When Martin Garrix first took control of Ushuaïa’s stage’s in 2015, Facebook was still cool and TikTok didn’t exist.
Ten summers ago, Garrix debuted at the iconic Ibiza club as a starry-eyed, 18-year-old DJ. He’s now returning for his 10th straight year and celebrating by virtue of an ambitious new residency, “X,” according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
It’s a full-circle moment for the Dutch superstar. Running every Thursday from June 19th to September 25th, the “distinct residency concept” is said to pay tribute to Garrix’s many “career-defining moments” at Ushuaïa over the decade.
“The first time I came to the island was back in 2012 and it’s felt like home ever since,” Garrix said in a press release shared with EDM.com. “This summer will mark 10 years of my residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza… going back, all the way to 2015. A full decade and I couldn’t be more grateful for it! Counting down the days now for the season to start, and I’ll bring some fun surprises.”
The announcement comes as the legendary Spanish party island continues to reconcile the balance between its underground roots and commercial appeal. But Garrix’s enduring presence at Ushuaïa—spanning nearly half his life—speaks to his ability to draw crowds to the White Isle despite its mercurial musical landscape.
