Pyramid Ibiza Announces Full Season Line Up: Dates, Artists & Unexpected B2Bs
It’s official: the season in Ibiza is about to begin, and Sundays have a name of their own at Amnesia — Pyramid. Eighteen dates filled with energy, musical diversity, and an artistic selection that combines legendary icons with new rising talents from the electronic scene.
Pyramid Ibiza presents all line-ups organized by date, shaping an intense and eclectic season. This year, the concept is refreshed with a program that brings emerging talent and iconic names together under one roof. Two rooms, two atmospheres — black and white, light and shadow — converge every Sunday to offer a unique experience for clubbers from around the globe. After establishing itself as one of the most iconic Sunday events in Ibiza and taking its essence to cities like Mar del Plata (Argentina) and Barcelona, Pyramid returns to its home at Amnesia with an unprecedented season. True to its symbolic aesthetic, it continues to bet on a powerful visual identity: geometry, contrasting lights, and stage design that transforms the club into its own universe.
One of this year’s biggest draws will be the B2B format, bringing artists together in the booth to fuse styles and energies. Notable pairings include Ricardo Villalobos b2b Luciano, Sidney Charles b2b Luuk Van Dyk, Marco Faraone b2b Tiga, and Chris Liebing b2b Marco Faraone.
Among the season’s standout dates, we find the Opening Party on June 8, which will kick things off with a powerful showcase. On August 31, the Terrace will come alive with an exclusive live set from Maribou State, and on October 5, its Closing Party will mark the perfect end to an unforgettable summer. No matter your favorite corner of the electronic spectrum, Pyramid is designed to invite you to explore new sounds and break musical boundaries. From the punch of the Main Room to the immersive atmospheres of the Terrace, every space is an opportunity to discover the unexpected.
This season also brings new faces and exciting, unconventional formats, like the Closing B3B, where three artists will share the booth and showcase their powerful skill set. Legendary figures like Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, and Nina Kraviz remain strong in the lineup, but Pyramid is also betting on fresh names like E.Lina, Alexxandra, Bubble Love, and Coast 2 Coast.
Pyramid Ibiza: a place where clubbing is lived without filters.

Data & Communication Save Fuel Says New AGF Report
A Greener Future has released a report revealing the current status and future trends in the use of power at festivals.
The Low Emission Festivals Report examines current energy management practices at events and identifies opportunities for improvement. The report, which is based on surveys completed by UK festivals, and is supported by Green Britain Foundation, is intended to help event organisers and power professionals to identify current obstacles faced in the transition to green energy at events.
Key takeaways
- Nearly 70% of survey respondents indicated that they are working to reduce energy consumption.
- Festivals are adopting hybrid battery systems, transitioning to grid power and using more energy-efficient equipment like LED lights.
- 76% of festivals still use diesel generators.
- High costs and logistical challenges are obstacles to implementing sustainable energy solutions.
- Many festivals engage with power providers too late to optimise their energy consumption.
- Data-driven approaches to optimise and eliminate fuel consumption lead to substantial fuel savings and more efficient energy management.
Energy is one of the key challenges in the festival sector’s transition to low-carbon events. Outdoor events have historically relied on mobile power generators, especially in areas with limited access to grid connections, but also in urban locations. Burning diesel and biofuel (e.g. HVO) causes both carbon emissions and air pollution.
The Low Emission Festivals Report is based on two surveys conducted among 26 UK festival organisers from within the AGF, AIF, and LIVE Green festival community, and 9 power contractors, who collectively power many of the UK’s music festivals. The surveyed festivals represent a diverse range of events across England, Scotland, and Wales, from small community gatherings to large-scale events. The study evaluated methods for determining energy needs; equipment and technologies used; communication between organisers and power providers; and energy management approaches and sustainability efforts.
The report includes recommendations for both event organisers and power providers. By strengthening collaboration, adopting data-driven approaches, and sharing risks and responsibilities, the event sector can significantly reduce its reliance on fossil fuels while improving operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This can be further bolstered by government and cross-sector support.
“We’ve known for more than a decade that event power requirements are over specified, (meaning they make inefficient use of generators) and have been aware of the need to use low carbon alternatives, yet despite this, progress has been slow. Faster action is needed to move away from burning fuel to reduce costs and prevent further climate change and air pollution. This report provides insight for organisers and power providers to work collaboratively for these outcomes, in an equitable and sustainable way.” Claire O’Neill (CEO, A Greener Future)

AGF Report Shows Festivals Going Plant-Based & Increased Focus on Recycling
AGF (A Greener Future) releases its Annual Festival Sustainability Insights – providing industry-wide trends and benchmarks for the global festival sector.
Key takeaways
- More festivals are going meat-free
- Recycling rates have increased, whilst camping waste volume could reduce further.
- Festivals are still widely using generators. HVO fuel as an alternative to diesel is increasing in popularity, and there has been an uptick in grid, storage and renewables exploration.
The AGF Annual Festival Sustainability Insights report is the culmination of a year of information gathering, data analysis, and number crunching for the 40 festivals from 16 countries that were assessed by AGF in 2024, covering topics such as food & drink, water & sanitation, power & fuel use, waste & recycling, travel, and carbon emissions.
AGF has been assessing festival impacts worldwide for 19 years, and each year publishes a report outlining progress, innovation and areas for improvement within the sector.
This year’s report demonstrated some encouraging statistics, with 70% of assessed events implementing a complete ban on single-use plastics and the average recycling rate increasing from 38% in 2022 to 49% in 2024.
20% of festivals assessed were either fully vegetarian or vegan, compared to just 8% in 2023. This is a promising sign as industrial animal agriculture and food production are among the biggest drivers of climate change and nature decline and form a major part of an event’s environmental impact.
The average amount of waste per person per day was 0.8kg across all festivals, ranging from 0.5kg for non-camping events to 1.4kg for camping events, the latter of which is equal to the EU daily average.
26% of festivals were run entirely on mains electricity. Diesel was still the most popular source of generator fuel for small to medium festivals, whilst larger events have mostly transitioned to HVO fuel. Although several events set a precedent, the use of battery storage and onsite renewables remained marginal in 2024.
Audience travel emissions represented between 35% and 94% of festival carbon footprints, depending on the location, nature, and scale of the event. 2024 also saw an increase in the number of attendees reporting electric car usage, however more could be done to increase public and collective transport with 62% of rural festival attendees using private vehicles.
2024 was also the year of the Guinness World Record-breaking low-carbon concert – Massive Attack’s Act 1.5 Climate Action Accelerator – for which AGF provided sustainability consultancy. The event was fully plant-based and ran entirely on batteries charged from the wind and sun. The main stage was powered by Grid Faeries x Ecotricity 1MW battery, with no generator backup or diesel used site wide.
Claire O’Neill – CEO, A Greener Future:
“Festivals that work with AGF or apply for certification are generally environmentally aware and active. Nevertheless, these results are promising, showing a trend towards decarbonisation and waste reduction. In particular, we are happy to see more festivals going plant based as this is one of the single most important changes events can make to protect nature and tackle climate change, and costs nothing. There is room for improvement with regards to getting fossil fuels out of festivals and low-carbon travel, but we know how to do this and expect to see a rapid decline in diesel use in the coming years.”
Key Findings by Category
Travel & Transport
- A third of festivals recorded over 70% local audiences.
- 62% of audiences reported travelling to rural-based festivals by private vehicle for the longest part of their journey, compared to 36% for urban festivals.
- 2024 saw an increase in the number of attendees reporting electric vehicle use.
- The average share of domestic artists across all festival lineups was 68%. This was largely driven by 12 festivals, who booked over 80% of domestic artists.
Food & Beverage
- 20% were fully vegetarian or vegan, up from 8% in 2023.
- 70% had introduced a complete ban on single-use plastics.
- 67% implemented reusable cup systems across their entire event.
Power & Fuel Use
- 26% of festivals ran entirely on mains electricity.
- 20% ran entirely on HVO biofuel.
- 72% used generators for some or all of their power.
- Diesel was still the major source of generator fuel for small to medium festivals, while larger festivals using generators have mostly transitioned to HVO.
Waste & Recycling
- The average site recycling rate across all festivals assessed has increased from 38% in 2022 to 49% in 2024.
- The average waste per person per day across all festival types was 0.8kg, with camping festivals averaging 1.4kg, compared to 0.5kg for non-camping festivals. As a reference, the average waste generated per person per day in the EU in 2023 was 1.4 kg.
Water & Sanitation
- Average water consumption across all festival types was 15 litres per person per day, with significant variations between camping and non-camping events. By comparison, the average daily water consumption per person in the EU is around 140 litres.
- Over 70% of festivals used portable chemical toilets on-site, and 15% used compost toilets
Data on water use at urban events is improving, but accurate water metering remains a challenge.
Carbon Emissions
- Audience travel emissions represented between 35% and 94% of festival carbon footprints, depending on the location, nature, and scale of the event.
- When excluding audience travel, food-related emissions ranged from less than 10% (for 100% meat-free events), to up to 40% of a festival’s carbon footprint.
- Data relating to new materials, decor, and equipment purchased is improving but remains under-reported.

Mallorca Live Festival, the most important music and cultural event in the Balearic Islands, has been awarded the national Contribution to Sustainability prize at the renowned Iberian Festival Awards, held on Saturday in Almancil, Portugal. The Mallorcan event was a finalist in five categories including; Best Major Festival, Best Live Performance - Aitana, Best Electronic Act - Underworld, Best Touristic Promotion and Contribution to Sustainability.
The festival was recognized for the work carried out in 2024 to reduce its carbon footprint, meet the Sustainable Development Goals, and offer Mallorca a greener festival each year.
In collaboration, once again, with its sustainable sponsor, Endesa, the festival carried out two important actions in its last edition: the implementation of a hybrid battery system on Stage 3 - Endesa to reduce its energy consumption and the planting of the last of the 23 trees located in Casa Esment (Mallorcan Esment Foundation’s headquarters) to balance the festival's 2023 carbon footprint. In addition, the festival continued with its successful mobility plan to promote responsibility and commitment to the island, performing more than 22,000 transfers from Palma and Part Forana.

Looking ahead to its upcoming edition, Mallorca Live Festival continues to champion its sustainability plan and is receiving recognition from artists and bands who take these measures seriously, such as Massive Attack, the legendary British band known for its commitment to the environment, who will headline the second day of the festival on Friday, June 13.
The Iberian Festival Awards aims to recognize the contributions and achievements of those working in the live event industry, honouring festival organizers and bringing together the industry's leading promoters, artists, agents, sponsors, and service providers. This initiative, which aims to improve relations between the countries and regions of the Iberian Peninsula, is part of the Talkfest - Music Fest Summit, the leading event in the Iberian Peninsula for all matters related to music festivals, in which Spain and Portugal take part.
Julio González (Fesjajá) accepted the award on behalf of Mallorca Live and conveyed the words of gratitude from Álvaro Martínez, CEO of Mallorca Live: "I want to thank the Iberian Festival Awards for this award, which helps us continue working for and in support of music with the same passion and courage we had at the beginning. I would like to share this award with each and every one of the employees, collaborators, and friends who make Mallorca Live Festival what it is today after seven editions. When it comes to a project like ours, the team is essential, and today I want to express my gratitude for their dedication and passion with this award. Thank you to the jury for recognizing our work in the field of sustainability and the actions the festival takes to generate the least possible impact on the environment when organizing this great event."
