Seth Troxler asks fellow UMF Mexico headliners to join his $10k pledge for earthquake relief

Martin Garrix has supported with his own donation

Yesterday Seth Troxler announced via Twitter that he has pledged $10,000 towards earthquake relief efforts in Mexico.

He has also asked his fellow Ultra Music Festival Mexico headliners to donate the same amount or 10% of their artist fee to the cause.

Troxler called upon Richie Hawtin, Knife Party, Dubfire, Nicky Romero and Dash Berlin in his original tweet.

Following the pledge, main stage headliner Martin Garrix stepped up to also put forth $10,000 for the earthquake victims.

So far no other artists have publicly responded to Seth.

UMF Mexico also recently announced the festival will be donating 1,000,000 pesos (approximately 50,000 US dollars) and 50% of its ticket sales to the country's earthquake relief.
