Feb 26, 2018 4:20 AM UTC The party at Sunday’s [2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony](http://time.com/5174577/olympics-closing-ceremony-guitar-kid/) kept raging well after the symbolic torch was extinguished — and the internet was here for it. After the Olympic flame went out, officially bringing the PyeongChang Winter Olympics to a close, DJs took the stage to keep things going for athletes and revelers. Korean DJ Raiden got things going, much to the delight of both athletes and the internet. And when a second DJ stepped up, it did not go unnoticed by viewers at home. The second DJ was Martin Garrix, a 21-year-old Dutch artist who’s well known on the EDM circuit. And though his performance caught many by surprise, Garrix actually teased the appearance on Instagram on Saturday. “Can’t believe I get to close The Olympics tomorrow,” he wrote. “I was watching The Olympics in 2004 with Tiesto opening the event which inspired me to do what I do today. Being part of the closing ceremony tomorrow, I can only hope and dream that I can inspire someone the same way he did.” See the reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/chocochendae/status/967746537768955905) > [](https://twitter.com/sozguk/status/967951550323838977) > [](https://twitter.com/kpopjimin21/status/967745041354645506) > [](https://twitter.com/SUHOERIJILLEO/status/967745884539637761) > [](https://twitter.com/klnkookie/status/967746029587066880) DJs at the Closing Ceremony Got the Internet in on the Party ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5175048/martin-garrix-olympics-closing-ceremony-dj/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5175048/martin-garrix-olympics-closing-ceremony-dj/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Extremely Here for the Closing Ceremony DJs","datePublished":"2018-02-26T04:20:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:55.170Z","description":"They kept the party going after the flame went out","url":"https://time.com/5175048/martin-garrix-olympics-closing-ceremony-dj/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Winter Olympics","2018 Pyeongchang Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt40bf58dadd603dff/698928d4bc6cfcf5a03e5258/martin-garrix.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jamie Ducharme","jobTitle":"Ducharme is a contributor to TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/jamie-ducharme/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt40bf58dadd603dff/698928d4bc6cfcf5a03e5258/martin-garrix.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Winter Olympic Games - Closing Ceremony","caption":"2018 Winter Olympic Games - Closing Ceremony","creditText":"Dan Istitene—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5175048/martin-garrix-olympics-closing-ceremony-dj/","name":"The Internet Is Extremely Here for the Closing Ceremony DJs"}}]}] ```
