TranceFamily, prepare for your yearly mecca to The Netherlands! Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance (ASOT) festival is making its highly anticipated return to the Ahoy Rotterdam on February 21st and 22nd, 2025. With an expanded two-day format and a powerhouse partnership with Insomniac Europe, the ambitious event promises bigger lineups, more stages, and a heightened festival experience.
For those eager to secure their spot at ASOT 2025, pre-registration for tickets is now open. Pre-sale tickets will be available on September 5th at 5:00 AM EST (11:00 CEST), with general ticket sales following an hour later. Given the festival’s growing popularity, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so early registration is highly recommended.
Since its inception as a weekly radio show in 2001, A State of Trance has grown into a global movement, uniting millions of fans through its promotion of up-and-coming artists and world premieres. This year’s event will feature a unique five-hour set by Armin van Buuren on Friday night, where he will perform back-to-back with some of the biggest names in the trance scene. Saturday will see over 25 DJs performing across five stages, showcasing the very best that trance music has to offer.
In addition to the music, the ASOT Hotel experience is returning, offering fans exclusive perks such as early access to the festival and breathtaking views of Rotterdam. This year, the ASOT Hotel has partnered with Hilton to provide an even more luxurious and immersive experience for guests. Pre-sale packages go live on September 4th at 11:00 CEST.
A New Partnership with Insomniac Europe
“A State of Trance is only getting bigger and bigger, so I’m excited to partner with Insomniac Europe as we continue to achieve greater heights,” Armin van Buuren revealed. “Last year we saw a huge expansion, not only moving to Rotterdam but also turning this festival into a two-day experience with our very own hotel, two shows, dozens of artists, speakers, events and all kinds of activities. This really feels like a new chapter for us and I am excited to see what we can achieve together.”
