What was supposed to be a night at UNVRS with John Summit’s Experts Only turned into hours of uncertainty after a power cut hit the venue around 12:30am on July 21. The outage disrupted the event mid-swing, and while power briefly flickered back on before failing again, staff spent hours trying to resolve the issue without confirming whether the show would resume or be scrapped entirely.
For the crowd outside, the technical problem became secondary to a longer wait. Attendee accounts on Reddit painted a picture of a night spent standing in line with little communication, one person noted they were kept waiting from 1am with no updates, while another said the venue never addressed the situation on social media until well past 2:30am. A separate comment pushed back on a staff explanation that the outage hit the whole area, pointing out that nearby venues appeared to be running as normal. Those accounts are unverified individual reports rather than confirmed reporting, but they reflect a consistent frustration with how the delay was handled.
Around 2:45am, with hundreds reportedly still waiting outside, the cancellation was made official. Summit addressed it directly on his Instagram Story, attributing the call to a local power cut and confirming refunds would be processed through ticket providers. What’s still missing is the full picture, neither UNVRS nor local officials have released technical details on what caused the outage or how long it had been affecting the venue before the cancellation came through, leaving the incident as the latest flashpoint in a summer already marked by scattered power concerns across Ibiza.
