The complete lineup revealed today is filled with artists who have shaped the history of the radio show over its twenty-five years
We’re in the week leading up to the Amsterdam Dance Event and – unlike previous years – we already know many details about the next edition of A State Of Trance, which will be highlighted by the mega event on the weekend of February 27 and 28, 2026, at Ahoy Rotterdam. As we know, this event will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the radio show founded by Armin van Buuren back in May 2001, a show that has transformed, narrated, and defined much of the history of the trance genre.
A few weeks ago, Armin van Buuren and his team had already announced many of the artists taking part in the event, and we couldn’t help but notice the high quality of the names revealed, which truly reflect the twenty five-year legacy of A State Of Trance: today, the full lineup of the event has finally been revealed, confirming the event’s intention to fully represent its rich history – and, to some extent, the developments of recent years as well.
