Afrojack can bee seen on any given weekend at clubs and festivals around the world, such as Mystery Land, Tomorrowland (Belgium), Electric Daisy Carnival, Extrema Outdoor and Sensation, showing that his popularity is rising far beyond the borders of his homeland.

He will be on hand on Saturday, September 4th at Electric Zoo, bringing his trademark sound to the Hilltop Arena.
