Pyramid will close its 2026 season at Amnesia Ibiza on 4 October with a line-up that gives unusually long-form club formats centre stage. The Terrace features Ricardo Villalobos b3b Raresh b3b Franco Cinelli, alongside Seth Troxler, Shanti Celeste and Mar-T. The Main Room moves into tougher territory with Nina Kraviz playing an extended set, plus Adrián Mills, Cerrot and Luca Donzelli. Amnesia lists doors from 23:00 and tickets from €50 via its official Pyramid page.
The b3b is built around shared patience
Villalobos, Raresh and Franco Cinelli are all associated with sets where small rhythmic details carry disproportionate weight. None of them needs to force a new peak every few records. A three-way set between selectors of that kind can work because the conversation happens through restraint: one record leaves space for the next DJ to redirect the groove rather than trying to win control of the room immediately.
The format is also technically interesting. B3b sessions can become messy when styles or egos collide, but these artists share enough history in minimal and house circles for the transitions to become part of the attraction. Villalobos may pull toward strange vocals or loose percussion, Raresh often brings exceptionally precise functional records, while Cinelli can bridge classic house pressure with more stripped club tools.
Seth Troxler and Shanti Celeste keep the Terrace from narrowing
The rest of the Terrace prevents the closing from becoming a single-style showcase. Seth Troxler has always treated house history with irreverence, capable of moving from deep records into vocal material or odd edits without sounding overly curated. Shanti Celeste brings a brighter, more agile rhythmic language that can touch house, techno and broken-beat territory. Mar-T adds the Amnesia connection of someone who understands the room beyond one season.
That variety matters over a full closing night. Minimal can be hypnotic when the pacing is right, but several hours of extremely similar drum architecture can flatten the experience. The surrounding selectors give the Terrace enough colour to make the long b3b feel like a centrepiece rather than the entire definition of the room.
Nina Kraviz gets time to expand the Main Room
An extended set from Nina Kraviz is an equally important booking decision. Her festival appearances can be intense and compressed, but longer sets reveal a wider collection: acid, techno, electro, trance and stranger records that need time to connect. In the darker Main Room, that range can work without competing with daylight or the more social atmosphere of the Terrace.
Adrián Mills, Cerrot and Luca Donzelli complete a room that should remain more direct and physical. The contrast with the Terrace is not simply about BPM. It is about texture, density and how quickly records announce themselves. That makes moving between the two spaces part of the musical experience.
Pyramid ends the season by trusting DJs with time
The most notable thing about the closing is how little it depends on novelty formats or celebrity pairings with no musical history. A three-way set built around deep record knowledge and an extended Kraviz session both ask the audience to stay with artists for longer than a standard festival slot. In a season dominated by compressed attention, that decision feels quietly radical. Amnesia’s architecture gives Pyramid the right setting to make it work.
