DJ Archie: Tomorrowland’s Youngest Star

It’s a wrap on Tomorrowland Weekend 1, 2024!

With a slew of spectacular performances, extravagant production with the largest mainstage to date and a sold-out attendance, it’s difficult to pin-point a stand-out act.  However, if we’re going to talk about the youngest person to play at the festival this year, that title goes to DJ Archie.

Hailing from the North Essex, England, at just 9-years old Archie Norbury has left quite a prominent mark in the electronic dance music scene. 

His foray into this world commenced at a young age, where Archie’s interest in DJing began when he was just 2 years old. His inspiration came from seeing his father’s love for music where in an interview with DJ Mag, Archie said that he first tried his hands out at DJing on his dad’s equipment “My dad was a DJ and one day I turned on his equipment when he was out of the room and I was mixing and it was all in time,” he said.

DJ Archie‘s career has been growing over the years, highlighted by significant turning points like winning DJ competitions and building a social media following. In 2018, at the age of four years and 130 days, Archie was officially acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the youngest DJ in the world. This accomplishment made him well-known throughout the world and opened doors for him to have more success as a DJ.

DJ Archie‘s performance at Tomorrowland 2024 was the talk of the event. His energetic music and clever mixing techniques hooked the audience, and his connection with the crowd made his set truly memorable. Reflecting on his triumph with DJ Mag, Archie shared, “I had the audience in the palm of my hand, and they were all moving to the beat.” Both attendees and online viewers were abuzz with praise for this rising talent, cementing Archie’s promising future in the industry.

As DJ Archie continues to break boundaries and inspire future talent, the EDM world is excited to see what he will accomplish next!
