Ibiza is once again preparing for a season wrapped in intrigue and elegance. The masked enigma Claptone has confirmed the return of his celebrated residency The Masquerade at Chinois Ibiza, taking over Saturdays from May 16 to October 10, 2026. Following a standout debut season, the concept returns for its second year with renewed energy, refined vision, and an even deeper connection to the dancefloor.
A Saturday ritual reborn
Last summer, The Masquerade quickly established itself as one of Ibiza’s most distinctive Saturday nights. A crowd that came to truly dance, immersive production, and Claptone’s signature house sound came together to create a weekly ritual that felt elegant, playful, and irresistibly magnetic. It was more than just another residency, but an experience built around atmosphere, emotion, and movement.
A refined vision for 2026
For 2026, The Masquerade returns elevated. Expect longer DJ sets, carefully curated line-ups, and a rotating selection of special guest DJs who will add new dimensions to each night. With fresh musical moments and subtle surprises woven throughout the season, Chinois Ibiza once again transforms into a space where music, mystery, and style meet — drawing dancers fully into the night.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Claptone and The Masquerade back to Chinois for a second season. Year One felt like a natural fit — not only musically, but also in terms of atmosphere, style, and the crowd it attracted. The energy was right from the start, and working with Claptone’s team has been excellent. We’re excited to see the return of the mask in 2026.”
