Pete Tong’s Ibiza Prom at the Royal Albert Hall was a breakthrough moment of 2015. It was Radio 1’s first ever Prom and was less a concert and more dance-party – a musical homage to Ibiza and its infectious, energetic brand of club music.

2015 marked the 20th anniversary of Radio 1 in Ibiza and this was first and foremost be a celebration to remember. Pete Tong presented a line-up of live artists, who performed with Jules Buckley and his Heritage Orchestra.

At IMS Ibiza this year, Tong discussed how the creative process came about with his classical-collaborator, Jules Buckley and the plans for the future with shows at Londons O2 Arena and more.
