These Were the Top 50 Most-Played Artists at Dutch Electronic Music Festivals in 2022

With The Netherlands hosting more than 200 electronic music festivals every year, it's reasonable to figure that music by thousands and thousands of artists is played during the Dutch dance festival season.





But in 2022, 50 artists were played more than all the others, with the list below representing the most-played acts at Dutch dance fests last year. This list was compiled based on plays and performances from 211 events from February to November, across roughly 800 stages at events throughout the Netherlands. Data was collected by DJ Monitor, a global leader in electronic music monitoring with exclusive access to performance data from festivals, clubs, venues and online streams. DJ Monitor identifies music for Collective Management Organizations, rights users, and technology companies worldwide.





Topping the list is afrobeats star Burna Boy, who's followed by Colombian phenom J Balvin and UK hardstyle producer Act of Rage. Puerto Rico's eternal favorite Daddy Yankee follows in fourth, with Dutch hip-hop outfit Broederliefde rounding out the top five. The rest of the list spans techno, hardstyle, disco, dubstep and more.
