Maxi Jazz of Faithless will join her for a special performance, plus there’ll be a poolside-mix from Groove Armada as well as live acoustic set from Morcheeba.

Superstar DJ Pete Tong will be sharing his favourite memories of Ibiza and other special guests on the show will be Christian and Alan Anadon of the famous Ibiza venue, Café Mambo, as well as Ibiza legend and the owner of Pikes Hotel Tony Pike.

Zoe said: “I can’t believe the BBC is allowing me to host a show in Ibiza again, I can’t wait; it’s been over 20 years since I first went there with Radio 1.

“We have some amazing guests on the show that I love including Groove Armada, Morcheeba, the legendary Tony Pike and the hilarious Christian and Alan from Café Mambo.

“We’ll also be playing a lot of Ibiza classics from the past 30 years that I’m sure will bring back a lot of memories for our audience.”
