LICK Algarve is preparing to close its doors permanently at the end of summer 2026 and says goodbye with a special program that promises to mark the last season of what was one of the most emblematic spaces for electronic music in the south of the country.
The club, located in Boliqueime, between Vilamoura and Albufeira, will host five themed nights in partnership with FABRIK Madrid, one of the most prestigious European references in clubbing culture and currently ranked eighth in the DJ Mag 2026 world ranking.
According to the organization, this program represents “the last chapter of a club that marked generations, welcomed some of the biggest names in world electronic music and helped to consolidate the Algarve as a reference destination for clubbing culture”.
LICK’s farewell will feature events signed by the brands CODE and LOOP, two of the most influential structures in the Spanish electronic scene. The opening takes place on July 31st with CODE, considered a reference in Spanish underground techno.
The first night will be headlined by Fatima Hajji, one of the most recognized figures in international hard techno, accompanied by Portuguese DJ Ornella and residents César Almena and Nuke.
The organization describes this date as “a season opening marked by intensity, CODE’s sonic identity and the symbolic weight of inaugurating LICK’s latest programming”.
The following day, August 1st, Joseph Capriati, an Italian DJ and producer considered one of the main figures in world electronics, takes to the stage, in what will be LOOP’s debut in the Algarve.
The Martinez Brothers and Paco Osuna among the final highlights
The program continues on August 7th with a performance by The Martinez Brothers, an American duo associated with the international house scene and a regular presence in Ibiza. The night will also feature the Brazilian Classmatic.
On August 8th, LICK hosts a collaboration between LOOP and MASAKA, dedicated to afro-house, with performances by Mickey Dastinz, Danni Gato, Breyth and Djeff.
The official closing takes place on August 22nd with Paco Osuna and the Now Here brand, in a night that the organization defines as “simultaneously celebration, tribute and farewell”. The Spanish DJ will be accompanied by Ilario Alicante in what will be the last event in the history of the Algarve space.
The statement also highlights that “LICK does not close as just another club”, highlighting the impact of the space on the Algarve nightlife and the affirmation of the Algarve as a destination associated with electronic music and nighttime entertainment.
Tickets for all events are now available.
