Gabry Ponte live history: italo dance • slap house
With a career spanning over 25 years, Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum producer Gabry Ponte is a leading figure in dance music. Boasting 5.7 billion global streams, in 2025 he reclaimed his spot as the world’s most-streamed Italian DJ, sharing the global spotlight with Måneskin as the country's top two most-streamed artists. Gabry’s journey began in 1998 with Eiffel 65’s "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", a Diamond-certified hit that sold 8 million copies. After winning the European Music Award for ‘Best Italian Artist In The World’ in 2000, he received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2001. His solo evolution has since been meteoric, featuring hits like "Thunder" and a collection of 42 Platinum and 18 Gold records. In 2025, his hit “Tutta l’Italia” became the official sound of the 75° Sanremo Music Festival, while “Exotica” achieved Gold certification in Spain and France. Gabry recently made history as the first DJ to headline Milan’s San Siro Stadium, delivering a 3+ hour show to 56,000 fans. He is set to rewrite history again with the 2026 edition of “San Siro Dance,” which sold 30,000 tickets in just the first 5 days.
