Classic Ibiza thrills largest-ever crowd at Burghley House

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. Next up, USO and Miss Mavrik took centre stage for the Sundowner Set, performing these iconic tracks:

Poppiholla (Chicane), Inner City Life (Goldie), Touch Me (Rui Da Silva), Rhythm of The Night (Corona), What Is Love (Haddaway), Turn Around (Phats and Small), The Man With The Red Face (Laurent Garnier), For An Angel (Paul van Dyke), Blind Faith (Chase & Status), Sun Is Shining (Bob Marley vs. Funkstar De Luxe), Red Alert (Basement Jaxx), Blackwater (Octave One), Sky (Sonique) and Theme from S’Express (S’Express).

USO took a break during Miss Mavrik’s Deep House DJ Set, a mix of classic and fresh Ibiza floor-fillers. They were then reunited on stage for the Dance Set, packed with these house anthems, accompanied by a spectacular laser show:

Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor Mix) (Mory Kante), Pump Up The Jam (Technotronic), Everybody’s Free (Rozalla), Let Me Be Your Fantasy (Baby D), Castles in the Sky (Ian van Dahl), Better Off Alone (Alice Deejay), ResuRection (PPK), Seven Days and One Week (BBE), Sandstorm (Darude), Adagio for Strings (Tiësto), We Come 1, God Is a DJ, Insomnia (Faithless), (I Wanna Give You) Devotion (Nomad), Push The Feeling On (Nightcrawlers), Dreamer (Livin’ Joy), Toca’s Miracle (Fragma), Waiting All Night (Rudimental), Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) (C&C Music Factory), King Of My Castle (Wamdue Project), Need You 100% (Duke Dumont), On A Ragga Tip (SL2), Silence (Delerium, Tiësto), Heaven (DJ Sammy), Summer (Calvin Harris) and Freed From Desire (Gala).

With the crowd chanting for more, USO and Miss Mavrik returned for an encore of three Classic Ibiza favourites: Out Of Space (The Prodigy), Hey Boy Hey Girl and Galvanize (The Chemical Bothers). When the show came to a close at 11pm, USO had performed 15 completely new orchestrations in a set of over 40 house classics.

Classic Ibiza at Burghley House is proud to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices. The show will return to the venue on Saturday 27 July 2024, with concertgoers able to register for tickets here before they go on general release in the Autumn.
