Authorities close DC10 once again


The Ibiza hotspot may finally have seen its 'final' party.

Ibizavoice.com is reporting that authorities closed DC-10 this morning mere minutes before Circoloco was set to begin with its penultimate 2008 edition.

The embattled venue was closed earlier this summer, forced by authorities to serve out the remainder of the 60 day ban that had been handed down in 2007. After opening again in mid-August for business, however, last week the Sant Josep Council made the decision to inform the club of yet another sanction: a €300,000 fine and closure for 1 year.

Once again, it seems as if the legal issue is the capacity of the club, which is only officially allowed to have 65 people on the premises at any one time. Ibizavoice reports that DC10 appealed the decision, but that "the Judge refused to retract after balancing the financial interests of DC10 with the obvious discrepancy in the number of people allowed in, and actually attending, the club."

As it stands now, the next time it will be possible for the club to open will be in 2010, but considering how arduous the legal process has been thus far, we'd advise clubbers not to hold their breath. The Ibiza hotspot may finally have seen its 'final' party.comment 26 Comments

Tue, 21 Oct 2008He means mafia in a general sense of a conspiracy, not in an Italian sense.

The Asociación de Discotecas de Ibiza was comprised of Space, Privilege, El Divino, Amnesia, Eden, Pacha and El Divino. Anyway I think teh Asociación de Discotecas eventually broke up over various disagreements but it's these clubs which have the influence on the island.

What also is less commonly known is that Abel Matutes, former Spanish Foreign Minister, is supposedly the largest shareholder in Space and... More

Mon, 13 Oct 2008The Disco Mafia are the big clubs like Space & Pacha, who have a big influence over the ibizan goverment, and use there power to try and get the smaller clubs like DC10 shut down so its more money for them!!

Fri, 10 Oct 2008Have to say that we returned to DC10 this year to find it had changed a lot. No more dancing in the open air on the terrace to good tunes in the afternoon, which to be honest was the best bit in my opinion. We had a pretty shit evening there. Time for something new.......
