About Martin Garrix

Martin Garrix became the youngest producer ever to top the Billboard Hot 100 when 'Animals' hit in 2013, when he was 17. The Dutch DJ built his sound around infectious, buildable melodies and had that rare knack for making club tracks that also worked on mainstream radio. After 'Animals,' he kept the momentum with 'Scared to Be Lonely' and 'There For You,' collaborating with artists like Dua Lipa and Troye Sivan while maintaining his reputation as someone who actually knows how to structure a dance track. His sets tend to lean progressive—slower builds, layered production, less about banger-after-banger and more about patience with the crowd.

Garrix's shows are methodical rather than frantic. He reads the room carefully, building tension over long stretches. The crowd tends to be patient with him in a way they aren't with everyone—they know something's coming and they wait for it. His production values are slick, his transitions clean.

Known for Animals, Scared to Be Lonely, There For You, Citadel, Forbidden Voices

Martin Garrix + Washington DC

Martin Garrix brought his electronic pop operation to RFK Stadium Grounds in May 2022, playing to a crowd that came for the kind of polished, radio-friendly EDM that's become his calling card. He moved through his catalog with the precision you'd expect—hits like "Animals" and "There For You" landing exactly where they should in a set built around maximum accessibility. The whole thing had the sheen of a well-oiled machine, which is pretty much the point when you're dealing with a producer whose entire brand is built on making electronic music feel inevitable rather than experimental. It's the kind of show that works because it's designed to work.

Live Music in Washington DC

Washington DC's electronic scene has always been more fractured than cohesive—the city's got deep roots in house and go-go, but the kind of polished, mainline EDM that Garrix trades in exists in its own lane here. The city's too invested in its own indigenous sounds to fully embrace the international festival circuit sound. When major EDM acts come through, they're usually playing venues built for scale rather than intimacy, which feels about right for a producer whose appeal is fundamentally about size and reach.

Washington DC road trip to see Martin Garrix?

Stay in Georgetown or Capitol Hill, both walkable neighborhoods with excellent restaurants and bars. Book a table at Kinfolk in Capitol Hill for refined New American cooking, or head to Pineapple and Pearls for something more elaborate if you want to splurge. During the day, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden offers world-class contemporary art without the crowds of the main Smithsonians. Walk the C&O Canal towpath if the weather cooperates. Hit up one of the city's serious record shops like Smash! Records before the show.
