DJ Mag Top 100 2021 Voting Has Opened!
Voting in the world’s biggest DJ poll, DJ Mag‘s Top 100 DJs, is now open. You can cast your votes now at vote.djmag.com.
The voting will be accompanied by the return of the Top 100 DJs Virtual Festival, a ten-week online showcase of the world’s leading DJs from across the planet. The Top 100 DJs Virtual Festival series first launched in 2020, in response to the pandemic and the closure of the global nightlife and event industry. 2020’s showcase was viewed more than 10million times, with all sets raising money for Unicef.
The Top 100 DJs Virtual Festival series, which takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 24th July — 19th September, will be broadcast across DJ Mag’s global YouTube, Facebook and Twitch channels. Saturdays will be dedicated to Top 100 DJs, with Sundays celebrating the Alternative Top 100 DJs.
The Alternative Top 100 DJs uses the same vote data as the Top 100 DJs poll, cross-referenced with Beatport sales data and a genre filter. In 2021, the genres included in Alternative Top 100 DJs will be widened to include a number of Beatport’s high-selling genres, including house, techno, drum & bass, and other derivatives that have recently been underrepresented in the main poll. In addition to the DJ Mag channels, selected Alternative Top 100 DJs sets will be broadcast across Beatport’s Twitch and Facebook channels.
Confirmed Saturday DJs include reigning Top 100 DJs champion David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Mariana Bo, Timmy Trumpet, Lokyii, Carta, JVNA Casper Yu, Ummet Ozcan, Nifra, Oliver Heldens, Qrion, Christina Novelli, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Nifra, ATB, Bassjackers, Vini Vici, Vize, Fedde Le Grand, Miss K8, KSHMR, Ayrue, and many more.
Sundays will be soundtracked by artists including Juliet Fox, Claptone, Dennis Ferrer, DJ Spen, Manda Moor, Space 94, Lauren Flax, Justin Cudmore, Paulette, Anfisa Letyago, Delano Smith, Roger Sanchez, Mike Dunn, and many more TBA.
Now in year five of a long-term partnership, Top 100 DJs has raised more than £80,000 for Unicef, the world’s leading children’s organization. With this money, Unicef has been able to provide enough life-saving vaccines to protect more than one million children worldwide.
This year, the fundraising focus shifts to Unicef’s Vaccinaid program. With vaccines rolling out, we’re beginning to win the fight against COVID-19. But we can’t stop at our own borders. When one country is at risk, we’re all at risk. DJ Mag are asking DJs, artists, and fans to play their part in supporting Unicef’s mission to deliver two billion vaccines, as well as millions of treatments around the world this year.
Viewers of the Top 100 DJs Virtual Festival will be invited to donate whatever they can afford during the broadcasts, or enter a charity prize draw, in partnership with Crowdfunder. This will see one lucky donor and their friend win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Amsterdam to meet 2021’s No.1 DJ backstage, directly after they have collected their award.
Following a successful debut in 2020, Top 100 DJs has renewed its partnership with VirtualDJ, to create exclusive content with the leading DJs from the poll. With more than 100 million downloads, VirtualDJ is by far the most used DJ software on the market and has a recognized history of technical innovations that have shaped digital DJing for the past 20 years. This year, VirtualDJ is the talk of the industry for introducing a game-changing technology — real-time stem separation —in their DJ software. This new technology is opening a new frontier for DJing that will deeply impact how DJs can mix in the years to come, and felt like the natural companion, this year, to the world’s leading DJ poll. VirtualDJ will be visible across the voting process and social media results reveal, and DJ Mag will be launching an exclusive 3-Minute Challenge series, where artists will put VirtualDJ’s software, and their own skills, through the paces.
Top 100 DJs is a fully open poll, with no nominations or categories. Voters are simply asked to choose their top five DJs. They can include a DJ with five followers to a DJ with five million followers — but voters are reminded that they only get one vote each year! The 100 DJs with the most votes make the final ranking.
Top 100 DJs was born from the 100th edition of DJ Mag back in 1993 and began as an editorially curated list. In later years it was opened to a postal ballot before going online.
In 2020, more than 1.2 million votes came from 232 different countries, including principalities and islands. As an indication of how truly global the poll is, the figures include 50 votes from Greenland, 52 votes from San Marino, 924 from Syria, and one vote from Vatican City! Europe and the United States pulled in the most votes, closely followed by Latin American countries, specifically Brazil and Mexico, but also Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, and Guatemala, cementing Top 100 DJs position as the world’s biggest publicly voted music poll.
Last year, David Guetta was crowned as The World’s No.1 DJ, for the second time — almost a decade after he first took the No.1 spot in 2011. Check out the full ranking at djmag.com/top100djs

Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far
Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 Confirmed Artists So Far include Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, and more
As we gear up for the historic debut of Tomorrowland Thailand from December 11 to 13, 2026, the first confirmed artists are already setting the frame for one of Asia’s most closely watched festival debuts. Ahead of the complete lineup announcement, Tomorrowland has shared an early group of confirmed names for the Thailand edition, including Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Lost Frequencies, NERVO, and Dimitri Vegas. Unlike the usual Tomorrowland lineup reveal, where the full artist list is released alongside stage hosts and wider festival details, the Thailand confirmations have been shared through separate official moments. Axwell mentioned the Swedish House Mafia appearance during a One World Radio interview, while other names were introduced through Tomorrowland and Tomorrowland Thailand posts, giving the debut edition a more gradual artist reveal before the full lineup is published.
Swedish House Mafia Are Set For Their First Thailand Show As A Trio
Among the first Tomorrowland Thailand 2026 confirmed artists, Swedish House Mafia carries the clearest headline value because the December booking would bring Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello to Thailand together under the Swedish House Mafia name for the first time. All three members have played in the country across separate appearances, and Axwell Λ Ingrosso previously performed in Thailand as a duo, but the trio has never performed here together as Swedish House Mafia. That gives the confirmation more local context for Thai audiences who have followed the members’ individual and duo appearances over the years. The confirmation came through a conversational exchange on One World Radio, when the host asked Axwell where the group was going next in the Tomorrowland world. Axwell first pointed to Asia, then narrowed it down to Thailand, saying, “I think it might be somewhere in the Asian regions. Uh more like Thailand actually,” before adding, “We’re going to be there in December.” When the host asked if that meant Tomorrowland Thailand, Axwell replied, “Yeah. Yeah. That’s the thing.” The host then repeated the point back for clarity, saying Swedish House Mafia’s next stop in the Tomorrowland world would be Tomorrowland Thailand, with Axwell later adding that he had seen Wisdom Valley, loves going to Thailand, loves Tomorrowland, and said, “So let’s mix the two.”

NERVO Announced Their Tomorrowland Thailand Set On The Tomorrowland Winter MainStage
NERVO were one of the first names confirmed for Tomorrowland Thailand 2026, with the announcement made during their Tomorrowland Winter MainStage set instead of through a standard lineup graphic. Mim Nervo set up the reveal by telling the crowd that “there’s something new happening” before she and Liv Nervo turned around to show the message printed across their shirts: “She Is Playing At Tomorrowland Thailand.” The moment was later shared by Tomorrowland Thailand as the first artist reveal for the 2026 line-up, placing NERVO in the earliest group of artists confirmed for the festival’s debut edition from December 11 to 13, 2026. Their booking also connects the Thailand launch to Tomorrowland’s wider history, since NERVO have been regular names across the festival’s stages over the years and were part of The Way We See The World, the 2011 Tomorrowland anthem with Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
