Alright, Aussie DJs, listen up! Right off the back of the Sold Out UK & Ireland Arena Tour dropping a 2 hour 3 deck vinyl set as special guest with The Prodigy, the rumour mill has been churning, and now it's official: Carl Cox, the undisputed king of the decks, is making his grand return to [UNVRS] for another monumental Sunday residency in 2026.
After last year’s groundbreaking debut, which saw [UNVRS] crowned EDM.com’s Best Club of 2025, the stage is set for an even bigger season, confirming why Ibiza remains the mecca for electronic music.
Last year, Cox famously christened [UNVRS] with a residency that cemented its status as a global powerhouse. Following the warmer sunshine, switching up our winter at his home studio HQ where he is based in Melbourne, Cox is back at what he calls home on the White Isle for the European summer, ready to redefine Sunday nights once again.
The 2026 "Carl Cox Sundays" run promises 16 weeks of pure, unadulterated techno and house mastery, kicking off on June 21st and running through to October 4th.
For those planning a Northern Hemisphere summer escape, this is a non-negotiable addition to your itinerary.
And let’s talk about that lineup. Carl Cox himself will be opening and closing the season with signature all-night-long sets - a true masterclass for any aspiring or established DJ.
But the supporting cast reads like a fantasy festival bill. Prepare for mind-blowing back-to-backs including Cox with WhoMadeWho, Chris Stussy, David Guetta, The Martinez Brothers, Joseph Capriati, Louie Vega, Dennis Cruz, and Nicole Moudaber.
Beyond these epic pairings, expect additional appearances from heavy hitters like Richie Hawtin, Skepta, Honey Dijon, Luciano, Vintage Culture, DJ Tennis, Loco Dice, and the iconic Sasha & John Digweed.
For nearly four decades, Carl Cox has shaped the sound of Ibiza, leaving an indelible mark on its clubbing landscape. His influence is palpable at [UNVRS], and this 2026 run is set to deliver more of those generational dancefloor moments only Cox can orchestrate.
For Australian DJs, whether you're dreaming of making the pilgrimage to Ibiza or simply seeking inspiration for your next set, Cox's unwavering energy and curatorial genius offer a masterclass in staying at the pinnacle of the game. It’s a testament to the enduring power of quality music and an unforgettable experience.
This isn't just a residency; it's a global pilgrimage for dance music enthusiasts. Tickets are on sale now, and with a lineup this colossal, they won't last long.
Start planning your Northern Hemisphere summer or simply soak in the hype from Down Under - Carl Cox at [UNVRS] is going to be immense.
