BBC Radio 1Xtra has a strong emphasis on live music and since the launch of BBC Radio 1Xtra on 16 August 2002, the station has played a central role in bringing the best in contemporary black and urban music to the mainstream, championing British artists when few others were, and now stands as a multiplatform station with 1.11 million weekly listeners.

Mark Strippel, Head of Programmes, BBC Radio 1Xtra, says: “Ibiza has increasingly grown in prominence as a destination for the British Black music scene, so it’s only right that 1Xtra brings its own summer celebration to the White Isle, and to a big Saturday night audience on 1Xtra and Radio 1.”

DJ Target says: “The magic of Ibiza is something that grabbed me the first time I visited the island, and having DJ’d there over the last few years and seen the massive growth in the music that we specialise in at 1Xtra, I just cannot wait to get out there with this huge line up of artists and shut it down. It’s going to be historic!”

Charlie Sloth says: “Ibiza has changed a lot over the last five years with Rap and Grime being embraced on the island in a huge way. So 1Xtra making its first appearance at the legendary Ibiza Rocks is huge and crazy exciting!”
