LONDON’S LARGEST ELECTRONIC EVENT IN CITY HISTORY
Last Saturday , internationally acclaimed DJ and producer Michael Bibi shattered records as he kicked off his celebratory “One Life” tour at Finsbury Park - Drawing over 45,000 attendees, cementhing this moment as the largest electronic music event in the city’s history.
The event was a true testament to Bibi's indomitable spirit and remarkable journey, filled with poignant and unforgettable moments.
Bibi’s performance was a heartfelt narrative of his life and victorious fight against CNS Lymphoma. In addition to performances from Chloé Caillet, Dixon, Enzo Siragusa, and Salomé Le Chat, the stage saw a special B3B DJ set with Dennis Cruz and PAWSA - celebrating a decade of performing together - as well as guest performances by Audio Bullys, and Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg – former member and the original singer of Blue Foundation’s “Eyes on Fire” which Bibi notably remixed in 2020.
However, it was the personal touches that truly captivated the audience on an intimate level. As the night unfolded, the giant screens displayed deeply moving video montages including scenes from Bibi’s childhood with his father - who also hopped on stage to perform an electrifying guitar solo - cherished moments with Dennis Cruz and PAWSA, and raw footage of his struggles in the hospital throughout his treatment.
The emotional depth of the event was palpable; Fans witnessed not only the triumph of a beloved artist (and their home team as England’s quarter-final win was also broadcast on the screen) but also the resilience of a man who has overcome immense challenges. A portion of the proceeds from the show supported various cancer charities including Anthony Nolan, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which supports the work of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, where Bibi received his treatment.

London-based techno and house maestro Michael Bibi, known for popular underground hits like “Different Side” and his 2018 ‘Got The Fire’ EP, which have amassed a total of over 25 million streams worldwide, has not only carved a niche for himself in the underground music scene but has also become a beacon of resilience and inspiration. Bibi's journey began with a profound passion for electronic music, manifesting at the tender age of 14 when he first laid hands on a pair of turntables. This ignited a lifelong obsession with crafting hypnotic rhythms and compelling beats that have since become his signature. As the visionary behind the revered Solid Grooves brand, his influence stretches far and wide, with his tracks encapsulating the very essence of techno and house music's soul-stirring capacity. This sound and aura came to life with his ongoing iconic Solid Grooves Residency at DC-10 Ibiza.
In June 2023, Bibi's musical journey took a poignant turn when he bravely announced his battle with CNS Lymphoma, stepping away from music to focus on his health. Following a resilient fight, he triumphantly declared his remission in December 2023, setting the stage for an inspiring comeback. 2024 marks THE YEAR of Michael Bibi, highlighted by his impactful comeback at Coachella, where he delivered an awe-inspiring 3+ hour set on the new Quasar Stage. Now, Bibi prepares to return to the global stage with the “One Life” World Tour, marking a pivotal moment in his career and a celebration of life after his victorious battle against cancer. Announced dates include a historic homecoming at Finsbury Park in London, setting a record as the largest electronic show in London with a 45,000 person capacity. Additional stops include the vibrant city of Seville, Spain in July, Ushaïa Ibiza in September, and Puglia, Italy in October, with more dates to be announced.
As Bibi steps back into the limelight, his return is not just a testament to his enduring spirit but also builds great excitement and anticipation for what 2024 has in store for him, signaling a new chapter of resilience, renewal, and boundless musical innovation.
