Armin van Buuren announces A State of Trance at Drumsheds London
Armin van Buuren has announced A State of Trance London. The trance icon will headline a special anniversary edition at Drumsheds on Saturday, November 14, 2026. It marks the first-ever indoor ASOT festival in the UK. Plus, it continues the brand’s 25-year celebration run.
Drumsheds sits as one of London’s most powerful industrial venues. Set within vast former warehouse spaces, ASOT London will deliver a festival-sized experience. The production leans into immersive design, cinematic visuals and state-of-the-art sound. Thousands of fans will gather under one roof.
For 25 years, A State of Trance has shaped the sound, culture and community of trance music. The brand grew from a Friday-night radio show in 2001 into a worldwide movement. Landmark events have landed across the globe. Now, ASOT enters a new chapter in the UK with an anniversary edition built for the scale and ambition of Drumsheds.
The Drumsheds booking sits alongside the broader 25-year run. Earlier this month, the team confirmed a free 25th anniversary community celebration at The Loft Amsterdam on June 1. Plus, Armin van Buuren has been steering the brand through key milestones. The first-ever face-to-face set with KI/KI at A State of Trance Vietnam on June 13 also sits on the calendar.
For London trance fans, the announcement marks a major moment. Drumsheds has hosted some of the biggest UK warehouse takeovers since launching. The space sits at the centre of the new wave of London industrial venues. Now, ASOT brings its full production scale to the venue for the first time.
Sign-ups for tickets are now live via the official A State of Trance site.
