Hotels for Pete Tong Presents Ibiza Classics

Ibiza Classics takes the White Isle's biggest anthems and hands them to a full orchestra, with a DJ still driving the set from behind the strings and brass. Expect the likes of trance and house staples reworked as singalong crescendos, the kind of thing that turns a midweek evening into something closer to a reunion.

The crowd tends to skew towards people who were actually there the first time round, plus a fair few who only know the songs from other people's playlists. A 6pm start makes for an early night out, so there's time for a proper dinner either side of the music.

Set right in the heart of Birmingham beside the canals and Brindleyplace, this city-centre arena hosts big-name concerts, boxing and family shows. Its location is a real draw, with waterside bars, restaurants and the buzz of Broad Street all within a short walk. New Street and Snow Hill stations are close, and the wider West Midlands is easy to reach. Booking a central room means you can enjoy the canalside dining before a show and be back at your door within minutes afterwards.
