Heading to the White Isle this summer? Ibiza Rocks should probably be on your to-do list after seeing the first wave of their 2016 line up which this year features headline slots from LDC Soundsystem, Faithless and Major Lazer Soundsystem!

LCD Soundsystem will play the first part of this year's birthday celebrations as one of their few comeback festival appearances this summer on the 6th July, while Diplo and co will conclude the birthday vibes on the 13th July as the Major Lazer Soundsystem takes control.

Also announced today to cause havoc in the island's famed hotel include Slaves, Kaiser Chiefs, Jack Garratt, Jess Glynne, Tinie Tempah and Honne.

Last year Ibiza Rocks celebrated it's tenth anniversary of bringing live music to the Balearic hub, with Slaves bringing a stand-out support slot to The Libertines' show. On returning to Ibiza Rocks for this year's opening party, Slaves said: “Last year it was madness and one of the best experiences we’ve had as a band so far. We’re fans of The Libertines so that was an honour and we had non stop fun.

"Ibiza being associated with clubbers makes it all the more special when you’re playing really loud rock to everybody. We can’t wait to get back to Ibiza Rocks. What a crowd.”

Kaiser Chiefs, who played one of the first ever Rocks shows in 2005, said: “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we played Ibiza Rocks for the first time, in the backroom of club Manumission. It gets better and better every time, so here we go with the 5th installment. See you by the pool!”
