Timmy Trumpet - Global Dance Festival

Lineup

Timmy Trumpet

DJ, producer, and live instrumentalist, Timmy Trumpet is undoubtedly one of the most explosive performers in the electronic music scene. An award-winning, multi-platinum-selling recording artist, Timmy has forged his way to the very top. His breakthrough release “Freaks” has reigned in over a billion streams, accompanying a string of singles to break the 100 million barrier on Spotify alone. From performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the most streamed set at Tomorrowland, Timmy is a festival promoter’s headlining weapon of choice.

Timmy’s music career boasts an extensive résumé spanning over twenty years, from early beginnings as a classically trained jazz musician. At the age of thirteen, he was named “Young Musician of the Year” before being granted a full scholarship to the Conservatorium of Music, where Anthony Heinrich tutored him. Within two years, he secured a position as the leading solo trumpet player in the Australian All-Star Stage Band, taking part in an extensive European tour covering some of the world’s biggest jazz festivals.

As a songwriter and producer, Timmy Trumpet refuses to be pigeonholed, releasing music of all flavors across various genres. “There’re only two kinds of music to me: good music and bad. Hopefully I’m making the good stuff!” – Timmy Trumpet.

The stats don’t lie. Timmy’s discography has exceeded 5 billion streams. In 2024, he was awarded the #5 DJ in the world according to DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll, overtaking record-breaking five-time winner Armin van Buuren, who had held a top-five spot for the past 20 years.

Always up for collaborating with other artists, his extensive catalogue features global heavyweights such as Hardwell, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, R3HAB, W&W, ALOK, and KSHMR. His debut mainstage performance at Tomorrowland in 2017 became the highest streamed set of all time on the festival’s official YouTube channel, with his more recent sets continuing to lead the charge. Notably, in 2024, he closed the main stage of Tomorrowland in both Belgium and Brazil, with his Belgium performance becoming the festival’s most viewed set of the year, cementing his legacy as one of Tomorrowland’s most iconic acts. Timmy also joined Academy Award winner Jared Leto and Thirty Seconds to Mars on stage to perform their hit “Kings & Queens” live at Lollapalooza.

In 2022, Timmy threw out the first pitch for the New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers game and performed his track “Narco” while pitcher Edwin Díaz walked out to the mound. The iconic moment clocked over 200 million views on social media within 48 hours and sent “Narco” to #1 on Spotify’s Viral chart in the United States. To add to his impressive list of achievements, Timmy became the first instrumentalist to perform in zero gravity thanks to a partnership between BigCityBeats and the European Space Agency.

When asked if he pinches himself looking back on a career that originated from the humble beginnings of band camp and after-school jazz practice, you only get one response: “We’re just getting started!”
