Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran have turned their long-awaited collaboration “Repeat It” into a full-blown concert experience, and fans can now watch 40 minutes of the two superstars sharing the stage in Santiago, Chile. The Dutch DJ and producer invited Sheeran to join him during his Americas Tour, giving the singer-songwriter an opportunity to step into Garrix’s high-energy electronic world for a performance that celebrates their musical partnership. The complete set is available to watch online, capturing an unusual meeting between one of dance music’s biggest festival headliners and one of pop’s most successful performers.
“Repeat It” brings together two artists whose careers have followed remarkably different musical paths, making their collaboration especially intriguing.
Garrix became an international sensation with “Animals,” the explosive instrumental dance track that established him as a major electronic music producer when he was just 17. The song’s enormous success introduced his production style to audiences worldwide, opening the door to festival appearances, global tours and collaborations with some of popular music’s most recognizable voices.
Sheeran’s career developed through a different approach, built
Sheeran’s career developed through a different approach, built around songwriting, acoustic guitar and an ability to communicate personal experiences through memorable melodies. His catalogue includes international hits such as “Thinking Out Loud,” “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” recordings that have helped him sell more than 200 million records worldwide.
Their musical partnership brings those strengths together, connecting Garrix’s experience creating dance-floor productions with Sheeran’s distinctive songwriting and vocal delivery.
The Santiago performance takes that collaboration beyond the recording studio.
Sheeran joined Garrix onstage during the DJ’s ambitious Americas Tour, participating in a 40-minute set that incorporates “Repeat It” alongside other songs associated with his catalogue.
For audiences accustomed to seeing Sheeran performing
For audiences accustomed to seeing Sheeran performing with a guitar or using his signature loop-pedal arrangements, the electronic concert setting offers an entertaining change of perspective.
Garrix’s shows are built around the possibilities of large-scale electronic production, with dramatic lighting, carefully constructed transitions and the kind of energy that has made him a fixture at major dance music festivals.
Bringing Sheeran into that environment creates opportunities to reinterpret familiar pop material within a different musical framework.
The collaboration also reflects Garrix’s long-standing interest
The collaboration also reflects Garrix’s long-standing interest in working with musicians from outside the traditional electronic dance music scene.
Throughout his career, he has recorded with Dua Lipa, Bono, The Edge, Khalid and Macklemore, developing songs that combine electronic production with elements of pop, rock and contemporary songwriting.
His recordings demonstrate how naturally those different styles can complement one another.
“In The Name of Love,” his collaboration with Bebe Rexha, helped establish his ability to create emotionally expressive dance-pop recordings. “Scared to Be Lonely,” featuring Dua Lipa, continued that approach, while “Ocean” with Khalid explored a more restrained and atmospheric musical direction.
We Are the People, featuring Bono
“We Are the People,” featuring Bono and The Edge, brought another dimension to his collaborative work, pairing his electronic production with two musicians closely associated with U2.
Those partnerships have helped Garrix build an audience that extends well beyond dedicated electronic music listeners.
With Sheeran, he has found another collaborator capable of bringing a distinctive musical identity to his productions.
The Santiago concert video also provides a look
The Santiago concert video also provides a look at the scale of Garrix’s Americas Tour.
The 27-show itinerary represents his largest North and South American headline tour, bringing elaborate live production and new material to major cities across both continents.
For a producer whose career has been shaped by festival performances and international collaborations, the tour demonstrates the reach of electronic dance music as a major concert attraction.
Garrix has also developed a substantial creative operation away from the stage.
He founded the independent label STMPD RCRDS, established
He founded the independent label STMPD RCRDS, established a studio complex in Amsterdam and has supported emerging musicians through his work as a producer and mentor.
Those activities have allowed him to expand his influence beyond his own recordings, creating opportunities for younger artists while continuing to develop his musical projects.
Sheeran brings an equally extensive touring history to their collaboration.
His Mathematics Tour became one of the defining live undertakings of his career, with stadium performances attracting enormous audiences internationally. His album series, beginning with ‘+’ and continuing through ‘×’, ‘÷’, ‘=’, and ‘−’, established a recognizable body of work before concluding in 2025.
His subsequent album ‘Play’ continued his international success, featuring songs including “Sapphire” and “Camera.”
Across those projects, Sheeran has demonstrated an ability
Across those projects, Sheeran has demonstrated an ability to move between musical styles while retaining the songwriting approach that made his earliest recordings successful.
That versatility helps explain why a collaboration with Garrix makes sense.
Both musicians have built careers around memorable songs, even when their production methods and performance settings differ considerably.
The Santiago video gives fans an opportunity to watch that musical relationship develop onstage, with “Repeat It” serving as the connection between their respective catalogues.
The release of the concert footage has also
The release of the concert footage has also been accompanied by exclusive merchandise celebrating the collaboration.
For Garrix fans, the video offers an extended look at one of the distinctive guest appearances from his Americas Tour. For Sheeran listeners, it provides a chance to experience familiar material in the company of a producer whose concerts operate on an entirely different scale.
And for anyone interested in the increasingly fluid relationship between pop songwriting and electronic dance music, the performance brings two internationally successful artists together for an unusually substantial shared set.
Forty minutes gives Garrix and Sheeran room to explore their collaboration, celebrate their respective musical backgrounds and demonstrate how entertaining it can be when artists with different approaches meet on the same stage.
