibiza the dance music capital and promising maximal weekly production this June and July.
Club Ecosystem
The residency slots neatly into [UNVRS]’s high-powered calendar. David Guetta leads Fridays from June 19 to Oct. 2, Elrow commandeers Sundays, and Carl Cox adds Sunday night firepower from June 21 to Oct. 4. This stacked roster underscores Ibiza’s escalating competition for marquee programming, with [UNVRS] aiming to shape the season’s center of gravity.

The venue itself arrived with momentum last season, opening to fanfare behind Eric Prydz’s Holosphere 2.0. [UNVRS] is a Yann Pissenem venture under The Night League, also behind Hï and Ushuaïa, two powerhouses that set production benchmarks. The alignment suggests [UNVRS] will continue pushing cutting-edge audiovisual narratives that suit Summit’s peak-time, big-room sensibilities.
Momentum Check
Summit’s road to residency has been rapid yet deliberate. Since 2022, he has scaled Ibiza appearances while upgrading globally, from a 2025 stadium date at Boulder’s Folsom Field to a headlining set at Austin City Limits. He also launched the Experts Only festival, which will return to New York City this fall, reinforcing a flywheel between artist brand, label platform, and live IP.
Broader Trends
Summit’s booking reflects a broader shift where DJ residencies function as mini-festivals with tight branding and repeatable spectacle. As tech-house and crossover mainstage sounds dominate streaming and festivals, residencies like this test new production concepts before exporting them worldwide. For [UNVRS], packing Mondays with a proven draw widens the club’s weekly cadence, while giving Summit a laboratory for evolving his sound and stagecraft.
What To Expect
Expect punchy, vocal-led rollers, peak-hour tension, and curated guests orbiting the Experts Only aesthetic. The Monday slot invites locals and destination fans to recalibrate the week around club culture, a tactic that helped other venues build ritual-like attendance patterns. If Summit delivers on scale and surprise, John Summit Ibiza residency could become the season’s most reliable Monday-night payoff.
