Electronic dance music star DJ Martin Garrix is set to kickstart his biggest-ever India tour next month - his first time since 2018. Speaking in an interview, he said the musical outing will surely rekindle his love affair with the country.
“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 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.”
Garrix said, “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, “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.”
The DJ looks forward to collaborating with an Indian musician during his tour. When asked if he had a name in mind, he said, “I don’t have a specific artist that comes to mind right now, but I’m definitely always open to working with other musicians.”
