The implication was that people go out at night to forget their problems and indulge in an unknown world far away from ordinary routine. Antonio thought hard about this until he came across the name, The Workshop of Forgetfulness. Now all that was left was to christen the discotheque. One fine day in May 1976, Antonio made a deal with the landlady of the house and she rented it to him for 20.000 pesetas (120€) a month. In the mid 70’s arrived Antonio to Ibiza, a young man from Madrid who was looking for a new beginning.

This was when the most recent history of our discotheque really began. They sold their ‘finca’ (country house) to a widow from an aristocratic background. In March 1970 the Planells family decided to end their long life in the countryside and moved to a flat in town. They cultivated the land and built a mill out of stone. Five generations of the Planells family lived within its thick whitewashed walls. And this was just the start as there are many more events lined up for the rest of the summer that are sure to take things to an all new level.The house where Amnesia now stands was built at the end of the XVIII century. The club proved once again why it’s one of the most iconic venues not just in Ibiza, but in the world, with top level headliners and cutting edge produciton.
