A State of Trance Rotterdam has revealed its first wave of artists for February 26 and 27, 2027 at Rotterdam Ahoy. As always, Armin van Buuren leads the weekend, this time with a five-hour set, a solo set and an exclusive vinyl set across the two nights. We first reported the dates and vinyl set back in August, and now the lineup is starting to take shape.
Friday opens across four stages. Armin’s five-hour performance gives him room to move through the music that has shaped his sets over the years, alongside the sounds pushing the genre forward. The standout pairing is Aly & Fila b2b John O’Callaghan, bringing three defining names in trance into one set. They are joined by Alex M.O.R.P.H., Ben Gold, Billy Gillies, Ciaran McAuley, Dash Berlin, David Forbes, Farius, Modeā, Ørjan Nilsen, Push and Richard Durand.
On Saturday, the venue expands into five areas. Before the main program begins, Armin plays his exclusive vinyl set for guests with official hotel packages and Early Access tickets. He then returns later for a solo set. Vini Vici b2b Space 92, Key4050, Giuseppe Ottaviani & Hypaton and NRG2000 b2b SUPERSTRINGS lead the first names. Ferry Corsten will also play b2b with a partner still to be revealed.
The Saturday bill continues with BLR, Driftmoon, Enigma State, Factor B, Mark Sixma, Olly James, onTune, Ruben de Ronde, Sarah de Warren, Talla 2XLC, The Rocketman, XiJaro & Pitch and Youna. Together, the names mix artists with deep roots in the scene, new combinations made for Rotterdam and a rising generation finding its own place in trance.
Day tickets are now available alongside weekend tickets, so fans can choose one night or the full A State of Trance Rotterdam weekend. More artists and program details will follow soon via astateoftrance.com.
