The results are in for Classic Ibiza's annual track poll with five songs now added to the Hatfield House setlist.
Classic Ibiza returns to Hatfield Park on Saturday, August 19.
Over Easter the show’s 40,000 social media followers had the opportunity to vote for the tracks they most wanted to hear performed live by the 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra (USO).
The five most popular tracks selected from a shortlist of ten will be added to an orchestral set of over 30 house classics, including ten other new orchestrations and some firm Classic Ibiza favourites.
With over 5,000 votes now counted, the five winning tracks have been announced. They are:
- Silence (Delerium, Tiësto, Sarah McLachlan)
- King of My Castle (Wamdue Project, Roy Malone)
- Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) (C & C Music Factory)
- On a Ragga Tip (SL2)
- Need You (100%) (Duke Dumont, A*M*E).
Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward said: “We’ve all been to concerts before hoping to hear our favourite track, only to leave slightly disappointed when it’s not played.
"Our annual track poll, which is always hugely popular, gives our incredible Hatfield House audience the opportunity to do something about that. All I can say is that it’s a good thing they’ve got taste!”
Gates at Hatfield House open at 5pm, with the show starting with a Chill-Out DJ Set.
Former Pacha Ibiza resident, DJ Jose Luis, then takes control of the decks for his Latin House Set, which includes a live jamming session with members of USO.
Next up, USO and DJ Goldierocks take centre stage for the Sundowner Set, followed by Goldierocks’ Deep House DJ Set.
The show then reaches a rapturous crescendo at 10.30pm, following USO’s return to the stage for the Dance Set, accompanied by a laser and light show.

Lisa Ward, from Revival Productions, added: “We’re blessed with a loyal audience who love to come to Classic Ibiza every year.
"Our challenge is to make sure we always serve up something fresh and exciting to keep them coming back. The tracks we play are obviously a major part of that.
"Having already heard some of the new orchestrations, I know our Hatfield House audience are going to love what we have in store for them this summer.
"We’ve also once again upped the ante on the show’s visuals – it’s going to be awesome.”
Demand for tickets to Classic Ibiza’s 2023 summer tour are once again high, with some venues already sold-out.
Classic Ibiza promoters are proud to be supporting Hatfield-based charity Herts Young Homeless. There will be various fundraising initiatives taking place on the evening, including a £2.50 donation from every programme sold.
