The doors remained firmly shut on Friday night at Privilege, but don’t blame the government this time...

Ibiza is, by its very nature, full of surprises. That’s why we love it so much. But even by Ibicenco standards the summer of 2007 has been bursting with unexpected incident.

The latest twist? The 11th hour (quite literally) shutdown of Manumission on Friday night.

Only this time the police and politicians weren’t to blame – it was Privilege owner José María Etxaniz himself who gave the order to shut the doors after an almighty bust-up with Manumission promoter Andy McKay over unpaid fines.
