About Martin Garrix

Over the past few years Martin Garrix has established himself as a behemoth in both the electronic and pop worlds. If 2013 was his breakthrough year, 2016 and 2017 were the years in which he staked his claim as more than a dance music A-lister. The synergy between his incredible studio work and the explosive energy of his shows is undeniable, and has propelled him to the #1 spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100.

Garrix has become one of electronic dance music’s youngest superstars, amassing a chart-topping, high-streaming musical legacy along the way. Martin's move into the world of pop and the mainstream at large should come as little surprise. His debut Animals went to No. 1 in the UK, a true crossover track that was created with nothing more than the dancefloor in mind. He quickly embraced his appeal to the wider world; collaborating with megastars like Tiësto, Avicii, Usher and David Guetta. Most recently he released another stunner of a single: So Far Away featuring David Guetta, Jamie Scott & Romy Dya.

Martin Garrix performs at the biggest festivals in the world from Coachella and Lollapalooza to Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland.

About Steve Angello

A pioneer of the Stockholm underground turned icon of the global dance music scene, Steve Angello will also feature on the bill. From the billboard charts to the club floor, Angello is firmly at the top of his game having taken the reigns at famous stages across the globe. He boasts annual residencies for Ibiza’s most prestigious night spots.

About Zara Larsson

The Swedish singer, who released her sophomore album, 'So Good' in March 2017, will return to Belfast playing hits Lush Life, Never Forget You & more outdoors, for the first time with a sold out Belfast Waterfront crowd fresh in her memory.
