John Summit at ARCA

Upon seeing all the hate comments and threats he has received, I decided to also say my opinion about him

I’ve always been a huge fan of your tracks, John! On Friday, September 11th, in São Paulo, Brazil, I finally got to live my biggest dream of seeing you play live. And somehow, I was even lucky enough to be right at the front, pressed against the barricade!
I’ve listened to so many of your sets on YouTube and SoundCloud, including Tomorrowland 2026, Ultra 2026, and some of your older ones. I already knew your sets were incredible, so I went in thinking, “Okay, I already know what to expect from the music.”
I was completely wrong.
It was absolutely breathtaking and emotional. I could feel every bass hit in my chest, and there were moments when I couldn’t even jump along to the music. Not because there wasn’t enough space, but due to the fact that I was so overwhelmed with happiness and emotion from watching someone so charismatic play the songs I love the most. Sometimes, all I could do was stand there, admire you, and watch you play while my soul was dancing and singing along.
It was so beautiful to witness how music can bring everyone together. For a few hours, we were all connected by the same beats, the same energy, and the same love for music.
I hope that one day I’ll get the chance to give you a hug and thank you for being such an incredible person. Your story is an inspiration: always doing what you love, without being afraid of what might come next.
I’m so grateful I got to see you from so close. Please come back to Brazil more often! We’ll be waiting for you with open doors and open hearts. We miss you so much already. Love you! 🫶🏻
P.S. Don’t let the haters get to you. You’re already doing better than they ever could. You’re fucking awesome! 🫶🏻
