A record-breaking number of votes have been counted and the results are in for DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs Poll 2016 powered by Miller Genuine Draft. It won’t be a surprise to islanders to hear the top spot has been bagged by an Ibiza club!
The Top 100 Clubs Poll is the definitive list of the best clubs on earth – from small intimate venues to huge, large-scale temples to electronic music – and this year’s edition has a new winner, Space Ibiza.
Over 450,000 votes were cast in the Top 100 Clubs Poll 2016, with clubbers voting from across the world. This year’s victory marks Space Ibiza’s fourth win, beating their own record from 2014.
2016 will be the final time you’ll see the legendary venue in the Top 100 Clubs Poll, as this will be the venue’s final year of operation. Widely regarded as one of the greatest clubs of all time, the Ibiza superclub has stood on the same site for over 25 years, and will close its doors at the end of the summer.
With Space taking the top spot, and three of the island’s clubs in the Top 5, The White Island is as strong as ever.
However, this year’s poll welcomes a strong show from Brazil and the Americas too as well as new venues in Indonesia and Thailand, while China is proving that ‘superpower’ is an apt term for their club scene as well as their economy.
