Sasha and John Digweed have played their final Ibiza show of 2026, and they did it on a Carl Cox UNVRS Sunday. The progressive house pair joined Cox’s residency at the San Rafael hyperclub on September 6, a date the venue billed with Cox and the duo at the top of the Main Room, supported by Mariano Mellino, Wild Comet and Melon Bomb. Digweed confirmed afterwards that it was the last time he and Sasha would play together on the island this season.
What happened at Carl Cox UNVRS on September 6
The night ran as one of Cox’s regular Sunday sessions, doors at 23:30, with Cox in control of the room and Sasha and John Digweed as the headline guests. Cox’s residency has been built around what the venue describes as unannounced back to back sets and surprise guests, and this booking had been on the public schedule since May, when the full run of Sunday lineups was released. Even so, the sense that it was a season closer for the duo only became clear the following day.
Posting on Instagram on September 7, Digweed described the night as an amazing party with Cox, thanked the club, and confirmed it was the last show on the island for Sasha and himself together this year, signing off with “what a way to end the season” and a promise to return next year. The post passed 4,700 likes within three days, with peers including Darren Emerson and Duncan Forbes among those replying.
One detail worth flagging: We Rave You reported the appearance as a back to back with Cox. The official [UNVRS] listing bills Carl Cox and Sasha & John Digweed as separate acts, and Digweed’s own post does not describe a three way set. Whether the three shared the booth for a stretch or simply split the night has not been confirmed by the club or the artists, so we are not treating it as a confirmed b2b.
Why it matters for Sasha and John Digweed
For the duo, the Ibiza farewell lands in the middle of a heavy anniversary year. Their 1996 mix Northern Exposure turned 30 and was reissued as a remastered box set, a project we covered in our piece on the Northern Exposure Redux release. They also headline the returning Zamna Egypt edition in Khoroum Valley from November 20 to 22 and have an open to close date booked at London’s Roundhouse on December 5. Digweed’s own feed also points to a Bedrock night in Buenos Aires on September 19, which explains the flood of Argentine flags in the comments.
Playing a Cox Sunday rather than a standalone show is a fitting way to end the island run. Cox and the pair have shared decades of festival and club bills, and his residency is one of the few Ibiza rooms in 2026 where a long form progressive set still sits naturally next to house and techno without being rushed.
Carl Cox’s second UNVRS season
Cox returned to Ibiza in 2025 after years away, taking Sundays at The Night League’s new venue between Ibiza Town and San Antonio. The 2026 season runs every Sunday from June 21 to October 4 and, according to the lineups published in May, has paired him back to back with Joseph Capriati, David Guetta, The Martinez Brothers, Louie Vega, Dennis Cruz, Nicole Moudaber, WhoMadeWho and Chris Stussy, who has since changed his name to Chris Stassy. Guests across the summer have included Richie Hawtin, Skepta, Honey Dijon, Luciano, Vintage Culture, DJ Tennis and Loco Dice.
The club’s own description of the residency sums up the format in Cox’s words: expect the unexpected, always. The Sasha and Digweed date fits that brief. It was announced months ahead, but its status as the pair’s last island appearance of the year only surfaced once it was over.
What happens next at UNVRS
The residency has four Sundays left. Cox closes it on October 4 with an all night set, mirroring the way he opened the season in June. The venue then moves into its Closing Weekend. David Guetta plays a one off show on Friday, October 9 with a new visual production built for the occasion and a special guest that has still not been named. Saturday, October 10 is the final night of the club’s second season, with Adriatique, Dennis Cruz, East End Dubs, Mochakk, Rafael and The Martinez Brothers on the bill.
For Sasha and John Digweed, the next confirmed stops are Buenos Aires later this month, the Zamna Egypt return and the Roundhouse open to close in December. Digweed’s “until next year” suggests the Ibiza relationship is not over, though no 2027 island dates have been announced. Full details of the remaining Sunday lineups are on the official [UNVRS] website.
