This guide outlines the official Show Stop Procedure for all staff, management, and security teams at 528 Ibiza 2026. This protocol ensures a rapid, coordinated, and safe response to any critical incident or emergency requiring the temporary or permanent cessation of a performance or event.
1. Show Stop Overview:
In the unlikely event that we need to stop the show, it's crucial that all personnel involved understand the procedures outlined in this document. The types of emergencies that may trigger the show stop protocol include:
Incident at the event to trigger a SHOW STOP Protocol
Fire in the rooms or common areas
Terrorist attack
Floods & severe weather conditions
Other
2. Authorised Show Stop Personnel:
Only designated personnel are permitted to stop the show. These include the Production Manager, Head of Security, and/or a representative of the performing artist. Each authorised person will carry a 'Show Stop' pass.
3. Concern for Public Safety:
If there is concern for public safety, the incident will be reported to one of the designated show stop personnel, assessed, and a decision will be made regarding whether to temporarily stop the show, evacuate the premises, or continue with the event.
