Voting is now open for DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, in aid of Unicef. Dance music fans across the planet are invited to support their favourite DJs before the poll closes on 13th September 2023.
2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Top 100 DJs, which started life in 1993 as an editorially-curated list of 100 DJs to celebrate the 100th edition of DJ Magazine. Top 100 DJs has grown — through 1.3 million annual votes — into the world’s largest publicly voted music poll.
With no nominations or entry criteria, Top 100 DJs is a fully open poll. Voters are simply asked to choose their top five DJs. They can include a DJ with five followers or a DJ with five million followers.
Plans are underway for 2023’s Top 100 DJs Awards Show broadcast, which will announce the poll results in November, alongside a feature-length documentary chronicling 30 years of Top 100 DJs and the music scenes it has reflected.
In 2022, Martin Garrix was crowned as The World’s
1 DJ for the fourth time. The prodigious young Dutch DJ and producer broke through onto the scene in his mid-teens via his proto-EDM tune ‘Animals’, and scooped the Top 100 DJs crown in 2016, 2017 and 2018. He reclaimed the top spot from his great friend and mentor David Guetta, who had held the
1 spot for the previous two years
During the voting process, Top 100 DJs voters will be invited to donate to Unicef’s Children’s Emergency Fund. Donations can also be made direct at unicef.org.uk
This is the third time that DJ Mag has presented the Top 100 Festivals, and the second time that it has run as a public poll, after its first edition was voted for by DJs and artists in 2019. This year, over 100,000 verified votes were cast in the poll between 26th April and 21st June.
Tomorowland has dominated the top end of Top 100 Festivals so far, returning as the reigning World's No. 1 Festival in last year's poll.

Tomorrowland has retained its crown, continuing to mesmerise both fans and artists alike with its boundary-pushing stage production, big-name line-ups, and international appeal. At this year’s Adscendo event, more than 400,000 people celebrated love, music, and unity across 16 stages at the Belgian mega festival, and danced to the sounds of over 750 electronic music artists.
Continuing to find new and exciting ways to engage fans, Tomorrowland 2023 also welcomed back its One World Radio station with an increased programme broadcast live across the two weekends, along with a brand new RISE stage uniting emerging artists and nature.
Speaking about Tomorrowland being voted the World’s No. 1 Festival in the DJ Mag Top 100 Festivals 2023, Manu and Michiel Beers, founders and owners of Tomorrowland, said, “We are delighted to once again receive this recognition from the public, festival goers and DJ Mag readers. What once started as a dream, took wings thanks to the tireless efforts of a passionate young team and the enthusiasm and unconditional support of the Tomorrowland community, the People of Tomorrow. We are already looking forward to the 20th anniversary next year but now we are getting ready for the return to Brazil in a few weeks."
Top 100 Clubs is a celebration of the world’s definitive dancefloors, ranked entirely by votes from DJ Mag’s global audience. This year, a record-breaking number of votes have come in from 229 territories, with ravers as far flung as Vanuatu, Guadeloupe, Bhutan and Greenland having their say, and supporting their favourite clubs.
Voting in this year’s Top 100 Clubs opened on 9th January and closed on Friday 15th March 2024 at 23:59 GMT.
The results from the poll will be announced on our Instagram and X pages via the links below. You can tweet us @djmag and use
