Loud & Unfiltered | Season 2, Inside Ibiza – Ep 1: Grego O’Halloran

From blowing up balloons at pre-parties to running press and the door at DC10, Grego O’Halloran has seen it all. In our season opener, Grego takes us deep into Ibiza’s club culture — from the essential role of British workers pre-Brexit to the danger of VIP tables overtaking the dancefloor.

We talk artist-led events, the slow fade of traditional promoters, and how DC10’s anti-establishment ethos still sets it apart. Grego also shares what it’s like raising a family on the island — and how Ibiza became home.

Real talk, untold stories, and a front-row seat to the dancefloor.

This week on Loud & Unfiltered, we're joined by Elle McMahon - founder of The Ticket Crowd, a digital agency that specialises in paid ads for events and festivals. Elle gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to sell out shows in today’s competitive landscape, and how data-driven strategy meets creative marketing.

We also dive into her personal journey as a mum of two navigating entrepreneurship with ADHD. From balancing family life to building a business that thrives under pressure, Elle shares it all - candid, sharp, and unfiltered.
