“65 classic trained musicians. An avalanche of A-list cameos and one superstar DJ. Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics brought the spirit of Cafe Del Mar to the Royal Albert Hall in all its technicolour, euphoric glory.”
– Nick McGrath. Telegraph
“I never thought I would see the Royal Albert Hall losing it. Everyone on their feet reliving the halcyon days of dance music reinvented by Tong with a full-on orchestral masterpiece that blew the roof off!”
– Russ O’Connell. The Sunday Times Magazine
“The show certainly didn’t disappoint as some of the most well-known dance tracks of all time were given an airing. As a dance music fan myself, I was in my element, as was the rest of the crowd. Everyone was up on their feet and didn’t stop dancing for the full show.”
– Codie Bullen. Daily Mail
“From start to finish the show was electric. A beautiful venue, incredible vocalists, and spectacular orchestra – what Pete & Jules have created over the last 10 years is something truly special. Every track as magical as the one before. An atmosphere so incredible and nostalgic you wanted the night to never end.” – Natalie Boare. ITV
