Made Event presents
ARMIN VAN BUUREN
A STATE OF TRANCE 450 CELEBRATION
@ Roseland Ballroom
New York City

Friday, April 2: Armin van Buuren, Roger Shah, Menno De Jong, Rank 1, M.I.K.E., Cerf & Mitiska, Eco

Saturday, April 3: Armin van Buuren, John O’Callaghan, Lange, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Giuseppe Ottaviani, Filo & Peri, Breakfast

Made Event is proud to present a two day ‘A State of Trance 450’ celebration with the world’s #1 DJ Armin van Buuren and some very special guests at Roseland Ballroom on Friday and Saturday, April 2 & 3, 2010.

Armin van Buuren has provided New York audiences with some of its most cherished events of the ‘00s.  As the Dutchman’s popularity grew to seemingly unreachable heights, the scale of his performances followed.  During the early part of the decade, New York saw Armin perform at some of its most elite clubs like Spirit, Crobar, and Pacha NYC.   However, as the Armin van Buuren brand grew, there would be few city venues’ that could contain him.  Soon Armin took his DJ set out of the clubs and into large-scale venues like Brooklyn’s Tobacco Warehouse, McCarren Pool, the massive indoor space of Roseland Ballroom, Governor’s Island and, of course, the headlining set of the first night of the inaugural Electric Zoo festival in 2009.  Now Armin returns to Roseland Ballroom armed with a collection of his finest tunes, a stellar two-day lineup of DJ’s, and top notch production, stellar visuals & extraordinary sound provided by Made Event.

Armin van Buuren’s radio show ‘A State of Trance’ has been going strong for the better part of a decade. With an estimated 10 million listeners on local, internet and satellite radio stations around the world, ‘A State of Trance’ is one of dance music’s most popular radio programs, garnering multiple accolades throughout its historic run.  The show’s weekly blend of new tunes, future favorites and classic tracks remains the perfect place for trance fans to keep close track of the music they love.

In 2009 ‘A State of Trance’ celebrated its 400th broadcast with an unforgettable series of events. A 72-hour non-stop radio broadcast from clubs in Germany, U.K. and The Netherlands featuring over 60 DJs.  With ‘A State of Trance 450’ Armin van Buuren is set to go bigger and bolder than ever before as he and some special guests travel to 2 continents, 4 countries and 5 clubs in celebration of the show’s 450th episode. The celebration kicks off in Toronto then journeys to New York City for two huge dates before returning to Europe for events in Slovakia and Poland.

NEW ISLAND FESTIVAL presents
ARMIN VAN BUUREN

As part of the New Island Festival’s celebration of provocative theatre, stunning site specific performances and dazzling visual arts, world famous Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren will be bringing the dance floor to Governors Island’s Water Taxi Beach for a FREE dance party on Saturday, September 12th, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

As a producer, DJ, and electronic music pioneer, Armin van Buuren has secured his place as one of the most influential musicians around. Known as an innovator of trance, Van Buuren is largely considered the #1 DJ in the world, playing to enormous sold out crowds, and broadcasting his weekly radio show “A State of Trance” to over 30 million people in 40 countries, making it the largest radio audience on the planet!

Direct from Holland, the New Island Festival will set up stakes on New York City’s Governors Island from September 10–13 and again from September 17–20. The festival will kick off the fall with provocative theatre, stunning site-specific performance, dazzling visual arts and exhilarating DJ sets, performed by world-class Dutch performers. More than 150 artists will perform during the festival to celebrate the universal character of art and culture, and the special bond between Holland and New York City.

Before his set, Armin van Buuren will be officially announced by the Dutch royal family’s Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima of The Netherlands.

GETTING THERE… A Water Taxi departing from Pier 11 at the base of Wall St. (just a few blocks south of the South Street Seaport) will bring you to the Water Taxi Beach. Entry is FREE but you must purchase a $10 round trip Water Taxi ticket to get to the island. *Admission to the event requires the purchase of this ticket on the Water Taxi and travel to Governors Island on these reserved boats. Water Taxis will be leaving from Pier 11 in Manhattan every 15 minutes starting at 11am.  GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

After the show, stay and enjoy all the other events happening at the New Island Festival, including the Silent Disco (a “quiet” dance party where all the participants wear headphones) and all of the incredible free shows on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams at the center of the festival. Governors Island will be open until 12 midnight!

The New Island Festival is part of NY400, which celebrates the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage from Amsterdam to New York Harbor, and commemorates 400 years of enduring friendship between the Netherlands and the United States.
