Authorities Have Banned tINI & The Gang’s Ibiza Beach Parties

Last year already, several promoters, DJs and labels offering free beach parties on the Balearic island of Ibiza were told to pack their bags by authorities who put their foot down on events such as Diynamic, tINI and the Gang, and Detroit Love showcases.

This summer, tINI, who famously played back-to-back with Bill Patrick for 31 hours at Sunwaves earlier this year, had planned to hold five daytime tINI and the Gang parties on Tuesdays at Ibiza’s Lips Beach Club.

However, the producer and DJ took to her social networks to announce some sad news via live video, “Unfortunately there will be no free beach party this year for us. The government again strike back in Ibiza. That’s really sad news, I’m trying not to cry here. But that’s how it is, we’ve got to deal with it.”

She proceeded to tell her fans that the parties were at least able to find a new home, at the San Rafael club Underground, starting this Tuesday at 9.30pm until 6.30am. tINI was at least happy to be able to feature the same artists that were scheduled to play at Lips throughout the five-party residency.

This isn’t the first news of Ibiza authorities stepping in to change the spectrum of the island’s party ways. They have already clamped down on club closing times, forcing every venue to shut their doors at 6:30am when in the past it was the continued and long parties deep into the morning that made Ibiza such a revered destination throughout the world.

Tini & The Gang Gets Shut Down in Ibiza

Tini with Crowd

Since it’s inception, Tini & The Gang has become an integral event in Ibiza’s nightlife. Among the onslaught of world-class clubbing there’s something special about a free beach party with Tini and her respective guests. Unfortunately for Tini & The Gang and the quintessential Ibiza vibes, the fun came to a stop last week as Ibiza Police were called to shut down the event.

The news came via a mobile upload on Tini’s Facebook, with a variety of people voicing their opinion about the changing landscape and party ethics of Ibiza. According to Tini, the Ibiza Police arrived due to a complaint that was called in, but we have trouble coming to peace with the thought that someone would do such a thing in Ibiza. If that is the case, it’s a rather unfortunate one for those in attendance on that fine Friday afternoon.

Let’s hope this is the first and last time that Tini & The Gang experience a speed bump like this. May the rest of the Ibiza season for Tini flow as smoothly as the beats.
