Despite the recession, a fall in visitor numbers to the island and a trend toward cheaper drinks prices than last year, We Love Space have raised their door tax this year to an eye-watering €70. The big question on everyone's lips: is it worth it? Certainly, enough people were prepared to find out - the club was rammed solid from the moment Addicted arrived.
All tribes unite for Space and the crowd is drawn from the various tribes that descend on Ibiza. Addicted was dancing next to two girls dressed for a Mayfair nightclub in D&G black dresses who looked like they listening to house music for the first time in their lives (they loved it, by the way).
The other big headliner of the evening was Grace Jones. The lady is a legend who needs little introduction. Her inclusion on the line-up was an interesting choice for a club like Space, and provided a source of intrigue that the island was talking about all week in the run up to the night. Unfortuantely, We Love Space put both Guetta and Jones on the line-up at the same time causing much distress for many in the club. After all, if you have paid €70 for a ticket you usually want to see both headliners.
Addicted made our way from the Terrace to the Discoteca at 3am to get a good spot for Jones' set. Jones came on stage half an hour late, but if anyone can be forgiven for being a diva, it's Grace Jones. She bursting out on stage and jumped straight into her seminal hit, Nightclubbing. The crowd approved.
As with all good nights at Space, it ended with a cerveza frio on the premier etage, a great place to meet new people and chill out after a hard night's dancing. To return to the question: is it worth it? The answer is probably yes. It's a lot of money, but at the same time, it's the most famous clubbing experience in the world. And if you come to Ibiza and miss We Love Space, then you are truly missing out.
