Martin Garrix confirms second album for late 2026

Martin Garrix has put a window on album two. Speaking to Toronto's KiSS 92.5 in an interview published June 8, the Dutch headliner confirmed the follow-up to 2022's Sentio lands toward the end of 2026, after an early-2026 target quietly slid.

The pitch is a softer one than last time. Garrix described the record as more accessible and fun next to a debut he calls very aggressive, and said it features collaborators he never expected to share a studio with. "The album is about joy, about connection, about unity," he said.

Digging through old material for the project has already paid off once: Repeat It, his recent single with Ed Sheeran, started as an idea the two first teased back in 2014. The pair recently performed together in Santiago, Chile, mid-way through Garrix's current Americas tour, which includes three Toronto dates.

Asked for the dream collaboration, he did not hesitate: "I'd love to work with Daft Punk." Given the week Thomas Bangalter is having in Brooklyn, the timing of that wish is at least poetic.
