Mau P Baddest Behaviour 2026: Pacha Ibiza Gets 10 Big Nights
Dopamine Machine Records · May 15, 2026
Mau P's Baddest Behaviour has never been a subtle proposition — and the 2026 Pacha Ibiza residency suggests that's still very much the point. Ten Wednesday nights running from August 5 through October 7 have just been confirmed, with a guest lineup that mixes tech house heavyweights and minimal underground acts in roughly equal measure.
Ten Nights, One Room, No Compromises
The Baddest Behaviour 2026 programme spans the bulk of the Ibiza summer season, anchoring Pacha's Wednesday calendar with a consistency the club has leaned into across multiple summers. Last year's debut Baddest Behaviour run at the venue established the template: Mau P's own peak-time energy as the through-line, guests chosen to provide contrast rather than more of the same. This edition expands on that logic with a broader and more diverse roster.
All ten dates land at Pacha, starting August 5 and closing October 7. Exact set times and door details are expected to follow the previous year's format, with tiered pricing and early-bird releases in the weeks ahead.
The Guest List: Tech House Heavyweights Meet Underground Credibility
The standout moment on paper comes on August 19, when Joseph Capriati and Sven Väth appear on the same bill. Capriati's driving, red-lining peak-time aesthetic alongside Väth's decade-spanning eclecticism will make that particular Wednesday one of the more talked-about nights of the summer. It's a combination that doesn't quite fit a single box, which is probably the intention.
Loco Dice takes the September 2 slot alongside Toman — a pairing suited to something tighter and more restrained. Dice's minimal-rooted, tension-forward approach has lost none of its edge in live contexts, and Toman brings enough groove variation to keep the dynamic moving. DJ Tennis and Nic Fanciulli follow the week after, rounding out a run of late-September dates that should reward anyone making the trip specifically for underground house programming.
Elsewhere across the ten nights: Seth Troxler, Carlita, HAAi, Sally C, WhoMadeWho, Dennis Cruz, and Anna Tur are all confirmed. That spread covers a fair amount of ground. Carlita's melodic warmth, HAAi's groove-forward sets, and WhoMadeWho's live-influenced energy all bring distinctly different rooms into play under the same Baddest Behaviour banner.
What the Residency Says About Mau P's Broader 2026
This isn't just a summer booking. Mau P announced at the start of the year that 2026 would include a debut album, a new record label under the Baddest Behaviour name, and a clothing line. Details on the music side remain sparse, but the residency positions the brand as something with operational weight behind it — not just a party name but a curatorial identity with enough credibility to put Sven Väth and Loco Dice on the same seasonal lineup.
It also confirms that Mau P's ascent over the past two years has been more durable than the typical streaming-era crossover arc. His output on Beatport, his XS Las Vegas residency, and now a second Pacha run suggest an artist who has built infrastructure deliberately rather than riding a chart moment. The debut album announcement — whenever it materialises — lands against a backdrop of genuine tour momentum.
Pacha's Wednesday Strategy and Why It Works
Wednesday nights have historically been the hardest slot to programme consistently on an island built around weekend momentum. Pacha has responded this summer by anchoring Monday with Sonny Fodera's residency and Wednesday with Baddest Behaviour — two distinct programmes with loyal followings, running in parallel through the same season. The strategy trades on house music's continued commercial strength while keeping enough underground credibility in the guest choices to hold the floor through October.
Baddest Behaviour sits right at that intersection. Mau P's own productions are polished and built for peak-time placement; the guests he books are, more often than not, artists who have been doing this from a fundamentally different angle for far longer. That gap — between the headliner's sound and the guests he invites — is exactly what makes the series worth following across its full run rather than just showing up for one well-billed night.
Full date-by-date lineup details are available via Ibiza Spotlight and Pacha's official channels. The Capriati and Väth night on August 19, and the October closing dates, will likely move first once individual tickets go on sale.
