A crowd member of the recent Elrow Town event in Madrid rushed the stage during Paul Kalkbrenner’s performance, appearing to attack the renowned DJ and electronic music producer, per footage shared by attendees on X.
The German techno artist on May 1st was in the midst of his DJ set when the incident occurred. Videos from the ordeal show an unidentified man climbing onto the DJ platform from the crowd and lunging at Kalkbrenner before putting him in a headlock as security personnel intervened.
Security managed to quickly remove the individual from the stage. Kalkbrenner, 47, was not injured in the attack, according to Ibiza 1 Radio 94.1 FM. He then continued his performance.
Neither Kalkbrenner nor his management team had issued a public statement about the incident as of press time.
Esto ocurrió en la tarde de ayer en @elrowofficial.
Plena sesión de Paul Kalkbrenner y un espontáneo salgo a la cabina del MainStage y fue directamente a agredir al Dj y productor alemán.
