The festival narrative is undergoing a metamorphosis. A predictable, massive, standardised experience is no longer enough. The concept of celebration has mutated into something more intimate, more pure. Something that goes beyond ostentation, that moves away from the crowds and instead embraces genuine connection, the discovery of the unexpected. In this context, Another Future Festival emerges as an invitation to reimagine the festival experience, and it does so in the most unusual and, at the same time, most evocative setting: Ibiza.
With only 100 participants, this unique gathering is a departure from conventionality and a space for creativity, human connection and functional wellbeing. A haven for those seeking something more than the superficiality of traditional festive consumption. Three days in which Liam Aldous, founder and creative soul of the event, invites attendees on a transformative journey that transcends the party. ‘What we are proposing is a guide to survival and growth in an uncertain future,’ explains Aldous, creator of immersive experiences for brands such as Nike, LOEWE, Redbull and Byredo.
‘We are going through strange, turbulent times. So we’ve designed an experience that allows people to reconnect with themselves and with each other, while enjoying what life has to offer: beauty, fun and unexpected moments,’ continues Aldous, who knows how to combine the essence of playfulness with the profound.
After the overwhelming success of previous editions in Marrakech and Tbilisi, the festival lands on the island of its creator’s birth: Ibiza. But this will not be the Ibiza of the tourist postcard or of empty ostentation. This is another side of the island, a place where luxury is not measured by exclusivity, but by shared experience. A microcosm where, at last, hierarchy is forgotten and equality becomes the fundamental principle.
‘If you’ve ever looked at those dazzling brand experiences on social media and wondered ‘how can I be a part of this’, Another Future is designed for you,’ Aldous reflects. Here there is no distinction between the established creator and the emerging talent; everyone shares the same space, creating synergies, exchanging ideas, flowing together in an ecosystem of unpretentious creativity. ‘In our last edition, a jewellery designer was next to a rapper, who was talking to an English teacher, while a META executive was watching them. There are no barriers, no distinctions… and in this space of equalities, that’s where the real magic happens.’
Highxtar will not only be a privileged spectator of this phenomenon, but aligns itself with the festival to give it the visibility it deserves, to bring that unique light that only we can reflect in the most select spaces.
With a programme designed to defy expectations, Another Future promises to be one of the most innovative and ambitious editions in its history. Visionary talks, curated conversations, creative pursuits that will make you question everything you thought you knew about the future. There will be time for reflection, for movement, for sensory enjoyment, all wrapped up in an atmosphere of overflowing creativity.
Highxtar no solo será un espectador privilegiado de este fenómeno, sino que se alinea con el festival para darle la visibilidad que merece, para aportar esa luz única que solo nosotros podemos reflejar en los espacios más selectos.
Con una programación diseñada para desafiar las expectativas, Another Future promete ser una de las ediciones más innovadoras y ambiciosas de su historia. Charlas visionarias, conversaciones curadas, búsquedas creativas que te harán cuestionar todo lo que creías saber sobre el futuro. Habrá tiempo para la reflexión, para el movimiento, para el disfrute sensorial, todo ello envuelto en una atmósfera de creatividad desbordante.
‘Balance will be the soul of the event: between the intellectual, the spiritual and the celebratory. Spaces for sharing knowledge, functional wellness practices and, of course, parties that are not just an escape, but a way to be more aware of ourselves,’ says Aldous.
‘They tell me they want to visit Ibiza, but not the tourist version, but mine, the one with something more to discover,’ he adds. With this festival, Another Future opens the door to secrets of the island that remain closed to the most privileged. An access to an Ibiza that is exclusive, authentic and deeply connected to nature and creativity.
And to make the experience even more unique, exclusive discounts have been secured for attendees at some of the island’s most emblematic hotels. In addition, the main party promises to be one of those nights that define the season.
