Armin van Buuren

Armin van Buuren sits in the small group of DJs who helped define trance as a global mass-audience format. The Dutch producer has spent decades building that status through records, marathon sets, and the reach of A State of Trance, the weekly platform that kept his name moving across generations of dance fans. His 2026 World DJ Festival booking alongside Marshmello, Zedd, and Eric Prydz gives Seoul one of the clearest prestige signals on the lineup. It also connects naturally to BEPC Tangent and the event's Seoul Land staging.
