Vietnam is about to make history as Ho Chi Minh City welcomes for the first time, A State of Trance festival, marking the only Southeast Asia stop in celebration of 25 years of ASOT this 13 June 2026. Fans from across the region are set to experience world-class electronic music, immersive production, and the unique sense of community ASOT is known for.
Presented by Ravolution Asia, Collective Minds and LIVESCAPE, this city debut festival promises a full-scale outdoor experience at Van Phuc City, one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most modern urban destinations and reinforces Vietnam’s growing status as a hub for international music and cultural experiences.
Created by Dutch DJ, producer, and global electronic music icon Armin van Buuren, A State of Trance began as a radio show in 2001 and has since evolved into a worldwide movement, reaching over 44 million listeners weekly across more than 80 countries.
As a five-time #1 DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 and a Grammy-nominated artist, Armin has spent over three decades shaping electronic music culture through visionary productions, groundbreaking live concepts, and a deeply personal connection with his audience.
Beyond the broadcast, ASOT has become synonymous with meticulously curated festivals and event series, celebrated for their cinematic production, emotional depth, and a fiercely loyal global community.
Each ASOT experience is designed not simply as a concert, but as a shared journey between artist and audience, uniting fans around the world through sound, storytelling, and connection.
As part of the A State of Trance 25 Years celebration, the Vietnam edition will feature a carefully curated lineup that reflects the sound, spirit, and future of the global trance movement.
Top-tier international supporting DJs, along with the collaborating artist for a highly anticipated face-to-face (F2F) performance, to be announced at a later date. Celebrated within the ASOT community for its spontaneity, collaboration, and rare one-off energy, the F2F format promises a unique moment designed exclusively for this milestone edition.
“A State of Trance has connected people through music for 25 years,” said Armin van Buuren.
“Now, for the first time, we’re bringing that experience to Vietnam, and I’m beyond excited to welcome Vietnamese fans into the ASOT family in this milestone year” he added.
The collaboration between Ravolution Asia, a leading force in Vietnam’s live entertainment landscape, and LIVESCAPE, a Southeast Asian pioneer in large-scale experiential festivals, and Collective Minds, one of Asia’s foremost touring and entertainment companies, signals a new chapter for electronic music in Vietnam.

“Partnering with Ravolution Asia and Collective Minds to bring ASOT to Vietnam during its 25th anniversary year reflects our belief in Southeast Asia as a growing cultural and tourism hub for major global music events” he added.
“At Collective Minds, we’ve always believed in the power of community and creativity to bring people together—whether through hardship or celebration.
Bringing A State of Trance to Vietnam is more than a show, it’s a testament to the strength of the Asian electronic music scene, and a moment for fans across the region to unite and dance together again.” said Zaran Vachha, Co‑Founder of Collective Minds.
