Here are the best plans for the weekend on Ibiza and Formentera

Contrast Ibiza celebrates its second year this weekend at sa Punta des Molí in Sant Antoni in the purest New York style, with a concert by Sophie Auster, a DJ set by Clem Burke (Blondie) and Marky Ramone and an exhibition by Sean Yseult (White Zombie), between Friday and Saturday.

Sant Pepe Rock returns on Saturday in a big way after a two year hiatus with two bands very dear to the Ibizan public, the local Joven Dolores and the almost local Sopa de Cabra, celebrating 30 years of the live album ‘Ben endins’. The new location is the Sant Josep swimming pools parking area.

Serielizados Fest will offer series lovers an opportunity to meet some leading players and stars and see exclusive previews of new releases, such as the docuseries dedicated to Locomía. Between Friday and Sunday in Jesús and Santa Eulària.

And Sant Ferran will be the center of fun on Formentera this weekend, with concerts, shows and tradition from Saturday to Monday, when the big day is celebrated.

In addition there is the clown show ‘Únic’ on Saturday at the Caló de s’Oli auditorium.
