Diplo has landed in hot water after organizing an illegal rave at Cala D’Hort, a protected cove on Ibiza’s western coast. The DJ was fined a massive €300,000 by local authorities for staging the unlicensed event in June 2024, right near the ecologically sensitive Es Vedrà.
Despite strict regulations prohibiting gatherings in the area, Diplo promoted the party via Instagram, drawing hundreds of ravers. Officials cited environmental damage, fire risks, and lack of permits in their decision. While fans danced under the stars, local lawmakers weren’t impressed—launching an investigation and issuing one of the steepest fines in Ibiza’s party history.
