Martin Garrix, the Dutch producer ranked first in the world five times by the Top 100 DJs poll, played Gunnersbury Park in Acton on Saturday 16 August 2025. It was his largest UK headline show, before about 25,000 people.
Born Martijn Garritsen in Amstelveen in 1996, he decided to become a DJ after watching Tiësto at the 2004 Olympic opening ceremony in Athens. He taught himself to produce on FL Studio.
“Animals”, released in 2013, made him the youngest person to reach number one on Beatport. In 2014, at seventeen, he became the youngest headliner of Ultra Music Festival.
His singles include “In the Name of Love” and “Scared to Be Lonely”, with Dua Lipa. He founded the Stmpd Rcrds label in 2016 and has held residencies at Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza.
The show was his first in London for seven years and closed the park’s 2025 summer concert series, promoted by Festival Republic. He walked on to “Gravity” and ended on “Inside Our Hearts”, his new collaboration with Alesso.
Steve Angello, joined by Sebastian Ingrosso, opened with a 75-minute set. Arcando appeared as a guest, and Libby Whitehouse sang “Sleepless Nights” live.
