Ibiza in the early noughties voted the ‘best club scene’ according to Brits

IBIZA in the early 2000s has been voted the ‘club scene’ party-loving adults would most like to revisit, according to research.

Four in 10 music fans (41 per cent) voted the Balearic island’s noughties superclub scene the era they’d most like to go back and experience.

It beat tough competition from 1980s rave/acid house (26 per cent) and 1990s jungle and drum ‘n’ bass (21 per cent).

The research took in the views of 41,814 followers of Virgin Media to launch Club Rewind, the UK’s first ever inter-city connected club experience that will transport clubbers back to Ibiza at the turn of the millennium.

Ibiza legends Pete Tong and Carl Cox will headline the event which takes place on 22nd September at two ‘connected clubs’ in London and Glasgow.

Despite being 400 miles apart, the DJs will play alternate songs for an entire shared set, using Virgin Media’s Gig1 broadband to switch back and forth and entertain both venues simultaneously, with music fans also able to tune in from home.

But it isn’t all about the sandy beaches for British clubbers, as a separate study of 2,000 adults in touch with a parent found Hacienda in Manchester is the most iconic nightclub of all time (15 per cent), followed by Studio 54 in New York (12 per cent).

A quarter (25 per cent) of 18–22-year-olds admit to being jealous of the musical scenes their parents got to experience.

Three in 10 (29 per cent) even wish they could enjoy a ‘noughties’ night out for themselves.

Another 14 per cent said concerts, gigs and performances with their folks were some of their best memories growing up.
