Martin Garrix is a superstar DJ in his own right.
3-time No.1 DJ on the DJ Mag Top 100!
He became the youngest DJ to headline the huge Ultra Music Festival at the age of only 17!
He's worked with Dua Lipa, Macklemore, Bebe Rexha, Ed Sheeran, Major Lazer & more
The list of achievements are endless... oh and he's only TWENTY FIVE!
But when two musicians from Dublin, who happen to be in the world's biggest rock band agreed to collaborate with him on the Euro 2020 Anthem he was star struck himself!
He also chats about 'Area 21' his massive animation/music project with Major Lazer and getting back to playing live. And he chats about his hero Tiesto. (Listen to Fergal chat to Tiesto about the time he became a great mentor to Martin Garrix here)

Martin told Fergal Darcy that it was an honour to work with Edge and Bono and he talks about the process of making the song which they had to keep secret after it was finished in 2019!
I was so excited and stoked. Bono and Edge came on board after I sent them a rough demo. Bono changed all my lyrics hahaha!! I loved it and it felt so organic.
