This weekend saw one of the best Radio 1 weekend's in their history on the white isle. Ibiza is booming this year, the busiest the island has been in five years as suddenly Ibiza is back in vogue.  It all kicked off on Friday evening at the new pearl of the island, the Ushuaia beach hotel which had a reported £1m spent on it over the winter to transform what was a cool beach bar into a spa hotel paradise. Yet again Radio 1 let everyone in for free instead of forking out up to 60 euros for a night out and 4000 party heads took up their offer. Highlights included Professor Green, Calvin Harris and Example up on stage.
