Armin van Buuren starts tour in Joburg

Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance 500 Tour was launched eight years ago and has reached an estimated 10 million listeners in 26 countries and over 30 radio stations and via satellite and internet radio stations. Fans worldwide will be able to tune into A State of Trance as it celebrates its 500th episode.

Armin van Buuren, who has been ranked as the world's number one DJ for four years running in the leading DJ Mag top 100 poll, will be the fifth top international talent brought to South Africa by Smirnoff SA in the last year.

Trance is versatile

He has recently won awards as Best Global DJ (2010), Best International DJ (2010), Best Progressive House/Trance Track (2009) Best Music Video (2009) and Best European DJ (2009). "What makes trance work so well is that it doesn't stick to one style. It can incorporate electro, minimal, whatever it likes," Armin said.

Tickets can be bought from Computicket.
