KV2 Audio » News » 50 years of Amnesia: Ibiza’s legendary nightclub celebrates milestone anniversary with KV2 Audio-powered summer finale
9/11/2026
In October, Ibiza’s legendary Amnesia celebrated another extraordinary season with the Amnesia Closing Festival, a huge music event with DJ sets from sundown to sunrise and beyond. With the club also celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, this Closing Festival was bigger, and louder, than ever before, making it a spectacular showcase of the KV2 Audio systems that have helped Amnesia earn its reputation for the best sound on the island.
Opened in 1976, Amnesia’s early days as a free-spirited, open-air venue helped shape Ibiza’s emerging club culture, and over the years its commitment to excellent sound has cemented it as one of the world’s most iconic nightclubs. Hosting leading DJs and electronic music artists throughout its Main Room and Terrace for five decades, the club has continually evolved to meet the demands of modern electronic music, with KV2 Audio playing a key role in delivering the powerful, immersive sound experience Amnesia is now known for.
The club’s relationship with KV2 dates back to 2018, with their continued investment in the advanced technology from the Czech audio manufacturer reflecting a commitment to exceptional sound quality. First installed in 2018 and upgraded in 2022, the Main Room’s system is centred on nine KV2 SL412 wide-dispersion loudspeakers, supported by four VHD8.10 low-mid modules and nineteen VHD2.18J subwoofers. Engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, dynamic range and powerful, controlled bass across the dancefloor, the system is complemented by additional loudspeakers providing consistent coverage throughout the balcony and VIP areas.
Then, in 2025, focus shifted to the Terrace, formerly an open-air space, now enclosed by a windowed roof, which features eight SL412 loudspeakers, eight VHD8.10 low-mid modules and twenty-four VHD2.18J subwoofers across the installation. Together with KV2’s VHD7000D amplification and dedicated DJ monitoring, the system delivers the high output, precise low-frequency control and consistent sound quality required for the club’s energetic performances and extended opening hours.
“Amnesia is one of the most iconic nightclubs in the world, and we’ve been incredibly proud to play a part in its sound experience over the years,” says George Krampera Jr., CEO of KV2 Audio. “The club has always had exceptionally high standards when it comes to audio, and its continued investment in KV2 technology is a testament to what our systems can deliver.”
The Amnesia Closing Festival provided the perfect opportunity to demonstrate those capabilities. Beginning on Saturday 10 October and continuing through the night until midday on Sunday, the event was an immense 19-hour celebration of electronic music, bringing together more than twenty-five DJs across multiple stages. The majority of the performances took place in the Main Room and Terrace, putting the KV2 systems through their paces across a diverse programme of music, from driving techno to house and underground sounds. As the festival approached its conclusion, Joseph Capriati and Josh Baker delivered a three-hour back-to-back set on the Terrace, bringing the anniversary celebrations to a memorable close.
BBC Radio 1 captured Baker’s sunrise You&Me set for its Essential Mix, bringing the Amnesia experience to listeners beyond Ibiza. Reflecting on what makes the venue so special, Baker has since shared his praise for the venue and its exceptional sound quality with KV2 Audio: “It’s one of the main reasons I had to take my night You&Me there for our Ibiza residency. The sound system in Amnesia is one of my favourites in Ibiza, if not the world.”
