We’re sure you don’t need any introduction to Ibiza. The White Island has been a raver's paradise for decades now, with millions making the pilgrimage to enjoy the most legendary names in house, techno, trance, and more every single year. Scouse Week in Ibiza, on the other hand, is something you might not be as familiar with.
Originally a nickname for BBC’s Radio 1 Ibiza Weekend (which is now just the first weekend of August), Scouse Week now refers to the whole first seven days of August on the Balearic Island; which is pretty much when the season is at its peak.
A bit confusing, we know, but given the island's nature, you can’t always expect things to follow the rules or make complete sense. It is a party island, you know.

Those first seven days of August have affectionately been called Scouse Week for years now, and if you’re wondering why, well, the answer is simple... the Scousers (and others from the North West) can't get enough of grooving in beefa.
During those first seven days, the island is flooded with party people from the region, and so many touch down that promoters consider it to be the highlight of the season, with tickets for many parties during the takeover selling out in record time.
Considering how much the North West loves a good party, we doubt the name will change anytime soon. Any passionate raver, especially one from Liverpool, should be keen to check it out. The scenes will be mad, if you're a scouser you'll probably end up seeing that person from Primary School you haven't seen since you left, and the raves will be in their highest gear.
It’s incredible how one English city has had such an influence on one of the most popular party islands in the world. If this all feels like a bit of you, or you're already heading out to Ibiza during Scouse Week, then click on the links below and get planning!
