About

Palisade Security is a New Zealand–based event and festival security company built on a people-first approach. We specialise in festivals, live music events, community gatherings, and large-scale activations, providing calm, professional, and approachable security teams who understand that presence matters just as much as protection. Our focus is simple: de-escalation over force, communication over confrontation, and safety without intimidation. Every Palisade guard is trained to operate with respect, clarity, and situational awareness — working alongside organisers, crew, artists, and patrons to create safe, welcoming environments where events can thrive. We understand the unique pressures of festivals and live events: long hours, rotating crowds, high-energy environments, and fast-changing risk profiles. Our team is built for exactly that. Our services include: • Events & multi-day event (Festival) security • Crowd management & access control • Gate & ticketing support • Patrols & overnight site security • Incident reporting & compliance support • Short-notice & contract security staffing Palisade Security works closely with event organisers to tailor coverage — ensuring the right number of staff, the right attitude, and the right systems are in place. We don’t just guard spaces — we help events run better.
