Martin Garrix just walked off the EDC Las Vegas 2026 kineticFIELD owl mainstage and the field is still holding the chant. Sunday-night peak hour at a 30th anniversary edition — the slot the festival hands to whoever it believes can hold a 100,000-strong room at the moment everyone is most alert and most committed — and Garrix delivered the kind of one-after-another, no-breath-taken catalog run that earns the slot every year he gets it back. The opening was patient. Garrix walked out alone in black, lifted the mic, and let the kineticFIELD canopy fill with the cold-build intro of "Forbidden Voices" — the 2015 instrumental that's become his signature show-opener. The owl's wings hit full extension on the drop and the front pit answered with the kind of roar that travels. By the four-minute mark the set was already at full energy and didn't drop below it for the next seventy. The catalog this run was loaded. "In the Name of Love" landed at the 12-minute mark — the Bebe Rexha collab that earned Garrix his first Hot 100 top-ten and which, nine years later, still works as a 80,000-person sing-along moment. He pushed the drop back twice on the second pass, holding the crowd vocal for an extra sixteen bars. "Scared to Be Lonely" with Dua Lipa came in next as a half-time edit — slower, heavier, the kind of rework Garrix has built his recent live shows around. Mid-set was the deep-cut moment. "Pizza" — yes, the 2018 dance instrumental — got rebuilt into a four-on-the-floor festival edit that the Sunday-night crowd at EDC, of all crowds, knows by heart. "Used to Love" with Dean Lewis got the same treatment. "Burn Out" with Justin Mylo and Dewain Whitmore Jr. closed the middle stretch with one of the cleaner pre-fireworks moments of the weekend. The back-third anthem run was where the slot was earned. "There for You" with Troye Sivan went up at the 50-minute mark, and the second pass through the chorus — Garrix on the mic, the entire field carrying the lyric — was, from the Rockstarr Media floor risers, the moment of the set. "So Far Away" with David Guetta and Jamie Scott followed, slowed half a step for the build. The fireworks above the owl during the drop were timed to the kick — visible production cue, perfectly hit. He closed with "Animals." Of course he closed with "Animals." The 2013 instrumental that built his career is also, twelve years later, still the most reliably field-igniting drop in his catalog, and Garrix treated it accordingly — extended intro, vocal-only stab, full pre-build, then the kick the entire 30th anniversary edition of EDC seemed to be waiting for. He held the mic out for the second pass and the field carried it. Where Garrix goes from here: a full Tomorrowland set is confirmed for late July, with European arena dates announced through autumn. New material is rumored — including a track that ran during tonight's middle stretch that does not appear on any of his released catalog. We'll be on that one when it drops. EDC Las Vegas 2026 continues through Monday morning. Zedd takes the kineticFIELD next; Armin van Buuren has the sunrise close. Rockstarr Media is on the ground through dawn.
