Marking 25 years of A State of Trance, Armin van Buuren elevates the anniversary celebrations with the release of the twenty-third annual album installment. ‘A State of Trance 2026’ delivers three fresh mixes, across three brand-new themes, showcasing the definitive sound of trance in 2026.

Mix 1: ‘Pulse’ spotlights a series of new collaborations from Armin van Buuren alongside artists like Argy, Andrew Bayer, and Skytech. It also features the BLR remix of ‘Tuvan’ by GAIA, plus standout tracks from Joris Voorn, Max Styler, OTTAGON, and more.
Mix 2: ‘Frequency’ brings its own distinct flavor and is filled with club energy. It’s packed with standout tracks from artists like Amy Wiles, Farius, and SUPERSTRINGS, and features the official 2026 A State of Trance anthem, ‘Always You.’
Mix 3: ‘Energy’ shifts gears into higher intensity, delivering faster, driving beats built for movement and momentum, with names like KI/KI, Lilly Palmer and the Rocketman, alongside rising acts such as S3PPA, DEVERAUX, LAWTON, and Deckers.

This project wasn’t something I originally planned to share. It’s not dance music no beats, no drops, just piano and strings. I recorded the album here at ConcertLab, and it felt right to return to this room to try it live for the first time.
On February 10th, I’m opening the doors to a try-out show. It’s an experiment, a different format, and a chance to see this music in its earliest live form. One night, one setting, one opportunity to be there.

We all encounter moments that challenge who we are and who we might become. We stumble, we doubt, we fall – but within those moments lies the spark of transformation. It isn’t just change. It’s courage. It’s fire. And that same bravery is at the core of the twenty-second installment of Armin van Buuren’s annual year mix series: ‘A State of Trance Year Mix 2025 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’.

Opening with a powerful narration that sets the stage for transformation, this 113-track journey takes you through the sounds that breathe courage, reinvention, and unshakable energy. From uplifting anthems and emotive vocal tracks to driving, boundary-pushing tech-trance, the mix features productions from Armin van Buuren, Omnia, Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, and many more. Collaborations with artists such as Bon Jovi, Martin Garrix, KI/KI, Sam Gray, and Malou highlight the spirit of connection and reinvention, while tracks such as ‘Set Me Free (Rising Star Remix)’, ‘Put Your Bassline’, ‘Holding The Light’, ‘Marama (Moon & Stars)’, and ‘Missing Part Of Me’ demonstrate the power to transform moments into memories.

Whether through soaring melodies or relentless grooves, this mix invites you to take the leap, embrace the unknown, and let the music guide your own transformation. All together, in A State of Trance.

AMF has announced its official anthem for 2025: ‘Put Your Bassline’, a debut collaboration between Armin van Buuren and KI/KI. The track will be released on October 24, one day before the pair’s back-to-back performance at AMF, in collaboration with 750 Years of Amsterdam in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. ‘Put Your Bassline’ is the first official AMF anthem co-produced by two headliners. The track combines Armin van Buuren’s trance influences with KI/KI’s underground sound, reflecting the contrast that defines this year’s II=I performance. Together, the two artists explore the connection between their different musical backgrounds and approaches to electronic music. Their first B2B took place two years ago during ADE, and this year they’re reuniting for the II=I concept, with their new track serving as the official anthem.
