"Ibiza" is the twenty-fifth single released by the British electronic band The Prodigy. It was released on March 23, 2015 through the band's official YouTube channel, for their album The Day Is My Enemy. It features English hip hop duo Sleaford Mods. The song is an attack against superstar DJ culture. Liam Howlett explained that "we did a gig in Ibiza, and I'm not a great fan of the place, but it isn't an attack on the island, it's an attack on these mindless fucking jokers that arrive in their Learjets, pull a USB stick out of their pockets, plug it in and wave their hands in the air to a pre-programmed mix."[1][2][3]

The song is to be released as a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl on Record Store Day 2015 with a video set to be filmed in April as well.[4]
