The ASOT Festival is more of a global phenomenon than just an event for electronic dance music fans. The event unites fans of the trance genre from across the globe, making it a remarkable experience hosted by the legendary Armin van Buuren. In 2025, A State of Trance will be back at Rotterdam Ahoy on February 21 and 22. With an even bigger gig, an amazing lineup of artists, brilliant production, and warmth from the worldwide community, A State of Trance promises an escape to euphoric beats.

Every year, ASOT provides an exciting lineup of very well-known trance artists. From progressive to uplifting trance, tech trance to psytrance, the festival brings together both legendary names and rising stars. The Friday lineup includes the 5-hour exclusive set of Armin van Buuren b2b with ARTBAT, Ben Hemsley, and Maddix, performances by Ahmed Helmy, Aly & Fila, Andrew Rayel, Factor B, Ferry Corsten, MRPHLNDR, and Ruben de Ronde b2b Ferry Corsten, among many others still to come. To ramp things up, Saturday pushes full throttle with Adam Beyer, Agents Of Time, Armin van Buuren, Ben Gold, BLR, Bryan Kearney, Cubicore b2b UUFO, Estiva, Farius, Giorgia Angiuli, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Hollt, Jochem Hamerling, Laura van Dam, Nifra, Ruben de Ronde, SUPERSTRINGS, and XiJaro & Pitch; and more surprises ahead.

But ASOT is not just about music; it is about the experience. Mind-blowing visuals of laser shows, pyrotechnics, and engaging stage designs all help to carry you off into another culture. There will be many such stages, for various styles-from vocal and progressive trance to hard-hitting techno trance-and thus every fan will get their perfect beat opened. With Insomniac Europe coming into the picture in 2025, the production is set to be more eye-gaping. 

The ASOT convention is probably one of the most special things about it. Trance fans worldwide now come together with an undying love for the music. The energy and vibes and the great connections found upon the dance floor is really what makes this festival such a unique experience. The Rotterdam 2025 edition gives fans a chance to join this worldwide movement in one of the highly energetic cities in Europe.

For any trance lover, ASOT is an event to tick off the bucket list. Going from being a long-time listener to Armin’s radio show or discovering the magic of all things trance for the first time, the festival promises a ride into sheer euphoria. With some of the best DJs, fireworks of production, and a crowd with unbeatable energy, ASOT is more like a feeling than a festival. Tickets can be booked through the Rotterdam Ahoy website. Though camping isn’t available on-site, the city has plenty of hotels.

The 2025 version of ASOT promises to be the most epic yet. Check the official ASOT Festival page for ticket details, lineup updates, and all other latest event information. Get ready for a night of nonstop trance, unity, and unforgettable memories!
