The 25th DJ Awards. Amnesia Ibiza. Wednesday 7 October 2026 — the same year Amnesia turns fifty.
Eighteen months of groundwork, delivered in eight weeks. A three-year residency at Amnesia signed. YouTube as official broadcast partner. Pioneer signed as headline sponsor. The bankruptcy lifted, the company restructured, and Crossfade Capital Ltd now owns 100% of DJ Awards SL.
The event is profitable, the structure is clean, and break-even sits at eleven tables out of thirty. Every major cost is contracted and every major partner is signed. This year's profit clears the historic creditors in full. In November we raise £1m at a £5m valuation.
Everything marked pending is agreed in principle and awaiting signature. None of it is in the numbers on this page.
Headline sponsor. Show partner, integrated into the three-act history of dance music.
View the pitch →Official broadcast and streaming partner. Live special, and paying for the production crew.
Ticketing and distribution partner.
Every drink in the building — champagne, wine and tequila — in return for a category.
Corporate table, five senior executives, and a DJ Awards platform inside Apple Music for emerging artists.
View the pitch →Corporate table. Announcing the Legends Tour from the stage on the night.
Corporate table, and host hotel partner for the 53-room buy-out.
Hotel takeover in San Antonio, £19 party packages, and a Jet2-branded voting portal driving our numbers. This one changes everything.
View the pitch →The Afro House category, a competition to find the next Black Coffee, and their own branded voting portal.
View the pitch →Paid drinks partner. Sponsors the Icon Award to Amnesia's original owner.
View the pitch →£284,000 of sponsorship is agreed and unsigned. Jet2 alone is £169,000 and brings a branded voting portal into their own customer base. Wingstop is £50,000, Monkey Shoulder £65,000. Not one euro of it appears in the income above — every figure on this page stands without them.
€50,000. One only. Ten seats front and centre, presenting the top award live on the broadcast, red carpet with the press pool, champagne, €5,000 of after-party spend, the DJ box during the after-show and two rooms at the host hotel.
Not counted in any figure on this page. It carries almost no cost, so if it sells it is close to pure margin on top.
Most visit Ibiza; very few truly experience it. We have taken over the iconic Hotel Es Vivé in Figueretas, now owned by Messi and managed by Meliá.
Two nights, private airport transfers, private transfers to and from the DJ Awards, two tickets to the ceremony, and dinner at Nobu on the Thursday followed by a water taxi into the old town. Transfers, food and drinks all included.
Scotland. The parent, and where your shares sit. Raises in sterling, holds the group, goes to Crowdcube in November. Owns 100% of DJ Awards SL.
Spain. The trading company. Sells the tickets in euros, holds the residency, pays the euro costs, and owns the IP and trademarks now being registered across nine territories.
Sponsorship, seat income and the hotel packages cover most of the cost base before a single table on the main ladder sells.
Around £213,000. Excluded: the Chairman's Table, £284,000 of pending sponsorship, the after-party door and bar share, and general admission.
Every historic creditor is identified, quantified and on agreed terms. Nothing is disputed and nothing is hidden.
Several creditors are converting to equity rather than taking cash. My own loans and those of my investment company are not being called in — they stay in the business.
250,000 people voted in 2025, up from 21,000 the year before. This year we go for a million — and our partners do the work. Wingstop and Jet2 each run branded voting portals into their own customer bases. Amnesia push to fifty years of theirs.
Date, venue and Chairman announced. Registration opens. First tables on sale.
Nominees across 25 categories. Line-up revealed. Second table tier live.
Second PR peak. Final and top tiers on sale, all balances due.
Amnesia Ibiza, live on YouTube, aired in 90 countries.
Into the database built over the preceding ten weeks.
DJ Awards Ibiza 2027 and DJ Awards USA at the Faena, Miami.
Deliberately timed beyond the three-year holding period so nobody's relief is disturbed.
The step between the two is the event itself. That is the entire argument, and it will either be earned on 7 October or it won't.
Income, cost, break-even and the hotel P&L. Every figure on this page comes off one model.
