Electronic dance music star DJ Martin Garrix is set to embark on his biggest ever India tour next month, and he admits that the musical outing will surely rekindle his love affair with the country. He will be performing in the country for the first time since 2018.

“I have been looking forward to this (coming to the country for multi-city performances) for a very long time. I can’t wait to be back in India and party together with all the fans. I think especially after the pandemic we appreciate being able to go to live shows even more, so I have definitely been able to feel that in the crowd’s energy the past year,” says Garrix.

The Dutch DJ, known for tracks such as Animals and Don’t Look Down, has performances lined up in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Ahmedabad. For Garrix, performing in India is always special as “a part of my most loyal, biggest fan base is out there in India, so touring there will always be special.”

“Indian fans are very loyal and really go next level when it comes to their support. Even some of my biggest fan pages are from India,” he adds.

In fact, he will usher in the Holi festivities with his performance in Pune in the first half of the day and then head to Mumbai to perform in the latter half of the day.

“For me, India is such a special, unique country. Every time I am here, I get inspired by the people, the culture and also at the shows, there is so much energy and love from the fans,” says the artist, credited for wildly popular tracks such a Scared To Be Lonely, In the Name of Love, and Summer Days
