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.

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.

A natural follow-up to ‘Breathe In’ in both sound and meaning, ‘Breathe Out’ sees a new, healthier and reconnected Armin van Buuren deliver the second and final part of his ninth studio album, ‘Breathe’. Inspired by a stronger sense of self, more creativity and an even more dauntless approach to studio work, the album comprises a total of 39 tracks, from chart-topping hits to surprising collaborations (e.g. Pendulum & Rob Swire, Sam Gray, Moby, Bon Jovi) and new tracks, such as ‘Let It Be For Love’ (feat. JAI RYU) and ‘Want Some More’ (feat. Sam Harper). It is chockful of sound fusions and expert songwriting, showing that a balanced mind and lifestyle can lead to wonder.
“‘Breathe Out’ really shows how far I’ve come, not just as an artist, but as a person. This album is about creative freedom, living fully, and putting everything I’ve learned – especially through my journey with mental health and self-growth – into the music. In many ways, it feels like coming full circle.” – Armin van Buuren
