The year was 2013 and ‘Animals’ was becoming a really popular song not only in clubs but also in college festivals and house parties in Mumbai as people were held in a different kind of trance that kept them hooked. By then, the song had already become popular around the world, and it didn’t take long for people to know about Martin Garrix, who was only 16 years old at the time. Today, he is one of the best DJs in the world and his work speaks volumes.
The Dutch DJ and record producer returns to India for a country-wide tour yet again but for the first time since 2018 and the Covid-19 pandemic. Coincidentally, this year also marks 10 years since he released the song that propelled him to fame around the globe. Over the years, the 26-year-old has released many tracks after ‘Animals’ including `In The Name of Love` (2016), ‘Scared To Be Lonely’ (2017) and most recently `Hero` (2022). The two-time MTV EMA winner, who has been ranked as the Number 1 DJ around the world right now, has played at some of the best music festivals including Tomorrowland, Coachella and Ultra Music Festival to name a few.
Garrix comes to Mumbai after starting off his tour in Bengaluru on March 3, followed by Hyderabad on March 4 and Chennai on March 5 before coming to Pune and now Mumbai to celebrate Holi before he heads to Kolkata on March 8, followed by New Delhi on March 11 and finally Ahmedabad on March 12.
