Armin van Buuren

Biography

At ADE 2025 he played a b2b with KI/KI at AMF in the Johan Cruijff ArenA, a sequel to the surprise b2b they had played in a small venue at ADE two years earlier. AMF is the biggest event of ADE, with some 40,000 visitors. Timed for that set, the two released "Put Your Bassline" on Armada Music, which describes it as techno-trance that fuses the sounds of Armin and KI/KI.^[2][3]

In 2026 he put out "U Got 2 Know" with Hannah Laing and Wippenberg in May, and "Nirvana" with Funk Tribu in September, both on Armada Music. The debut A State of Trance Vietnam, held in Ho Chi Minh City in June, was announced with his first-ever face-to-face with KI/KI as its centrepiece.^[4][5][6]

At ADE 2026 he plays a night with Benwal at Gashouder on 21 October and is on the line-up of AMF at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on 24 October. On 14 November he plays A State of Trance London, part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations, at Drumsheds.^[7][8][1]

Sound

Insomniac introduces him as a Grammy-nominated Dutchman with more than twenty years of international success and calls him the flag-bearer of the trance movement. It also cites his five number-one placings in the DJ Mag Top 100 and his weekly radio show, A State of Trance.^[1]
