The Showstop Procedure: The best way to ensure event safety in an emergency
May 15, 2025
Mark Hamilton, strategic, tactical and operational advisor with over 50 years’ experience in security, Paul McCartney among his long-term clients, and equally independent crowd, security, event and fire safety consultant, Steve Allen, have teamed up to develop and deliver the new Showstop Procedure course.
Principal consultant with Crowdsafety.org since 2014, Steve toured with any number of big acts, Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beastie Boys among them, and came up with a formal showstop procedure while working with Oasis in the 1990s. It’s something he’s instigated 32 times around the world, “Never a problem. No injuries, no deaths, no problems with the promoters, the artists, and happy fans who go home safely”
In this episode, the two global crowd safety expert consultants for Pink Bows Foundation dicuss the reasons for a showstop, preparation for that potential on an event site, training/getting the procedure right, and the dangers of indecision.
