Michael Bibi’s One Life Tour Ends on a High Note at Ushuaïa Ibiza
Michael Bibi concluded this summer’s One Life tour with an unforgettable final show at the renowned Ushuaïa Ibiza on September 20. This much-anticipated performance showcased his unique sound and centered around a message of celebration and resilience, captivating fans on the iconic island. Ushuaïa, famous for its exceptional production quality and prime location, set the stage for Bibi as he delivered a memorable performance that resonated deeply with his audience.
The evening commenced with stunning opening sets from Josh Baker, Chris Stussy, and Salomé Le Chat, each showcasing their distinctive styles and escalating the atmosphere as dusk approached. The Ushuaïa Ibiza experience was further enhanced by breathtaking visuals, including a striking butterfly installation suspended above the DJ booth, symbolizing transformation and complementing the immersive nature of the event.
This tour embodies a powerful message of resilience and appreciation, stemming from Michael Bibi’s personal battle with cancer. After being diagnosed with CNS Lymphoma in 2023 and stepping away from the stage for nearly a year, Bibi triumphantly returned to music earlier this year, cancer-free. The One Life tour included stops in London, Sevilla, Lecce, and Ibiza, serving not only as a celebration of his artistic journey but also as a heartfelt acknowledgment of the support he received from family and the global dance music community. This gratitude is intricately woven into his new, unreleased music.

As Bibi stepped onto the stage for his three-hour performance, the atmosphere reached electrifying heights. Renowned for his skill in reading the audience, he curated a set that resonated with the Ushuaïa Ibiza crowd, blending a more commercial vibe with his underground roots.
A highlight of the evening occurred when Bibi welcomed two trumpeters onto the stage, integrating live instrumentation with his familiar tracks. In a touching moment, his father, Robin Bibi, also joined in on guitar for a remix of Guy Gerber’s “Bocat,” creating a special connection between father and son. Adding a playful twist to the night, Bibi surprised the audience with a deep-tech remix of the hip-hop classic “Lollipop,” catching everyone off guard.
As with all One Life events, a portion of ticket sales benefited Anthony Nolan, the hospital instrumental in Michael’s recovery. The world-class production at Ushuaïa Ibiza, characterized by dazzling lighting and pristine sound quality, ensured that this One Life tour stop was both unforgettable and distinct.
