Flower Power, the psychedelic-themed dance party that has anchored Pacha Ibiza's summer calendar since 1981, is coming to Brooklyn on September 27. The inaugural New York edition takes over Pacha New York in East Williamsburg, with Grammy-winning house pioneer Roger Sanchez and Grammy-nominated producer Nic Fanciulli headlining a night organized around freedom, self-expression and connection.
The event, running from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. for guests 21 and older, was first reported by amNewYork, which described the New York edition as featuring immersive production, theatrical performances and a dancefloor experience inspired by the party's history. According to the outlet, Flower Power carries more than four decades of dance music history behind it, and its arrival slots into Pacha New York's broader September calendar alongside sets from Zhu, Diplo, Indo Warehouse, Sonny Fodera and Blond:ish.
A Brooklyn Homecoming Rooted in Ibiza
Flower Power was created at Pacha Ibiza in 1981 by Pacha founder Ricardo Urgell and is associated with 1960s counterculture and peace values, according to Ibiza Spotlight, remaining ever-present at the club. Under modern Pacha Group stewardship, the same outlet notes, the party's musical programming shifted toward house and disco with international guest DJs, even as it kept its classic hippie aesthetic and theatrical animation intact.
Roger Sanchez, who began his career in New York's late-1980s club scene and rose through the city's underground house circuit per amNewYork, served as resident host for Flower Power's Saturday night summer series at Pacha Ibiza from June through August, according to Ibiza Spotlight. The New York native's résumé includes a 2003 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical, for his remix of No Doubt's “Hella Good,” per Grammy.com.
Nic Fanciulli, described by amNewYork as having a longstanding connection to Ibiza, is part of the current Flower Power residency at Pacha Ibiza and shares headliner billing for the Brooklyn debut. Fanciulli's work includes the Buick Project remix of Tiefschwarz's “Damage” featuring Tracey Thorn. He also founded the UK house and techno label Saved Records, and per Insomniac, celebrated the imprint's 20th anniversary with an international tour across Europe and the U.S. in late 2025.
A Venue Reborn From Bankruptcy
Pacha New York's Stewart Avenue home carries its own recent history of upheaval. In February, Dubai-based FIVE Holdings and lender Axar Capital took over operational management of the former Brooklyn Mirage complex, rebranding the site as Pacha New York, as Hoodline previously reported in its coverage of Alok's sold-out debut at the venue. That transition followed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in August 2025 by former operator Avant Gardner, which cited $155.3 million in debt after safety inspection and permit failures kept the open-air complex closed for its entire summer 2025 season.
The original Pacha NYC operated for a decade as a four-story, 30,000-square-foot venue at 618 West 46th Street in Hell's Kitchen, running from December 2005 until it closed in January 2016. Flower Power's Brooklyn debut marks Pacha's return to New York roughly ten years after that Manhattan chapter ended, giving the brand a new East Williamsburg home with deep Ibiza roots.
What Comes After the Outdoor Season
Flower Power's arrival is part of Pacha New York's inaugural season, which continues to bring internationally recognized electronic artists to the borough. Once the outdoor summer season wraps in October, the venue plans to move events indoors to its upgraded Great Hall, aiming to operate year-round, according to a report from NYC Plugged.
For now, the focus is squarely on September 27, when Flower Power gets its stateside premiere with a lineup built on decades of house music pedigree. Between Sanchez's roots in New York's own underground scene and Fanciulli's ties to the Pacha Ibiza residency, the Brooklyn debut is being framed as a full-circle moment for a party that has spent more than 40 years evolving on the Spanish island before coming to the United States.
