Next year, on February 27 & 28, we celebrate 25 years of A State of Trance. Trance is more than music, it’s a passion, a culture, a way of life. What began as a radio show, with a small event to celebrate the 100th episode, has grown into something so much bigger. Over the years, our community has grown into a family. We’ve watched the genre evolve together, and now we’ll celebrate that journey side by side.

On Friday, 27 February, we’ll take you on a journey through 25 years of trance. Reliving the moments and honoring the icons who have defined the scene, while also embracing the future that lies ahead. A trip through the past, present, and future.

On Saturday, 28 February, A State of Trance returns in the way you know and love: more stages, the world’s best trance artists, and unforgettable moments shared with thousands of fans. Together with the artists who have shaped the genre, we’ll once again celebrate 25 years of trance.

Premiered during their back-to-back set at A State of Trance 2025 in Rotterdam, this blistering rework of D-Shake’s iconic ‘Techno Trance’ sees two trailblazers from different corners of the electronic spectrum collide to create a proper mainstage monster.

Originally featured in Netflix India’s hit series ‘Mismatched Season 3’ and composed by acclaimed music director Anurag Saikia, ‘Ishq Hai (This Is Love)’ is transformed into a cross-genre anthem by Armin van Buuren and Craig David. Reimagined for the global stage with the dance music star’s signature high-energy pulse and the U.K. R&B icon’s moving English verse, the once soft-spoken ballad now soars as a dance floor experience transcending borders and languages.

First premiered at Ultra Music Festival in Miami and eagerly awaited ever since, ‘Sleepless Nights’ marks the debut collaboration between dance heavyweights Armin van Buuren and Martin Garrix. Built around Libby Whitehouse’s stunning vocal performance and a trance-laced production that interlocks both artists’ sounds, this track captures the restless energy of late-night dance floors and the euphoria of losing yourself until the first morning light.

Unleashed by Armin van Buuren himself at EDC and UPPERGROUND, ‘Heavy’ is a peak-time powerhouse. Merging his signature sonics with the raw talent of rising star JOA, this vocal-driven banger is dark, intense, and fueled by a razor-sharp synth line, earning early support from Korolova, Kevin de Vries, Kasia and Adam Sellouk.
