IMS Ibiza has confirmed full details of its programme for 2019 including a number of panel discussions and interviews.

More than 20 leading industry figures will discuss what's described as "the mental health crisis in electronic music" in the wake of the deaths of Avicii and Keith Flint. Luciano, Madame Ghandi, Pete Tong and Professor Green will join Avicii's father and founder of the Tim Bergling Foundation Klas Bergling, and representatives of a number of organisations, in a discussion on the matter.

Ultra has revealed the dates for 2020's festival, just days after this year's edition reached its conclusion. 

The monolithic session will return to Miami on 27th March, running through until 29th March.

Nicole Moudaber, Adam Beyer, Charlotte de Witte, Luciano, Joseph Capriati and more have been confirmed for IMS Dalt Vila 2019 on Friday 24th May.
