Picture this: a stadium packed with 45,000 ecstatic fans, 300 drones painting the sky and the electrifying beats of Martin Garrix shaking the ground beneath your feet. Welcome to Mumbai’s most extravagant Holi celebration by Martin Garrix in Mumbai! This wasn’t just another festival — it was a pulsating, neon-drenched, beat-infused experience that redefined celebrations as we know them. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai was the epicentre of sheer madness. The last time Navi Mumbai saw this level of hysteria was when Coldplay took over. This time, it was Martin Garrix setting the city ablaze with his chart-busting anthems and a Holi party like never before.

The streets of Nerul transformed into a sea of euphoric fans hours before the gates even opened. The blistering sun? Irrelevant. The excitement? Unstoppable. Holi colours filled the air, food stalls served up delights like popcorn, pizza and burgers. Also, fans enjoyed beverages like beer, vodka and whiskey. The anticipation was electric and then, the moment arrived.
Garrix took the stage, and with one simple yet powerful “Kasa Kai, Mumbai?” he had the crowd completely hooked. The beats dropped and what followed was a rollercoaster ride of sonic explosions, Animal, High On Life, Summer Day’, Follow, and the ever-iconic In The Name Of Love. Every track sent shockwaves through the stadium, each drop more intense than the last.
Lights, Drones & Mind-Blowing Madness
Spacebound, the genius minds behind the production, turned the stadium into a futuristic dreamscape. Towering LED walls pulsed in sync with the bass, laser beams sliced through the night sky, and Holi-themed pyro effects lit up the arena. Then came the real jaw-dropper: 300 drones took over the skies.
Arijit Singh & The Grand Finale
Just when fans thought the night couldn’t get any better, Arijit Singh walked onto the stage. Yes, India’s most beloved singer, the Arijit Singh. The crowd lost its collective mind as the two legends performed their collaboration Angels for Each Other. Fireworks erupted, voices harmonised and for a few minutes, the entire stadium swayed as one. It was the perfect fusion of EDM and soul, closing the night with a moment that will be etched in music history.
As Garrix played his latest track Angels for Each Other, the drones formed a giant heart, morphing into angel wings before finally revealing his iconic ‘+ x’ logo. If music was the soul of the event, this dazzling display was its beating heart.
