Martin Garrix — Americas Tour at Barclays Center, June 13

June 13 is Brazil vs Morocco at MetLife Stadium at 6pm. It is also Martin Garrix at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The overlap is not a scheduling accident to work around. It is a double-header opportunity. The fan who does not have a ticket to Brazil vs Morocco — and given what those tickets cost, this describes most of New York — can watch the match at a fan zone in the five boroughs, then make their way to Brooklyn that same evening. Barclays is accessible from virtually every fan zone via subway.

Martin Garrix became the youngest artist ever to top the DJ Mag Top 100 when he achieved it at age 17, and his music — "Animals," "In the Name of Love," "Scared to Be Lonely," "Byte" — has accumulated streaming numbers that most pop artists would envy. His arena shows are genuinely different from the festival-slot experience: the production scales for enclosed venues, the LED architecture is designed for the setting, and the crowd energy in an arena builds in ways open-air festivals cannot replicate.

Galantis as co-headliner adds considerable value. The Swedish duo — Marcus Lindell and Christian Karlsson — bring their own arena-electronic following and a catalog that holds up alongside Garrix's: "Runaway," "No Money," "Peanut Butter Jelly." An evening with both acts at Barclays is a longer, more varied electronic experience than a single-headliner show.

The Netherlands is one of the World Cup's most storied nations, with a fanbase that travels in numbers. Dutch fans in New York for the tournament — wearing orange, making themselves known in every bar with a screen — will find a particular resonance in a Garrix show at Barclays. There is a version of June 13 where Dutch fans watch their group stage match, then walk to Barclays for one of their country's most internationally famous musicians.

Atlantic Terminal beneath Barclays — nine subway lines — makes getting there from anywhere in the city straightforward. See the full NYC venue calendar for everything else happening during the tournament window.
