Two times 40,000 fans from 97 different countries in a sold-out Amsterdam ArenA, a behemoth LED screen (1200m²), two-hundred crew members, two-thousand blasts of fireworks and so much more. It’s no surprise that ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ truly was Armin van Buuren’s biggest solo show ever.

Armin van Buuren: “I’m still shaking from all this. This show, this crowd… It was absolutely phenomenal. I’m a bit bummed out that it has gone by so quickly, but I enjoyed this so, so much. I’d like to thank everyone for their support and all of their hard work, my fans of course and also Alda, 250K, DLP, Armada and Corrino Media Group. ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ isn’t just my ultimate highlight. It’s ours!”

The livestream on arminonly.tv, Facebook Live and Dutch television station RTL 4, which reeled in over 4.8 million viewers from all over the globe, showed the full extent of ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. Joined on stage by 22 artists, 45 dancers, ten acrobats, four trampolinists and a drum band of fifty-six strong, Armin van Buuren went all out on all fronts for ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. It is without doubt a show tantamount to the artistic stature of Armin van Buuren.

Past Saturday, before the start of the second show at the Amsterdam ArenA, Armin van Buuren launched his ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ album. The album captures the essence of all of Armin van Buuren’s previous ‘Armin Only’ shows and contains its highlights as well as the new music played during ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. The album is also available in a special box, which includes four photo cards, a custom-made sound box and 56 pages of exclusive photo material in addition to the two CDs.

Every artist, no matter how big or small, needs someone around. Someone who supports you no matter what and someone who isn’t afraid to tell you to take things slower once in a while. To me, that someone is mom. Thank you for everything!

A wise man once said that it’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey that gets you there, about the progress you make while trying to push your limits. When Armin van Buuren started off with his first Armin Only show in 2005, nobody knew it would become as big as it is today. But he embraced the experience and let it inspire him. That journey is what makes Armin van Buuren the artist he is today. That journey is what makes ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ a phenomenal new chapter in his career.

The ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ Special Box is what captures the essence of all of Armin van Buuren’s Armin Only shows. Packing four photo cards, one sticker, one custom-made shoutbox and two CDs brimming with the highlights of his previous Armin Only shows as well as the new music that will fill out ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ shows in May 2017, this Special Box embodies Armin van Buuren’s life-long dedication to his craft and the paths he has taken.

‘The Best Of Armin Only’ is not where the journey ends. It’s merely another exciting new bend in the long and winding road that we hope will go on forever.
