Armin Van Buuren celebrates 700th radio show with his own festival
Tonight Armin van Buuren celebrates the 700th episode of his weekly radio show ‘A State of Trance’ and is handing over control of the episode to his fans. Over the past few weeks, listeners were asked to submit a voice recording of themselves introducing a favorite track for the show. The two-hour show, which will be broadcast tonight worldwide between 20:00 and 22:00 and on Friday on Radio 538 in the Netherlands from 23:00 to 01:00, will have been created entirely by the hands of the A State of Trance fans.
The radio show tonight is just the first part in a series of celebrations. Next week, Armin will start a new tour called “Together in A State of Trance”, a theme that has been chosen to involve the fans as much as possible in the tour. The tour will take the ‘A State Of Trance Festival’ to continents around the globe. So doing, Armin van Buuren will become the first DJ to have his own festival. It promises to be the biggest trance festival tour in history.

On February 21st, Armin will proudly host his only European A State of Trance Festival, organized at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. The show will be followed on April 11th by a show in Buenos Aires. A State of Trance will also have an internship during Ultra Music Festival in Miami, on March 29th. More tour dates will be announced soon.
