What are you most looking forward to this year?
This tour! Honestly, I’ve been looking forward to getting on the road again for probably the past two years, since the last time we toured, in fact. I never get tired of it. I mean, how could you? I defy anyone to say playing in front of thousands of people could be anything except the ultimate buzz.
What is your favourite Ibiza memory?
Actually, the first time was pretty memorable. It was a crazy place in those days and I was probably a bit crazier then too, which was always going to be a dangerous combination haha! We played a great gig and then went off to enjoy the delights of the island. I was determined to see the sunrise, so found a great spot on a beach and watched it with some friends and a few beers thinking, it doesn’t get much better than this!
Can you recommend a must visit spot?
In the early days it was the clubs, but you know, I’ve always loved gorgeous, sandy beaches. It’s always been my ambition to play a series of gigs on beautiful beaches around the world and there are a few in Ibiza I’d like to play on. I can’t recall all their names but I know we drove up to the north of the island, around San Juan. I hired a jeep, then just drove around, stopping at wherever looked nice, eating great food and just relaxing, you know. I remember getting ideas for a few songs out there, so it’s a special place.
Fave hidden gem?
Someone told me to visit S’Estanyol beach while I was on the island, so perhaps this year is the time for me to check it out after the gig.
What’s your top prediction for this Summer?
Well if I had to really stick my neck out, it would be that Vettel is going to win the F1 Championships this year.
