Dance music icon Pete Tong MBE brings the critically acclaimed global phenomenon Ibiza Classics to the south coast, headlining Brighton Beach on Friday 9th July 2027 with The Essential Orchestra.

Originally conceived in 2015 when BBC Radio 1 united Pete Tong with visionary conductor and composer Jules Buckley for a historic BBC Prom at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the project has grown from a landmark one-off performance into an international touring powerhouse. Fusing electronic club culture with live symphonic orchestration, the show has welcomed over 750,000 fans across the globe – from the Hollywood Bowl to multiple sold-out nights at London’s O2 Arena.

At the centre of it all is Pete Tong MBE, one of the most influential figures in electronic music history, leading an expansive orchestral reimagining of the definitive anthems of the White Isle:

Global Phenomenon: Over a decade of touring major arenas and outdoor venues worldwide, including sell-out shows at Blenheim Palace, Manchester’s AO Arena, and The King’s Coronation Concert.

Chart-Topping Success: Studio releases featuring collaborations with electronic music pioneers and vocalists, yielding over 300,000 physical album sales and a UK No.1 chart debut.

Full Live Orchestra: Club classics, house anthems, and Balearic classics fully orchestrated live by The Essential Orchestra alongside special guest vocalists and performers.

Set directly against the backdrop of Brighton’s coastline, this outdoor beach showcase brings the euphoric spirit and heritage of Ibiza to Brighton Beach.
