As befits major football tournaments, the European Football Championship also gets an official anthem: Producer Martin Garrix delivers the song for the European Championship together with Bono and The Edge from U2.

The song with the title "We Are The People We've Been Waiting For" will be released on May 14th, the musicians announced on Instagram.

The Dutch DJ Martin Garrix was named "Official EURO 2020 Music Artist" in November 2019 and remained so after the tournament was postponed to summer 2021 due to the corona. Garrix became famous in 2013 with his dance track "Animals" and the single "Wizard" known and since then has worked with artists such as Dua Lipa ("Scared To Be Lonely") or Troye Sivan ("There For You").

Garrix already appeared as the closing act at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

He is an avowed football fan, which connects him with U2 singer Bono.

The 60-year-old can be heard as a guest star in the EM anthem together with his band colleague, guitarist The Edge.

The U2 musicians cannot keep their fingers crossed for their home country Ireland at the tournament - the Irish national team failed in the play-offs against Slovakia.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, are qualified for the European Championship, which will start on June 11th and take place in eleven countries.

In Munich, the German national team will play their group games against world champions France, European champions Portugal and Hungary.

A quarter-finals are also planned there.
