In a shocking turn of events at Elrow Town Madrid on May 1st, German techno maestro Paul Kalkbrenner was assaulted during his live performance on the Hallucinarium Stage. Amidst the vibrant chaos typical of Elrow's immersive festivals, an overzealous attendee breached security, leaping onto the DJ booth and attempting to place Kalkbrenner in a headlock.
Quick-thinking individuals, including fellow artist Stephan Bodzin, intervened promptly, subduing the assailant and restoring order. Remarkably, Kalkbrenner sustained no injuries and continued his set, embodying the adage that the show must go on.
This incident has sparked discussions about security measures at large-scale music events. As festivals grow in size and spectacle, ensuring the safety of performers and attendees becomes increasingly paramount.
