New Dates This Is Me Announced
Dear friends,
Two weeks ago I was forced to make the difficult but fair decision to postpone the This Is Me shows to a new date.
My team and I worked hard behind the scenes with the Ziggo Dome to find suitable replacement dates. In these uncertain times it is difficult to plan ahead. I am very pleased to announce that we have been able to secure the Pentecost weekend of 2021 and that the new dates are Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 May 2021.
Because it concerns no less than five shows in four days, the shows can again take place in succession. Ticket buyers for the premiere night can still attend the premiere night, the Friday show remains the Friday show, the Saturday show remains the Saturday show and ticket buyers for Ascension Day 2020 can now party during Pentecost 2021, with many of you having a free Monday afterwards. This Is Blah Blah Blah remains on Saturday afternoon.
Purchased tickets remain valid for the respective dates for the shows in 2021. If you unfortunately cannot attend, you will be informed at a later time about subsequent steps to take. Ticket buyers will be notified of this by email.
I am very much looking forward to creating a series of unforgettable evenings with you. For now I hope to have informed you clearly and sufficiently. If you still have any questions, please check out the FAQ page of the event.
Stay safe.
X
Armin

Out Now: A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 14
Let’s tickle your imagination for a bit. The club is so packed you can hardly move. The lasers are quick-firing rays of color over the top of your head and the stroboscope’s flaring as the snare rolls pick up. The beat drop is imminent. You hold your breath, the people around you are bracing themselves and the music dies down only for a moment. And then, when it all comes together, when the iconic vocals start to play catch with the timeless melodies in a tempest of euphoria, you know you’re in heaven. And that exact feeling is at the core of ‘A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 14’.
A surge of nostalgia-infused memories, ‘A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 14’ is what some of the most beloved Trance classics of all time call home. From Avicii’s remix of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Drowning’ and Tiësto’s edit of Paul Oakenfold’s ‘Southern Sun’ to W&W’s ‘Mainstage’, Thomas Bronzwaer’s ‘Shadow World’ and other reigning classics from tastemakers such as Above & Beyond, Chicane, Dash Berlin, Markus Schulz, Moby and Vincent de Moor, this album taps into the bygone days to evoke moments of bliss in the here and now. It’s where the past stirs the present, where emotion meets elation, and where the magic of the moment inspires the modern-day madness.
‘A State Of Trance Classics, Vol. 14’ is more than just an album. It’s a tidal wave of memories, sensations and impressions packed into a collection of songs that changed the world. And through this album, those very songs may change the world yet again.
