John Summit takes control of Hï Ibiza this June with his Experts Only takeover. The Chicago-born superstar brings two powerful nights that promise to shake the island. Known for his massive festival appearances and viral energy, John Summit flips the script by curating a residency focused on underground talent and community-driven club culture. This is a key highlight to a long list of Ibiza residencies this summer.
Experts Only is more than just a name. It’s Summit’s personal mission to celebrate the entire spectrum of electronic music. From massive techno drops to groove-heavy Afro House, Summit’s curation reflects his love for sounds that live beyond the charts. This summer, the world’s most awarded nightclub becomes his playground.
June 20 and June 27 mark the first-ever Experts Only residency at Hï Ibiza, headlined by John Summit in Theatre, delivering his signature mix of high-energy house, tech-house, and surprise edits that fans have come to expect. But he doesn’t do it alone. He shares the stage with global heavyweights and underground heroes.
June 20: Big Room Meets Underground Roots
The first night kicks off on June 20 with a high-impact b2b set from Chris Avantgarde and Kevin de Vries. Both artists are known for their melodic techno mastery, creating a journey built on emotion and power. Joining them is Max Styler, a rising star pushing the boundaries of tech-house, and Kitty Amor, one of the leading voices in Afro House.
While the Theatre delivers headline energy, the Club Room goes deep. Ewan McVicar returns to Ibiza with his relentless house selections. Sally C brings her gritty, old-school sound. Dam Swindle, known for his Amsterdam roots in house and disco, rounds out the vibe with grooves that feel timeless.
June 27: A Chicago Legend Returns
Summit returns on June 27 with Green Velvet, the Chicago house legend behind iconic tracks like “La La Land” and “Flash.” Velvet’s unmistakable voice and jacking beats make him a perfect match for Summit’s energy. Layton Giordani, a new-school techno tastemaker, adds weight to the lineup with driving beats and emotional builds.
Adding depth to the night is Milushka, whose emotionally charged sets bring raw feeling to the dance floor. In the Club Room, Ewan McVicar returns alongside Young Marco, the eclectic selector known for his genre-blurring sets that span everything from disco to trance. More names will be announced soon, building anticipation for a lineup already loaded with talent.
John Summit Experts Only: For the Next Generation
While John Summit headlines festivals and stadiums worldwide, Experts Only brings him back to the club roots that shaped him. He built the brand not just as a record label, but as a movement for the underground. By booking artists who thrive in smaller, intimate spaces, Summit uses his platform to lift others.
“Experts Only is about building a community that celebrates every side of dance music,” says Summit. “It’s not just about the big names, it’s about giving a space to those who deserve the spotlight.”
This residency at Hï Ibiza captures that spirit. It bridges Summit’s superstar profile with the raw energy of emerging artists. It’s a bold statement about where club culture is headed, and who gets to shape its future
Experts Only at Hï Ibiza takes place on June 20 and June 27, 2025. Doors open at 23:30 both nights. Tickets are now available at hiibiza.com.
