Classic Ibiza continued its eight-night summer tour at Burghley House on Saturday 29 July, with the 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra leading a capacity Lincolnshire crowd on a magical journey of the very-best in Balearic-infused house music. Over 9,000 people of all ages attended the family-friendly show – Classic Ibiza’s largest-ever Burghley House audience.
Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward comments: “What a way to mark our return to the absolutely stunning grounds of Burghley House. Our musicians and crew were immense, but the biggest shout-out goes to our incredible Lincolnshire audience.
“They are the ones that bring the unique Classic Ibiza vibe and make the show so special. We’re already thinking about how to take Classic Ibiza to new heights next year, so stay tuned. See you next summer, folks!”
The concert began at 5.30 pm with a new Chill-Out DJ Set, as the crowd settled into the laidback vibe over their picnics. Former Pacha Ibiza resident, DJ Jose Luis then took control of the decks for his Latin House Set, which for the first time included a live jamming session with members of USO.
