The latest Working With Crowds project is officially under development, now featuring a comprehensive list of crowd-safety-related event interruptions dating back to 2020.

We’re bringing together global data on concerts, festivals, sporting events, and venues where safety concerns forced a show stop, delay, pause, cancellation, or evacuation.

Why this matters: Individually, these look like isolated news stories. Collectively, they reveal critical patterns in:

How emerging risks are identified on the ground
How and when interventions are triggered
How performers, event organisers, security, and emergency teams respond under pressure

What’s next? The archive is continuously expanding as new incidents are verified. To share deeper research, timelines, and raw video analysis safely, the project will also be supported via Patreon and a secure Working With Crowds platform (existing members retain full access).
This is built to be a growing international resource for crowd managers, event safety specialists, venue ops, and emergency planners.
