This year Annie Mac will be joined in ibiza by Pete Tong and Danny Howard, all hosting live shows and events during the course of the weekend.

"It really is a special place, there's something about it that makes people keep coming back every single year," said Annie Mac as she announced the plans.

"I've been lucky enough to be going for years now, I've had some incredible memories.

"My second ever show on Radio 1 was a live broadcast from Ibiza, it was incredible."

The full line up will be released over the coming weeks on BBC's Radio 1.
