As if the heavens themselves had chosen to take part in musical history, HALIENE found her most extraordinary stage yet, performing her second album, ‘Eclipsed’, beneath an exceptionally rare celestial event: Ibiza’s first total solar eclipse in more than 120 years, and what is believed to be its first sunset totality over 3,000 years.

On August 12, 2026, HALIENE and her husband, longtime production and DJ partner Matthew Steeper, performed the album from beginning to end as the moon moved across the setting sun, culminating in totality just above the Mediterranean horizon. In an extraordinary convergence of music and celestial timing, the performance reached its defining moment during “Eclipsed By You,” HALIENE’s collaboration with Ilan Bluestone, as the moon completely obscured the sun while it hung low over the horizon.

Few places could have provided a more fitting setting. One of Europe’s most celebrated sunset destinations and the spiritual playground of dance music, Ibiza became the meeting point of music, landscape and one of nature’s rarest spectacles. Conceived to celebrate both the release of Eclipsed and the August 2026 eclipse, the performance transformed the album’s central imagery of light, shadow and celestial connection into something unfolding in real time.

Billed as A Total Solar Eclipse Performance, HALIENE delivered Eclipsed in its entirety beneath the shifting light and shadow of the eclipse. With cameras rolling throughout, the performance captured every song against the changing sky, from the final moments of daylight through the breathtaking darkness of totality.Running the eclipse’s duration, HALIENE delivered a moonstruck song-by-song, note-for-note performance through ‘Eclipsed’. Among its many highlights were the spellbinding ‘Solar Waves’, recent single ‘Right Love’, the irresistible pull of ‘Orbit’ and the dazzling ‘Heaven Left A Light On’. As the set unfolded, each track from her new pantheon collection was given its moment to shine, framed against the magnificent villa vistas of La Isla Blanca.

And then, right on cue, as the moon slipped fully in front of the sun, HALIENE delivered her and Ilan Bluestone’s spellbinding ‘Eclipsed By You’ - a truly show-stopping, once-seen, never-forgotten visual touchstone.One of the most extraordinary collaborations in recent dance music, you can watch HALIENE’s A Total Solar Eclipse Performance now, on YouTube here. ‘Eclipsed’, HALIENE’s daring and astonishing second album, is out now, and available across all major streaming and sales platforms here.
