TUI's Holiday Villages has unveiled its entertainment targeting families, with Britain's youngest DJ partnership taking centre stage at the programme's debut.
The duo Half Punk, featuring 10-year-old DJ Steady and 12-year-old DJ Yaya, performed at Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza to mark the launch of family-oriented rave experiences. This comes as the travel company announced its new entertainment programme, including family raves.
The youngsters delivered a crowd-pleasing performance featuring classic hits from Queen and Abba alongside tributes to their musical influences Daft Punk, and celebrated the new entertainment programme as the resort chain introduces dance-focused events.
This comes as research commissioned by TUI found six in 10 parents long for their pre-children nightlife experiences, whilst 67 per cent recreate club atmospheres by dancing with their offspring at home.

This nostalgia for nightlife has translated into measurable demand. Online searches for daytime clubbing experiences and family-friendly rave events have jumped by 53 per cent during the past 24 months, suggesting a significant market for multigenerational dance events.
The trend reflects changing attitudes towards family entertainment, with parents seeking ways to share their musical passions whilst creating memorable experiences with their children.
TUI's entertainment schedule extends beyond dance events to accommodate diverse family interests. Themed evenings include Ibiza Sunsets and Neon Nights, complemented by silent disco sessions for those preferring individual music choices.
Parents with toddlers can access Little Ravers sessions designed specifically for children under three years old within the resorts' crèche facilities.
Traditional holiday activities remain integral, with complimentary options ranging from film screenings to adventure sports like archery and high ropes courses.
The programme operates across Holiday Villages' European and North African properties, continuing through to the conclusion of October's half-term break.
Holiday Villages product & proposition manager Natalie Johnson said: "Guests lapped up Half Punk’s special performance and what a great way to celebrate our new entertainment programme. Although the gig was a one-off, the programme is here to stay at all our European and North African resorts, right across the summer until the end of October half-term.
"And there’s plenty on offer to bring families together from dance parties to pool parties, Bing Bong Bingo to Water polo and canoe games. Plus, for a small extra charge there’s our famous HV football, swim and stage academies throughout the summer holidays.
