Ibiza Rocks, a renowned hotel and music venue on the island, has announced a pause in its planned events after two separate incidents resulted in the deaths of British men. The first tragedy involved Gary Kelly, 19, who fell from a balcony on Monday, while Evan Thomson, 26, died earlier this month under similarly serious circumstances. The venue expressed its "deep shock and devastation," stating it has prioritized guest safety in light of these unfortunate events and has made the decision to cancel its scheduled programming out of respect for those affected.
According to Spain’s civil guard, Kelly’s death appears to be accidental, which has led the venue to cooperate closely with the relevant authorities during the investigation. The Foreign Office confirmed they are providing support to Kelly’s family and maintaining communication with local officials.
Gary Kelly, hailing from Scotland, was known for his involvement in ice hockey, playing for the Dundee Stars. The team mourned the loss, depicting him as a "hugely talented and charismatic individual." The organization's statement reflected the profound impact of his untimely passing on friends and colleagues alike.
Evan Thomson’s mother paid tribute to him on social media, revealing he had been vacationing with friends when the tragic accident occurred. Her heartfelt message captured the collective grief felt by family and friends over his loss.
Ibiza Rocks had planned several notable events, including a dance party and performances by popular artists such as Dizzee Rascal and Rudimental, to celebrate its 20th anniversary. However, the venue has not detailed the extent of the cancellations but promised to inform affected customers soon.
The venue, located in San Antonio, is celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere combining hotel accommodations with a lively entertainment scene, including day pool parties and musical showcases. As investigations continue, the community reflects on the profound loss experienced in recent weeks.
