Ben Howard, Mark Ronson, Zane Lowe and Kasabian are kicking off the party as Ibiza Rocks celebrates its seventh year in July.
Boasting an array of headliners throughout the summer, the open-air gigs will run through until September
The line-up also includes Professor Green, Plan B, Chase & Status, Tinie Tempah and Katy B among others.
Playing their first live gig in Ibiza, New Order are set to take to the stage on September 12.
The band's Bernard Sumner said: "The last time New Order were in Ibiza was the second summer of love.
"We were there to record an album and didn't really know what we were walking into.
"By the time we left a few months later New Order, the Happy Mondays and the Hacienda had collided and fused with the Balearics and Ibiza's superclubs.
"New Order and Ibiza are forever entwined. There's no going back so instead we look forward to playing our first ever concert on the island at Ibiza Rocks."
The 16-week Ibiza Rocks gigs will culminate with two closing parties - Two Door Cinema Club on September 19, and Mark Ronson and Zane Lowe on September 21.
Zane Lowe, Musical Director, Ibiza Rocks Group said: "It’s the best line up yet! It's great to have Ibiza Rocks originals like Kasabian and the Kaisers back this year along with the biggest new artists in the world like Ed Sheeran and Tinie Tempah.
"And this year will be the first ever Ibiza Rocks show from Bloc Party. Best. Line up. Yet!"
