Pacha – the world’s most spectacular music and entertainment experience – launched its first ever Australian residency at Sydney’s ivy last night. The Pacha professional dancers, aerialists, street performers, psychedelic projections and lighting took over the surrounding laneways and turned every corner of Sydney’s only rooftop pool bar, ivy Pool Club, Changeroom and ivy’s two-storey open-air courtyard into a haze of activity.

Pacha Ibiza founder, Ricardo Urgell made the special trip from Ibiza to Australia for the launch. Ricardo and Merivale CEO, Justin Hemmes hosted a private dinner at ivy’s Felix restaurant for 150 special guests including Mel B, Stephen Belafonte, Kate Waterhouse, Luke Ricketson, Firass Dirani, Danielle Spencer and Sally Obermeder. After enjoying a specially created menu, Justin and Ricardo ushered their guests up into ivy to join the rest of the 1,500 VIPs in the Pacha Sydney party.

In the Pacha Sydney party, guests sipped on cherry red cocktails with names like Ibizan Touch, Cherry Pash and French Touch while two of the world’s biggest DJs, Martin Solveig and Laidback Luke, entertained the crowd alongside Pacha Ibiza resident DJs Matt Caseli and Mo’Funk.

Much more than a traditional night club, the Pacha parties at ivy are a mad burlesque of circus, dance and sensory overload; a wicked romp through the dark alleys of the imagination. A world-class, specially appointed Pacha Sydney creative team have mastermind a concoction of theatrics, dance, music, light and costumes experience that engages, entertains and amazes.
