Euro 2020 Football Theme Song by Music Artist: Martin Garrix

Martin Garrix makes an appearance in UEFA Euro 2020 Draw Ceremony in Bucharest, Romania! He walked out with the trophy which the champion of Euro 2020 will receive: Henri Delaunay Cup, with an unexpected encore. He is a 23 years old DJ and record producer from Amstelveen, Netherlands.

Garrix has been nominated as the Euro 2020 official music artist for this tournament. He will write the song for football and perform the UEFA Euro 2020 football theme song in the event. He is famous for an array of electronic pop hits such as “Don’t Look Down” (featuring Usher), “In the Name of Love” (featuring Bebe Rexha), “Scared to be Lonely” (collaborated with Dua Lipa). He has worked together with some famous artists and singers in the music industry, such as David Guetta and Tiesto.

It is a perfect way to celebrate the opening session of the game with an official football theme song. It isn’t the first time for an EDM artist to perform for the Euro tournament. Before Garrix, David Guetta was taking this position, wrote the official football theme song and performed during the Euro 2016 closing ceremony. “UEFA EURO 2020 will be a month of celebration across Europe, and there is no better person to get the party started than Garrix,” said Guy-Laurent Epstein, the director of marketing at UEFA.

Music and soccer always connect people together. This will be the most important football theme song of unity throughout UEFA EURO 2020 as the tournament being played in 12 distinct countries covering the mainland in the competition’s 60 years of history. This is the first of its nature for the event.

“It’s an incredible honor to be asked to create the official song for UEFA Euro 2020. I’m so excited to hear it. Next summer’s tournament will take the fans closer to the action than ever before, and I really hope that my song will make everyone in Europe feel like they are part of it,” said Martin Garrix. To produce a football theme song for such a huge event is really a great milestone for a victorious artist in his career.

Garrix is inspired by Tiesto’s performance at the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games in 2004, and now, he got the chance to shine and shine in the Euro 2020’ stage. Don’t forget to mark down your calendars for spring 2020! Another singer will be participating as a collaboration in this football theme song. This official football song will first appear and performed in full by Garrix at the Euro 2020 opening ceremony at Olimpico in Rome, on 12 June 2020.
