Armin van Buuren

It doesn’t take much to recognize that Armin van Buuren has been one of the most important DJs and electronic music producers in the world for over twenty years. His dedication to the scene throughout his life has earned him a Grammy® nomination for "This Is What It Feels Like" (with Trevor Guthrie) and critical acclaim for global hit singles like "Blah Blah Blah", "Great Spirit" (with Vini Vici), "Leave A Little Love" (with Alesso), and "Music Means Love Forever" (with Steve Aoki). Additionally, he has taken the number one spot in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll five unprecedented times, remaining in the top twenty for consecutive years (the most recent being #5 in the 2022 DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll).

Armin van Buuren has launched several worldwide 'Armin Only' tours over the years, including those based on his albums ('Imagine' in 2008, 'Mirage' in 2010, 'Intense' in 2013, and 'Embrace' in 2016) and 'The Best Of Armin Only' in 2017. In June 2022, two years later than originally planned due to the Corona pandemic, Armin van Buuren offered his most personal and intimate live shows through four sold-out performances at the Ziggo Dome: 'This Is Me - Feel Again'.

In addition to all this, Armin van Buuren is co-founder of Armada Music, the largest independent dance music label in the world. The Amsterdam, New York, and London-based label, founded in tandem with Maykel Piron and David Lewis, is internationally acclaimed for releasing music across the entire spectrum of electronic music.

As an artist, Armin has headlined countless shows at major festivals and venues worldwide, including Electric Daisy Carnival (Las Vegas, New York), Ultra Music Festival (Miami), and Tomorrowland (Belgium), as well as residencies in Hï Ibiza, Las Vegas, and numerous others.
