THE world's biggest nightclub is opening in less than a month's time, and they've shared a first look at the building alongside details of the music line-up.
Rising from the roots of what used to be Privilege nightclub in Ibiza, is UNVRS - which is set to become a global destination for clubbing.

UNVRS will open on Friday 30 May, making room for 15,000 fans in the super club that's the size of a football pitch.
While it's kept its recognisable dome feature from its Privilege days, the club has been given whitewashed walls to blend into the island landscape.
To mark its grand opening, UNVRS has unveiled a huge summer line-up of the biggest names in music.
Electronic Dance Music residencies this summer include Eric Prydz's Holosphere 2.0 to Anyma.
There will also be appearances from Jamie Jones, Fisher, Jamie Jones presents Paradise: Sounds of Solaris, David Guetta Galactic Circus, Elrow and the epic return of Carl Cox.
The historic superclub site can accommodate even more club-goers than ever before as UNVRS has upped capacity from 10,000 to 15,000.
The club has also been updated with what it's calling 'next-level technology ' which is 'pushing every event beyond the limits of the traditional superclub' - so expect some incredible and tech-savvy performances.
The party doesn't even stop when you need a bathroom break thanks to the space called 'The Wild Comet' which isn't just a toilet but a fully styled micro-club.
It will be one of the most unforgettable rooms in the venue, with sound reactive lighting and its own DJ booth.
Inside the venue's iconic dome terrace will be a place of peace and quiet where partygoers can take a breather and take in panoramic views over Ibiza.

We already know UNVRS isn't your average club, but it also has food and drink as part of the experience.
Dishes have been specially created to avoid overpowering smells or messy textures.
And drinks are served at optimal temperatures thanks to temperature-controlled storage - so there's no chance of any warm cocktails or beers.
The superclub is opening on a legendary site in San Rafael, Ibiza.
The space has hosted world-class nightclubs since the 70s, most famously it was Privilege from 1994 until 2019.
Opened in 1994, Privilege Ibiza quickly established itself as a monumental force in the world of Ibiza nightlife.
With its immense capacity and eclectic mix of electronic music, Privilege earned its place in the Guinness World Records as the world's largest nightclub - and it's legacy is set to continue.
Privilege's dance floor could accommodate up to 10,000 people and an impressive overhead dome housed a massive swimming pool.
There have been plenty of icons walking through the venues in the past, from the likes of Freddie Mercury, Kylie Minogue and Spandau Ballet.
Tickets for The Opening are still on sale for £130 per person.
For anyone seeking a break after partying it up, here's the lesser-seen side of Europe's wildest holiday island.
And another Balearic island that is set to be huge this year and it's the 'new Ibiza'.

Jude Bellingham's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro and his mum spotted in the stands at England match - one week after influencer's social media return
Jude Bellingham 's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro sat shoulder to shoulder with his mother Denise on Saturday. The pair watched on as the Real Madrid star put in a 90-minute shift during England's 1-0 win against Andorra, which extended Thomas Tuchel 's 100 per cent record at the helm. Harry Kane found the breakthrough five minutes into the second half, after a chance from just yards away was put on a plate for him by Noni Madueke - the nation's all-time top-goalscorer could not miss. At recent matches, fans suggested that there may be tension between Castro, 27, and Denise, 57. But at their latest outing, all seemed well between the two as they stood next to each other as they cheered on Bellingham, 21. With the temperature in the mid 20s in sun-soaked Catalonia, Castro wore a waist-snatching red dress, while Denise sported a white zip-up top and black athletic trousers with white stripes. When Castro accompanied Denise to watch a match in March, many fans picked up on what they thought was a frosty interaction. As the TV cameras panned to the high-end area where Denise was watching the game, a screengrab that circulated on social media appeared to show her giving a side-eye to Castro. A side-eye glance is usually interpreted as expressing disapproval or contempt towards somebody and fans were quick to react to the moment. However, it has since been revealed that the screengrab took their interaction out of context. The start of Castro's relationship with Bellingham was marred by claims about her past along with an escort site hoax. This led to her taking a four-month break from social media, only returning last week, with Bellingham quick to react to her post. She was previously linked with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA stars LaMelo Ball and Terance Mann, while a viral video also claimed that Castro had dated Lewis Hamilton and Jamie Foxx after making tenuous links between social media activity. And, in an emotional monologue on TikTok of more than 10 minutes, Castro, who has more than 600,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, put to bed several false rumours. 'I don't even know where to begin, but I'm going to try my best to just get into it,' she said in a video that was titled 'The hardest part is not speaking the truth, but finding the courage to do it'. She went onto debunk several claims made about her, including allegations of being unfaithful. 'It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life,' Castro added. 'I've never even really spoken on camera too many times, so bear with me. 'Every angle you can think of, people have attacked me, harassed me, been so disrespectful. It's just been too much. 'Let's talk about this dating history. I've had three boyfriends over the last eight years. In 2017, I was in my very first relationship and he's a public figure, so because of that, I've dealt with people talking about me, making up things about me. 'There was nothing on the internet about me prior, so people kind of just made up a bunch of things to justify hating me because of who I was dating at the time. 'And then over the last six years after that, I've dated two people. So three relationships in total.'

Lydia Bright shares message of support from mum Debbie after James Argent's ex Nicolline slammed Towie star & her family
LYDIA Bright has admitted it's been a "whirlwind week" after James Argent's ex Nicoline slammed the Towie star and her family. Yesterday James' ex-girlfriend Nicoline Artursson hit out at his "controlling ex" for causing major issues with their ill-fated relationship. 5 5 5 In an 800-word statement, Nicoline finally spoke in depth about the domestic abuse she suffered at the hands of James, 37, last month. The Swedish beauty. 32, queen was injured after being pushed down steps outside the home they shared in Spain. He was arrested and spent several hours in police cells before admitting a charge of domestic violence in court. Nicoline has claimed former Towie star Lydia - who dated Arg on/off between 2007 to 2016 - was an unwelcome, interfering presence during their year together. Earlier today, Lydia, 34, took to Instagram to share a card that she received from her parents Debbie Douglas and Dave Bright. The message read: "We are so proud of you. Keep your face to the sun and keep shining. Mummy and Daddy." In front of the card, it said: "Keep shining bright." Lydia captioned it: "After a whirlwind week, this is exactly what I needed, a slow morning. "Banana pancakes, Disney on the sofa and a catch up with mum and dad." She also shared a photo of a sunflower that her mum bought her and said it's "a burst of sunshine, positivity and happiness." Lydia's supportive message from her parents comes just hours after James' ex Nicoline issued a social media statement. The model said: "I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say. 'I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. 'I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue.' Nicoline continued: 'After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. 'He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. 'But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history.' Domestic abuse - how to get help DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence. Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship: Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten. Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent. If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers: Remember, you are not alone. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime. Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse. Argent and Lydia's love story started off screen nearly two decades ago when they were teens and their drama-filled romance made legendary TV on the ITVBe show - gripping viewers with its constant twists and turns. They split in 2012, and Argent was accused of calling her a "sl*t" in text messages after learning she'd slept with someone else following their separation. Despite this, they have maintained a close friendship and Lydia views Argent as an uncle to her daughter, Loretta, five. She has stuck by her ex and close friend following his arrest and insists he's not a violent man. A friend who knows both Lydia and Arg very well tells The Sun: 'When it comes to what happened with Arg and Nicoline, Lydia would never condone violence and has made that very clear to James, but she doesn't think that he is a violent man and she knows he deeply regrets the events of that night. "She has stuck by him, even though she doesn't agree with his actions - just as his other mates like Mark Wright have." Lydia was also there for Argent when his weight ballooned to nearly 30 stone amid drug and food addiction. Nicoline Artursson's statement in full It's now been a month. I still can't believe it. My fractures on my body have finally healed but I'm wounded inside. I've been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one - and it almost destroyed me. What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. Behind the pictures, promises and the plans for a life together - the beautiful days - changed into something into sadness with emotional manipulation and eventually physical harm. I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined. I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past. Yes I posted an Instagram story with a simple yes or no question about if your ex should be a part of your present relationship. I felt there were too many people in our relationship: me, my boyfriend and his ex. 'Three's a crowd', they say. I asked so many times if we could be just the two of us, but the answer was a strong NO. I experienced what I can only describe as targeted emotional distress which he allowed to continue. The ex and her family put us through so much misery and false accusations, I won't go into details. They had no reason whatsoever to do what they did to us, but for some reason they wouldn't let go and let us enjoy our love. Everybody knows that real friends support you and want to see you happy. So I posted a story on Instagram. After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. But he didn't. Instead he broke the promise and her controlling behaviour continued. The rest is history. I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured. Thanks to incredible neighbours who heard and saw what happened and acted, I got help. They called police, brought me to safety and ensured the incident was taken seriously. A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past - including exes. Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much - it's all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are. There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse - no matter how much love preceded it. To those who questioned me for staying as long as I did: I stayed because I believed in love. I believed he and we could grow, could heal, could choose peace. But love doesn't survive in chaos. And it cannot survive where violence lives. To every woman reading this: if you've ever questioned your worth, your safety or your sanity in a relationship - this is your sign. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. And you are not alone. To the men: real strength is protection. Real love is safe. Be the kind of man who lifts women up - not one who breaks them down, neither by violence or silence. To the future: never say never. I will get the little family I've always dreamed of and have my dream wedding to symbolise and celebrate true love in front of my dear family and friends. I'm healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise and I will use my voice - not for vengeance but for truth. For every woman who's been silenced by someone who said 'I love you' and then proved otherwise. This is not just my story. It's a reminder: abuse - whether emotional, psychological or physical - has no place in love. 5 5

Love Island is about many things – but love certainly isn't one of them
LOVE Island celebrates its tenth birthday this week – and I confess I watch the show. But I'd rather be frogmarched to the nearest convent, forced to take a vow of chastity and spend the next 50 years doing Hail Marys over my Rosary beads than spend a single second in the Love Island villa. 7 7 And it seems I'm not the only one. Original Love Island winner Jessica Hayes says she was so put off by blokes that she has given up on romance and actually taken a vow of celibacy! Holy smoke. That's probably not the ringing endorsement ITV producers will be rolling out for their anniversary coverage. Now, I'm not some bra-burning man hater. I promise! I can understand why so many young, buff singletons would quite happily shove their granny under the nearest bus to get a ticket to Spain and hook up with fit blokes. The world of dating is hard. Horrible, even. You have to endlessly swipe through apps looking at profiles of tattoo-smothered men posing aggressively in front of the mirror in their gym, or even worse, their loo (yuck) while reeling off impossible demands they expect of any woman. She must be a ten out of ten. She must let him hang out with his mates until 3am. She must be totally attentive to his every need. She must not be demanding. Then comes the awkward first dates. Meeting in a crowded pub (just in case he is not your Mr Right but actually a crazed axe murderer), sipping a gin and slim while you are asked the inevitable roll call of questions. Where did you grow up? What do you do for a living? Do you like travelling? Forget sparks flying, these encounters can be more boreathon than bonkathon. Who wouldn't prefer to hang out in a sun-drenched villa and coupling up with a perfectly chiselled gym bunny? Love Island's Maura Higgins reacts after Tom Walker denies nasty comment But a trip through Love Island's best bits reveals that romance is the last thing you should expect in the villa. Remember when Maura Higgins was getting ready to go to the hideaway with Tom Walker? She overheard him boasting: 'I just want to see if she's all mouth!' as the rest of the cocky lads set about laughing. Maura, sassy Irishwoman that she is, didn't stand for that rubbish. Rounding on Tom, she fumed: 'Are you joking? That's disgraceful, Tom. That's absolutely f***ing disgusting.' Gormless Tom was left gawping like a goldfish as he tried to claim he didn't mean it, was just copying the lads and was really a nice chap after all. Maura had won over the nation's hearts with her straight talking. But she was still in the lonely hearts club herself. Then there was poor Zara Holland, who was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title and crown after having sex with Alex Bowen on the show. Cheeky grin Dissolving in tears as she realised all her hard work had gone down the toilet like so many make-up-stained tissues, the rest of the girls dried her eyes, gave her hugs and told her she will move on to bigger and better things. So what was her fella Alex doing? Staring at the ground, looking bemused and shrugging his shoulders. He may look like an Adonis carved out of stone, but is he really husband material? And there was the time when Jordan Hames asked Anna Vakili to be his girlfriend on the show in 2019. Flashing a cheeky grin, he said he was 'so nervous' to pop the question and told how the couple had 'been through so much' in the villa they could 'literally get through anything'. Apart from two more days together apparently. Just 48 hours later he was cracking on with new girl India Reynolds, staring into her big brown eyes and telling her: 'I feel like I have been gravitating towards you.' Yeah, gravitating a bit like a dodgy Soviet rocket that has exploded in space and come crashing back down to Earth. Anna came storming over to confront and dump him. Romeo and Juliet this ain't. So by all means stick the telly on, tuck into a box of Milk Tray and enjoy Love Island. But trust me, ladies — you are much more likely to get pied than find love across the fire pit. GAME ON! LIONESSES CAN STILL SHINE BRIGHT 7 7 IT has been three years since our proud Lionesses won the women's Euros – sending the nation into a footie frenzy. The stunning victory over Germany was a defining moment in our country's sporting history. And it inspired a new generation of girls to grab a football and get on to the pitch. Our reigning champs are gearing up to defend their title when the tournament kicks off in Switzerland next month. Manager Sarina Wiegman has named her squad. And we have a brilliant chance of victory – even without Millie Bright and her love life saga. So come on, ladies – show the blokes how it's done and go all the way this summer. The whole country is behind you! BENCH BAN SO BARMY 7 MORE grim news of bossy Britain. A lovely pub called The Trafalgar, in Greenwich, South London, put lots of wooden benches outside so people can enjoy a pie and a pint overlooking the River Thames. They had to – it was Covid. Politicians had made it a criminal offence to sup a beverage indoors. But now those fun-hating pen-pushers at Labour-run Greenwich council have ordered the boozer, managed by Vasil Vasilev, to remove half its outdoor seating. Why? The benches are packed with happy punters spending cash and boosting the local economy. And the street is wide enough for pushchairs and wheelchairs to still get down there. I should know – I live up the road. The landlord says that if he is forced to pull down his seating he may have to slash staff to plug the hole in his coffers. I thought the Labour government's number one priority is economic growth? Maybe Chancellor Rachel Reeves should get down to South London, have a word with her comrades in the local council and tell them to lay off our pubs. Let Brits drink beer, I say! WALL? I WILL NAIL IT 7 I'M off round my mum and dad's house this weekend. To build a wall. Turns out sticking a few bricks back on to the front garden wall will set you back thousands and thousands if you ask a professional to do it. So me, my sister and my mum are going to do it ourselves. We have bought the ready-mixed cement and, more importantly, dusted off our chicest dungarees and most fetching headscarves for the task. Who says building stuff is man's work? I am sure we are up to the task. I just hope I don't break a nail. MEG'S MIXED SIGNAL I'M confused. Are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle private citizens who want to keep their kids away from the cameras? Or are they fame-hungry wannabe celebs? The once-royal couple have spent the week releasing videos and pics of their intimate family moments. First it was a cringey video of the pair twerking in the hospital delivery room in a bid to induce the birth of Lilibet. Then Meghan up-loaded photos from their family trip to Disneyland to celebrate their daughter's fourth birthday. Looks like rank hypocrisy to me. TULIP'S PARTY GAMES 7 FORMER minister Tulip Siddiq may be under investigation for corruption in Bangladesh, but that didn't stop the Labour politician throwing herself a glitzy party to celebrate ten years of being an MP. Lucky guests were treated to a free glass of fizz, while Tulip, handed out certificates to party volunteers who had helped her get elected. But the event itself was all rather cloak and dagger. The location was top secret, and guests were only told where to go hours before doors opened. Was she worried about a knock at the door?
