Past Winners
In the previous 24 years, we have seen some crazy stuff. We have seen some dance music’s elite hold the reigns for years at a time. For example, we have seen Tiësto go on a three-year winning streak, only to be topped by Armin Van Buuren, who won the poll a record 4 consecutive times. Martin Garrix might be the one to top Armin, as he has won the last two years, and doesn’t seem to be slowing down in the slightest. Past winners have included everyone from Carl Cox, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and even David Guetta.
Results are to be announced October 21st during Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF) in front 35,000 fans. This will take place during the world-renowned Amsterdam Dance Event, better known as ADE. 2017 saw 4 million people tune in to watch Martin Garrix take the crown as he was named the World’s No.1 DJ for the second time.
