Armin van Buuren presents « A State of Trance » - Opening Party

On 7 September 2026 at UNVRS in Sant Rafel de Forca, Spain, Armin van Buuren launches A State of Trance with an opening party built around a five-hour extended set. Figurehead of melodic and progressive trance since the late 90s, the Dutch DJ uses the long format to trace a clear narrative on the dancefloor: slow-burn lift-off, layered builds, vocal flashes and driving peaks, with the modern touches he’s woven into his sound over the years. ASOT turns 25, and the night leans into what made the platform a global reference: a tight selection of tracks, seamless transitions and that sense of momentum that keeps a room moving as one.

True to the spirit of ASOT, Armin invites handpicked friends and collaborators to join the journey on opening night. Expect a set that connects his radio-era classics with current productions, sidestepping pure nostalgia for a forward-facing flow. Long-form, focused and immersive, this is Armin in storyteller mode, shaping the room from first kick to final release and setting the tone for the weeks to come.
