An update on the CirclLoco at DC10 facebook page has reported that Ciroloco will be re opening  in DC10 on May 31st 2010. The update reads

Happy 2010 guys…..circoloco never dies!

31 may 2010 @ dc10 Ibiza

As you may all know DC10 has been closed after it was shut down by the authorities, last year in 2009 the club didn’t open for the summer season. It was a closure that upset a lot of people and as people say it all of the time, the shutting down of DC10 brought people to call the end of Ibiza.

Over the last few years the authorities have really been clamping down, as its not my Island, I’m not really in a position to question their decisions. its because of these restrictions that I’m a little dubious that DC10 will open again like it did in the past. As far as I’m aware nothing has changed to let them operate as they did and still operate within their licence.

I personally hope that they do get to re open and stay open, especially if they open on that date as i plan on being there at that time which means i get to go

If it does then i expect it will be one hell of a party to go to and one to remember for anyone that goes.

As i mentioned earlier this week there have been lots of rumour about DC10 opening this Monday June 1st. I have always been sceptical about the club reopening because no matter how much people wanted it to the club knowingly broke the rules. Now DC10 have been told in court that the club will remain closed fo the duration of the ban. The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Balears re affirmed that the reason the club was closed was because they were operating a nightclub with a café-concierto licence which only aloud a capacity of 65 people.

I do feel very sorry for the owners of DC10 as the club has been operating for 10 years now. The club became a victim of its own success (the amount of people going there every Monday) and the enforcement of licenses up to a few years ago. Up until a few years ago a lot of premises had been aloud to operate outside of their licence without any bother. There was then a change in the people who run Ibiza which resulted in the clamp down on premises breaking the terms of its licence. Over the last few years there have been countless stories of bars being closed down for breaking its licence. Bora Bora was the first big name victim which resulted in DJ Gee upping sticks and leaving for Brazil. Kanya in San antonio got closed for a short while and Ibiza Rocks went through a tough time trying to put live bands on in Bar M

The DC10 saga simply boils down to the fact that if they are let of and aloud to open again then the authorities will have just gone against everything they have been doing for the last 2/3 years and they cant do that. Many people see the situation as DC10 being picked on but if you take a step back DC10 are the place that are continuously and knowingly breaking the law when everybody else has fallen into line, this is probably because they had the most to loose.

There are some things that never go away, Things like Oxygen, The Sun and the Moon, People who love to predict the end and the downfall of Ibiza!! Also on that list is the rumour and Gossip surrounding DC10 / Circo Loco in Ibiza!! 

For those of you that don’t know; towards the end of last year DC10 got shut down by the authorities in Ibiza and were ordered to close for 12 months, If you want to catch up you can read my posts DC10 Shut Down For 57 Days, Another blow For DC10 and DC10 Closed YET AGAIN.

Yesterday Mixmag published a post about DC10 moving to BCM in Magaluf!! It has spread to a couple of other websites (not the main ones) and ive had a couple of people email me about this. If you havent seen the article then it is below.

After years of raids and disputes with the Ibizan authorities, and last year’s enforced six week closure, the owners and promoters of DC10 and CircoLoco have announced that they will be relocating the club to another Balearic Island entirely.

The first CircoLoco of 2009 will take place in Mallorcan superclub BCM, while the promoters search for another venue on the island with what they call ‘the DC10 vibe.’

“We hope to return to Ibiza one day”, said Circo Loco’s Olaf Pirlo, “but for now [the authorities] make it impossible. Magaluf is now the true home of the underground”.

Id just like to remind people that yesterday was April Fools Day! The story is no longer on the mixmag site as it was completely fabricated! DC10 is not moving to Mallorca!

Ive been a bit slow on the uptake of this one but, On Monday morning DC10 was closed again by the police. They have been given a €300,000 fine and ordered to close for 1 year.  Mixmag reported that they will still have their closing party, however im not to sure if this would happen at DC10 as the club is now closed after it was open for its appeal, i don’t think their are any more cards left for DC10 to play which means it could be open one last time this summer.

it’s been a wild last week for both the media and dc-10 as a club itself. after having complied with their two-months closure, the next penalty for dc-10 and closure of the club was announced just a few days ago…

so this afternoon, at around 4:30pm, i was really asking myself if the bass is thundering out of the speakers in that house on the fields around the airport…many people on the island weren’t sure if dc-10 would be able to open or not. i was still busy, but when i finally made my way there some time after 6pm, i noticed that YES, there is something going on at dc-10!!! the club was open! and busy! went directly inside, on to the terrace…and aaaah…sunlight through the windows…rené dropping mad music…smiling faces all around…only at that point i realised how much i had missed this place during the last weeks! as you all know, it wasn’t the first time dc-10 was closed, so in a way it wasn’t new for me. but being back there was just GREAT! the terrace was already really busy while the inside bit was still quiet.

A mixmag blog post has an interview with the owner of Circo Loco who insists the party will go on! In the interview he says, go to the Circo Loco Myspace and you will read the truth, in the same blog post they also question Ibiza spotlight who mentioned about all these troubles as you have read on here. He says the party will go on, Now ive been a member of the spotlight forums for many many years and i dont remember a time they have published incorrect information.

After reading that i thought i would read their myspace to see what they had to say about it and guess what??? Ibiza Spotlight were correct so i dont understand how there integrity could be questioned, However their myspace has pretty much resigned to the fact that DC10 and Circo Loco @DC10 is coming to an end and the parties that will happen to the end of this season my very well be the last. They urge people to go and show their support in there final days by flying out to ibiza to party with them one last time.

1 week before the grand re opening of DC10 and the authorities have delt what could be seen as the final deadly blow for DC10. They have now been ordered to close for 12 months and pay a €300,000 fine. These new fines and closure order have been imposed because the club has repeatedly knowingly broken the law by having the parties in a venue with a legal capacity of only 68 people. DC10 have 1 month to challenge the decision and if they do then it is expected they will still open this weekend till the end of the season, however the signs are that these last few parties will be the last parties DC10 may ever have so if you get the chance, Cherish them!

All of this is a blow but shouldn’t really come as a surprise for readers of my blog. I reported back in January this year in a post called DC10 to close about the issues DC10 was going to face this coming year and it seems that one by one they have become true. The sad news is that the reasons they are being closed down are the same reasons it will not open back up as the DC10 everyone is familiar with. After 12 months are they going to have parties knowing they will exceed capacity? I doubt they will some how.

I have read a lot about people blaming the authorities and saying they are targeting the club yet at the end of the day DC10 have always known the situation and i believe they have always known what will one day happen. They have made the most of it and now i feel it has been brought to an end.

DC10 is reopening on the 18th of August 2008. Yes thats 10 days time!! According to their Myspace profile they reopen and they then have only 3 parties befor they close on the 13 october. Unfortunately they have a big gap between the 25th of august and the 13 october when they have their closing party, i expect after loosing so much of the season they will deffinately be open inbetween.

There is also another party being hosted at DC10 called Pandemodium. i know at the moment they are present at the Zoo Project so they seem to be moving to DC10 with the first party on the 22nd which is 2 weeks today.

if i hear any more news then you guts will be the first to know

The 60 day closure order that was given to DC10 last season has risen again and because DC10 only shut for 2 days last season then they must now close for the remainder of the closure order.

DC10 attracts 1000′s of people every year to the island and they also have companies chartering flights to get out there for new year. DC10 has been open all winter doing parties and event organisers are gutted that the authorities have now decided to enforce this now.

looking at it from the authorities point of view they have obviously gone for maximum impact, they aloud the club to open and now they are shutting it down. 2 months of the summer season is almost all of it so if you want to get there this year you will have to start planning for September.

DC is not the only club though, a source close to Amnesia have revealed that they also fear another closing order as happened last year amnesia was forced to close during the summer because of laws that were broken in earlier years!

If it stays shut for the whole duration we will have to wait and see, last year they didn’t close for the whole order so maybe they will have a work around.

Its obviously devastating news for people going to the island in the next 60 days but wait and see, maybe Circo Loco will find a temporary home but im sure for the people that love it DC10 is the only home in Ibiza
