2026 will be the year of the 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved festivals for the EDM community, the A State of Trance festival.
The anniversary of the legendary trance music festival, curated by Armin van Buuren, will return to Rotterdam Ahoy on February 27-28, 2026 for an extraordinary edition that will once again write music history. The first names of the lineup have already been announced, including Oliver Heldens, Maddix and of course Armin van Buuren in an exclusive “back-to-back-to-back” set, probably similar to the Face2Face concept we saw this year in Ibiza. Also on the lineup: Cosmic Gate, Benwal, Tjade, Estiva, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Korolova, Laura van Dam and Mauro Picotto. The event will close with Armin van Buuren’s exclusive five-hour performance revisiting the highlights of 25 years of A State of Trance.
The ASOT 2026 edition promises the most ambitious and exciting atmosphere ever, with multiple rooms, diverse sounds, and cutting-edge production. More artists will be announced soon. Here’s a recap and the most useful info:
