Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Big-room trance built on steady four-to-the-floor lift, long melodic builds, and bright synth hooks. His sets move between vocal anthems, rolling progressive sections, and hands-in-the-air breakdowns; the ADE bill with Benwal points to a sharper, harder edge than a pure legacy mainstage run.

More about Armin van Buuren

Armin is one of the core Dutch trance names, the force behind A State of Trance and a founder of Armada Music with Maykel Piron and David Lewis. His own site still frames him around the weekly radio show, the label family, and the long run of album-era tours that made him a global export from the Dutch scene.
