As part of the celebrations, the concert organisers have announced that they will be teaming up with Chippenham-based charity Doorway, to help raise funds for the vital work they do within the local community.
Doorway provides vital support to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in North Wiltshire via daily drop-ins where people can access hot meals, a tent and sleeping bag, showers, laundry service, clothes, mobile phones, internet access and a c/o address.
They enable direct access to housing, health, addiction, debt and domestic abuse services via their partner agencies, and run groups and courses designed to improve confidence and skills, helping people build themselves a better life. They believe that everyone is capable of positive change and can achieve their full potential when offered a safe, supportive, non-judgemental environment.
Doorway’s Sarah McClymont said: “We are delighted to be the charity of choice for Classic Ibiza at Bowood in 2025, and are very much looking forward to being part of such a great local event. All money raised will contribute directly towards our valuable work supporting those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness within our community.”
Making a donation to couldn’t be easier, as there’s an option to donate when you purchase your tickets on Classic Ibiza’s website. There will also be various fundraising initiatives taking place at the show, including a £2.50 donation from every programme sold, a recommended £5 donation from press and guest-list entries, as well as collection points at all entry and exit gates. Further funds will be raised at the Doorway shop, selling a range of fun merchandise.
Classic Ibiza raised a grand total of nearly £32,000 on last summer’s tour for charitable causes, an increase of over £10,000 from the previous year.
Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward said: “Through the generosity of our incredible audiences up and down the country we continue to raise even more money for the amazing charities we support. Demand for this year’s show is high, so we hope to raise even more money than ever before. A massive thank you to everyone for their donations.”
This summer’s new-look Classic Ibiza will take you on a high-octane rollercoaster ride of the show’s most popular tracks from its 10 year back catalogue. Known for their work alongside dance music greats like Groove Armada, Robert Miles and Nightmares On Wax, Stephen Hussey’s 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra will be performing more tracks than ever before in a set that is all thriller, no filler.
USO will be joined for the first time by the incredible London Community Gospel Choir, who have recorded with music icons such as Adele, Blur, Madonna and Gregory Porter. Supporting them on the decks are DJ Goldierocks and former Pacha Ibiza resident DJ Jose Luis. For further information, visit: classicibiza.co.uk
