DJ Mag has announced the lineup for the Top 100 DJs Awards 2025, set to take place at [UNVRS] Ibiza on Tuesday, September 30.

This year’s event will feature the new world No 1 DJ alongside global headliners from across electronic music, including Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, Indira Paganotto, Jazzy, and Miss Monique. Arielle Free will serve as the main host, with additional awards presented such as Highest New Entry, Highest Climber, Outstanding Contribution, and Future Star.

For the first time in history, the Top 100 DJs Awards will be hosted live in Ibiza at the newly opened [UNVRS] club. Fans in Thailand can follow the full results live on the EDM Addicts page, with announcement times to be confirmed soon.

DJ Mag will also continue its partnership with Bridges for Music, a non-profit supporting young people through education. Ticket buyers can donate while booking, and every DJ in the Top 100 will be invited to sponsor at least one student. The program, based at Bridges Academy in Langa, South Africa, combines music education with mental health support and business training. Last year’s winner Martin Garrix launched the initiative with a £34,000 donation, funding a year of study for 34 students.

Simon Kelly, COO of DJ Mag, noted that Top 100 DJs should act as a positive project for the industry by giving ranked DJs the chance to support the next generation of artists.

The Top 100 DJs poll began in 1993 as a list celebrating DJ Mag’s 100th issue and has since become the largest public vote in global dance music. Fans worldwide can freely vote for their five favorite DJs each year without nominations or restrictions. In 2024, Martin Garrix secured his fifth No 1 title, overtaking David Guetta and equaling Armin van Buuren’s long-standing record.

The 2025 edition marks a historic moment as the awards move to Ibiza for the first time, with the world’s new No 1 set to be revealed at [UNVRS].
