Armin van Buuren closed EDC Las Vegas 2026 with an emotional sunrise trance set, and the full hour-plus is now on YouTube. The Dutch trance figurehead opened on his own 'Awake' (Intro Edit) and stretched across 24 tracks in the kineticFIELD sunrise slot, leaning heavy on classic-meets-current trance.

Then around the 31-minute mark, Armin van Buuren dropped the 2026 ASOT ELEVATION Anthem ‘Always You’ with Richard Durand and Dicosis — one of the biggest current trance anthems in his catalogue. The trance icon followed with ‘Like A Child’ with Argy ft. Marlo Rex. A massive mashup hit at the 41-minute mark combining HI-LO, Armin van Buuren & Martin Garrix’s ‘United In Trance’, Libby Whitehouse, and Ørjan Nilsen’s ‘Sleepless Nights’ alongside ‘Amsterdam’.
Plus, the set ran heavy on Rising Star material (Armin’s alias) and ASOT-anniversary nostalgia. Armin pulled in Gaia’s ‘Status Excessu D’ (the ASOT 500 anthem) in an ID Remix, Bart Claessen’s ‘Playmo’ (Sneijder Remix), CJ Bolland’s ‘The Prophet’ ID Remix, and an ID Remix of ‘In And Out Of Love’ with Sharon Den Adel. The Benwal Remix of ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ with Trevor Guthrie closed out the set.
Also, fan reaction has been emotional. “30 years of EDM history right here. Armin is the absolute King of Trance. This Vegas set is pure perfection,” one YouTube commenter wrote. Another framed it as a perfect EDC anniversary close: “What a perfect way to close out EDC 30th Anniversary with Pure Trance of blending the Old and New. Armin is forever the King of Trance.”
A third commenter wrote: “This set blew my mind by the one & only Armin van Buuren and I felt all the trance love brought tears to my eyes moving me through every song Armin played. I was at the front holding up a pink heart totem to support Armin.”
