'SPECIAL Guest' appearing on a DJ session's flyer might make revellers think they're about to enjoy an up-and-coming band or artist, perhaps one they haven't yet heard of and will be able to brag about seeing live before they were famous – but one of Ibiza's top nights had a much bigger card up its sleeve.
Electro-pop band Lufthaus performed at 528 Gardens in Benimussa, in Sant Antoni de Portmany – otherwise known as San Antonio – and their 'support act' was none other than former Take Thatter Robbie Williams.
Could it be magic? Well, it was certainly a surprise for those who'd bought tickets for a night of poolside club music, especially when legendary Robbie gave a full hour-and-a-half-long concert.
The Let Me Entertain You, Feel, and Rock DJ star, now 48 and having been so successful as a soloist that he's been a fan-favourite of a whole generation born too late to experience the Take That furore, delighted clubbers and put Lufthaus' name on the map ahead of a string of gigs it has planned for the rest of the summer.
Producers behind Lufthaus, Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis, have already worked with Robbie Williams on several tracks, and the Stoke-on-Trent-born singer and songwriter is still very active with no sign of bowing out of the music scene.
But the double act had never been seen live before, meaning 528 Gardens' partygoers were witnessing a world première.
Lufthaus went on to perform at Ibiza Rocks, with special guest Doorly.
Ibiza Rocks has poolside sessions with unconfirmed artist and DJ line-ups on the next five Sundays – August 28, and September 4, 11, 18 and 25, with standard tickets costing €25 – although for August 28, an early-entry (before 16.00) pass is still on sale for €15.
