Armin van Buuren Releases Long-Awaited Collab with Bon Jovi: ‘Keep The Faith’

Armin van Buuren has experienced countless unforgettable moments throughout his storied career, but few compare to when legendary American rockstar Jon Bon Jovi joined him on stage at Ultra Music Festival in 2024 to unveil an unreleased rework of Bon Jovi’s ‘Keep The Faith’. Now, the track is finally here, revealing an unexpected yet electrifying crossover between two legends in their field.

The collaboration began when Armin van Buuren pitched the idea of merging his signature trance output with Bon Jovi‘s classic rock sound, resulting in a high-energy fusion of their distinct and globally recognized styles.

Band frontman Jon Bon Jovi may not have come from the dance music world, but Armin‘s reinterpretation struck a chord with him instantly. Ultimately, he loved the track so much that when the Dutch legend invited him to join him on the main stage at Ultra Music Festival, one of electronic dance music’s most premier festivals, he didn’t hesitate — delivering one of the weekend’s most unforgettable moments and a surprise for the ages.

“Reworking this track was an incredible honor on its own, but having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment,” says Armin van Buuren.

“Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for ages, so this was truly special. I’m thrilled the track is finally out in the world, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”

“Bon Jovi songs have had some unique and epic moments over the years, but this is truly a highlight. Armin is a total pro and I was thrilled to work with him on the track,” adds Jon Bon Jovi. “I had such a blast at my first Ultra, the crowd was absolutely electric. Thanks to Armin for having me.”

A staple in Bon Jovi’s extensive repertoire, ‘Keep The Faith‘ was the lead single from the band’s album bearing the same name, released in 1992 to critical acclaim. The track peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top 10 in several countries, including the U.K. and Canada.

Now, Armin van Buuren drops the first official remake of the iconic track, infusing his signature sound by seamlessly blending electronic elements into the rock anthem.

[UNVRS] is a groundbreaking venue redefining the Ibiza nightlife experience merging the best sound system, cutting-edge technology, avant-garde stage design, and world-class production.

Designed to adapt and evolve, [UNVRS] continuously reimagines the dancefloor as a living, breathing entity, where music, and art converge in new and unexpected ways.

Here’s what Jamie Jones had to say:

“I’m thrilled to announce that Paradise will be moving to [UNVRS] in 2025. My connection with this venue is profound, as my first Ibiza residency was in the Music Box for Manumission at Privilege. In its former incarnation, this venue was where I laid the groundwork and foundations for my Ibiza DJ career, and I have some cherished memories from that time.

As soon as I saw what The Night League was planning, I knew this was the right move for us. I truly feel that Ibiza is primed and ready for a fresh venue, and the plans for the club excited me immensely. I genuinely believe that this will be THE venue for the next generation of Ibiza partygoers and seasoned Ibiza fanatics alike.

Moving to [UNVRS], we will be able to bring our wildest conceptual and production dreams to life. This year, our theme is Sands of Solaris; we plan on bending reality between visual and physical dimensions, where a world of electric nomadic travelers traverse time to majestic, ancient, and futuristic cities.

I want people to come to Paradise and be immersed in this voyage of all voyages, and leave transformed.”

Paradise reinforces its position as a global powerhouse in club culture, continuously shaping the scene from underground roots to worldwide recognition. By embracing the innovation and limitless possibilities that [UNVRS] offers, Paradise is entering its most adventurous chapter yet.

The venue’s state-of-the-art sound system and next-gen visual technology provide the perfect backdrop for Jamie Jones’ signature sound—funky basslines, deep melodies, and groovy, stripped-back percussion—blending house and techno with an electrifying futuristic edge. Combined with his dynamic energy, this creates a one-of-a-kind experience that stays true to the brand’s Ibiza essence while pushing it into the future.

The addition of Paradise on Wednesdays further cements [UNVRS] as the definitive destination for the 2025 season.

“It is an honour for us to have Jamie Jones and Paradise with us in our first year. At [UNVRS], we are creating a venue designed to bring innovative and cutting-edge concepts to life, and Paradise is a perfect example of this. Witnessing the evolution and transformation of such an iconic brand is a truly unique experience. We can’t wait to share it.” Yann Pissenem, Owner, Founder & CEO of The Night League and Ushuaïa Entertainment added when speaking on the announcement.

Paradise: Sands of Solaris at [UNVRS] opens on 18th June and runs for 16 weeks until its grand finale on 1st October.

Tickets and updates are available on the official website.
