Martin Garrix in Guatemala: Explanada 5 Show on 13 November, Tickets from Q790
Martin Garrix Guatemala 2026 is set for Friday 13 November at Explanada 5 in the capital, where the Dutch DJ returns after seven years, with tickets from Q790, about 103 US dollars.
The Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix performs in Guatemala on Friday 13 November 2026. The show takes place at Explanada 5, an open-air venue in Zona 5 of Guatemala City.
Key Facts
- Date and venue. Friday 13 November 2026 at Explanada 5, on 12 Avenida and Calle Mariscal Cruz in Zona 5, Guatemala City. The vendor lists the start at 8 p.m. Guatemala time.
- Who he is. Martin Garrix is a Dutch DJ and producer who has worked at the top of dance music since his 2013 breakthrough track Animals. His later songs include In the Name of Love with Bebe Rexha, and DJ Mag readers have ranked him the world’s first DJ five times.
- Why the date matters. Central America draws far fewer international touring dates than the larger South American markets, and Garrix has not played Guatemala since April 2019. One night at Explanada 5 is a measure of how promoters now read demand in the country, and of the site’s rise into one of the capital’s main stages.
- Tickets. Sold through eticket, the Guatemalan ticket seller, in three tiers: Dancefloor at Q790, VIP at Q1,110 and Lounge at Q1,740 in quetzales, about 103 to 228 US dollars. The seller states that its service charge is already inside each listed price.
- Not published. No doors-open time, age limit or support act had been published by the venue or the vendor at the time of writing.
Martin Garrix Guatemala 2026: Explanada 5 on 13 November
Martin Garrix plays Guatemala City on Friday 13 November 2026, at the open-air venue Explanada 5. The ticket seller eticket gives the start as 8 p.m. Guatemala time, and lists the concert as scheduled.
The artist’s own website carries the date and points buyers to eticket, the Guatemalan seller handling the show. Show Business, a Guatemalan promoter, is named as the organiser on the vendor’s event page.
What the Tickets Cost
The vendor sells the show in three tiers, and all three were listed as available when this article was filed. Dancefloor costs Q790, about 103 US dollars, and the VIP tier costs Q1,110, roughly 145 US dollars.
The Lounge tier is the highest at Q1,740, about 228 US dollars at the exchange rate of late September. eticket states that its service charge is already included in each price, so the figure shown is the figure paid.
Who Martin Garrix Is
Martin Garrix is a Dutch DJ and producer who broke through in 2013 with the track Animals. His later songs include In the Name of Love with Bebe Rexha and Scared to Be Lonely with Dua Lipa.
The magazine DJ Mag has ranked him first in its annual readers poll five times, the Guatemalan site ConciertosGT notes. That standing explains why one date in Guatemala City draws attention beyond the country’s own dance scene.
Seven Years Since the Last Guatemala Date
Garrix last performed in Guatemala in April 2019, at the Forum Majadas in Guatemala City. Seven years separate that night from this one, a long gap for an artist who tours through most of the year.
In those seven years Explanada 5 became one of the capital’s main sites for large shows. The Guatemalan listings service Guatemala.com describes it as a leading destination for major musical performances.
Explanada 5 and Zona 5
Explanada 5 stands at 12 Avenida and Calle Mariscal Cruz, in Zona 5 of Guatemala City. The site was formerly the Estadio del Ejército, the army stadium, and it now holds concerts and festivals.
Zona 5 lies close to the city centre, and most visitors reach it by taxi or by a ride-hailing app. Neither the venue nor the vendor has published a capacity figure or a parking plan for this date.
Why a Guatemala City Date Is Worth Noting
Central America draws fewer international touring dates than the larger South American markets, because its audiences are smaller. A Guatemala City booking therefore says something about how promoters now read demand in the country.
Touring moves in cycles, and a market skipped for several years can return once local promoters show steady sales. The gap since 2019 is the clearest measure of that cycle in the Guatemalan case.
Practical Notes for Foreign Residents
Tickets are sold in quetzales, and eticket also runs physical points of sale across Guatemala City. Readers without a Guatemalan card should check which payment methods the vendor accepts well before the date.
Photo identification is worth carrying, because door staff at large venues in the capital often check it. No Spanish is needed for a set without dialogue, although signage and staff at the venue work in Spanish.
What Is Still Open
Three details were missing when this article was filed: the doors-open time, any age limit, and any support act. eticket lists the stage time as 8 p.m. Guatemala time, but does not say when the gates open.
Set lengths on tours of this kind are rarely announced in advance, and the vendor published no running order. All three tiers remained on sale in late September, which leaves buyers several weeks before the November date.
