Techno sensation Indira Paganotto stunned fans at her final Artcore Showcase of the year in Barcelona—not only with her signature high-energy set but with an unexpected act of fearlessness that ended in injury. As the night reached its fever pitch at Hivernacle Pop-Up Club on November 22, Paganotto leapt from the stage in an attempt to connect with her adoring crowd. Instead of landing in a sea of outstretched arms, she fell hard, fracturing her leg in the process.

The Spanish-Italian DJ, celebrated for her electrifying performances and unique blend of psytechno, quickly updated followers from the hospital, sharing photos of her cast and wheelchair along with heartfelt words of gratitude. “I jumped off the stage to be with you and left the club with a broken leg, but I would do it a thousand times again. You gave me the craziest energy of my life, and I wanted to give you everything back for this last dance of 2025,” Paganotto wrote on social media.

A wave of support swept across the electronic music community, with fans and fellow artists praising her dedication and wishing her a swift recovery. Despite the circumstances, Paganotto remained remarkably positive, vowing to use this downtime to return “stronger, louder, and even more united” in 2026.

The injury brings a dramatic close to a turbulent but triumphant year for Paganotto, marked by acclaimed sets at Coachella, her Ibiza residency, and her expanding Artcore label. While no official tour changes have been announced, she is expected to take a short break before major festival dates in 2026.

Her story is yet another testament to the deep connection and fearless spirit she brings to every stage—a reminder that sometimes, true passion comes with risks. The techno world is already looking forward to her comeback.
