No, it’s not a joke, but one of the news of the year: Tiësto will play pure trance music next November at the US edition of Dreamstate
That something unexpected was about to happen had been in the air for some time: the idea of embarking on a time-travel journey with a special set dedicated to the magical era of In Search of Sunrise compilations – which he famously mixed during early 2000s – initially seemed like nothing more than a nostalgic tribute to his career. However, his recent set in Mexico City for his special PRISMATIC tour a few weeks ago, along with the heartfelt words he shared in honor of the genre that made him a global star after the event, had already piqued our curiosity.
The news, just announced moments ago, hits like a bombshell and confirms the growing rumors of recent months: Tiësto will be among the headliners of Dreamstate USA, in South California, taking place on November 21 and 22, 2025, at the Queen Mary Waterfront in Long Beach, with a full trance set !
The participation of the legendary trance icon was announced by Pasquale Rotella, founder of Insomniac and one of the brilliant minds behind countless dance events across the United States and worldwide for decades: lately, he’s also been involved with recent A State Of Trance events. Tiësto will now be part of the event celebrating its 10th anniversary in California, with a lineup that’s shaping up to be more and more exciting, featuring names like Bryan Kearney, Chicane, Gareth Emery, Paul Oakenfold, David Forbes, Hel:sløwed, Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk with Aly & Fila, and many more !
All the information and ticket purchase options for the mega trance event in November are available on the official website Dream State SoCal: tickets on sale Thursday, July 17 at 12PM PT !
By confirming his participation in one of the world’s premier trance events, Tiësto officially breaks down barriers and confirms his desire to return to playing trance music: to say we’re excited would be an understatement !
