About Higher Ground (feat. John Martin)

Few artist fan accounts are as reliable and consistent as Martin Garrix Hub, constantly putting out new information about the Dutch artist whether it pertains to releases, IDs, live sets, and more. The latest info dump from the fan account is one we’ve been awaiting for a while now: “Higher Ground,” Martin’s new song with John Martin, is finally being released on May 14. It just also happens to be Martin’s birthday. “Higher Ground” has been talked about a lot, both by fans as well as Martin himself. He played it once again during his recent live stream from his home in Amsterdam.
