A State of Trance Reveals First Wave of Artists for Rotterdam 2027

A State of Trance has revealed the first wave of artists for its Rotterdam 2027 edition, taking place February 26 and 27 at Rotterdam Ahoy. Armin van Buuren anchors both nights with three separate performances: a five-hour set on Friday, a solo set on Saturday and an exclusive vinyl set before Saturday’s main program begins.

The extended Friday set covers the records that shaped his sets over the years alongside the sounds pushing trance forward now. The vinyl set is reserved for guests on official hotel packages and Early Access ticket holders ahead of Saturday’s five areas opening up.

Vini Vici and Space 92 Go Back-to-Back

Saturday’s headline pairing is Vini Vici b2b Space 92. The Israeli psytrance duo and the French techno producer released ‘Free My Soul‘ with CERES on Armada Music in August, a record that pulls psytrance and techno onto the same track.

Listen to ‘Free My Soul’ below.

Trance Veterans Across Both Nights

Ferry Corsten is booked for a Saturday back-to-back, with his partner to be announced later. Giuseppe Ottaviani & Hypaton are also on Saturday, along with Talla 2XLC.

Friday leans on longtime trance names. Aly & Fila b2b John O’Callaghan puts three of them on one set, while Dash Berlin, Push, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Richard Durand and Ørjan Nilsen fill out the Friday program across four stages.

Saturday also brings newer pairings like NRG2000 b2b SUPERSTRINGS, plus sets from Key4050, Mark Sixma and Sarah de Warren. The brand confirmed its 2027 dates in August, and more artists and program details are still to come.

Day tickets are now on sale alongside weekend tickets, so fans can pick one night or the full weekend. The event is 18+. Tickets and more info are available at astateoftrance.com.
