Martin Garrix Prioritizes Producing Over Live Shows in 2025

In a recent interview with Radio RFM MAXX in Poland, Martin Garrix the ‘Animals‘ star says he will be shifting more energy towards producing and releasing more, especially pop music over-performing at live events.

“I’m gonna do a little bit less shows this year, and release more — and also more pop stuff again,”

This would not be the first time Martin Garrix shifted gears in the music industry, especially towards pop music. In the past, he has released popular tracks with Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa, Tove Lo, Macklemore, JVKE, and Ed Sheeran. All of these releases have made it to his top 10 most-played tracks right alongside his ticket-to-fame, ‘Animals’. As a result, there is no surprise he is making a stronger move towards what his fans like.
