How to Get Armin van Buuren Meet & Greet Tickets

4. Avoid third-party M&G resellers. Meet and greet passes are often non-transferrable — a resold pass may not be honored at the venue.

About Armin van Buuren

Armin Jozef Jacobus Daniël van Buuren was born on December 25, 1976 in Leiden, the Netherlands, and grew up in the nearby village of Koudekerk aan den Rijn before returning to Leiden to study law at Leiden University. His introduction to electronic music came through Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygène and Ben Liebrand's weekly mix shows on Dutch radio, which the teenage van Buuren recorded and studied through the late 1980s and early 1990s. His first releases — the 1995 single Blue Fear and the 1996 EP Touch Me on Cyber Records — landed during his university years and pushed him into the Dutch club circuit while he was still finishing his law degree. He never practised law. By 1999 he was producing full-time, by 2000 he had landed his first international hit with Communication and the remix of Push's Universal Nation, and by 2001 he had launched A State of Trance — the weekly two-hour radio show that started on ID&T Radio, moved to Radio 538, and went global through internet syndication. A State of Trance is the structural reason he became the largest trance artist in the world: by the late 2000s the show was broadcast on more than 40 stations across more than 30 countries, the annual A State of Trance event editions had moved to the 30,000-capacity Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, and the show's milestone episodes (ASOT 500, 600, 700, 800 and the subsequent round-numbered editions) had become destination weekends for the trance audience. The first studio album, 76 — named for his birth year — landed in 2003 and was followed by Shivers (2005), the breakthrough Imagine (2008, with the single In and Out of Love featuring Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation), Mirage (2010, with Drowning and Full Focus), Intense (2013, with the Trevor Guthrie collaboration This Is What It Feels Like that became his first Grammy-nominated single), Embrace (2015), Balance (2019) and the three-part Feel Again series across 2023 and 2024. Five times he was voted DJ Mag's number-one DJ in the world — in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012 — making him the only artist in DJ Mag history to win four years in a row. Outside the artist project, van Buuren co-founded Armada Music in 2003 with his manager David Lewis and Maykel Piron; the label has grown into one of the largest independent dance imprints in the world, has been named IDMA Best Global Record Label multiple times, and houses the Armin van Buuren back catalogue along with releases from Andrew Rayel, Lost Frequencies, Ruben de Ronde, Markus Schulz and others on the Armada and A State of Trance sub-imprints. He has been awarded the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Dutch crown and remains based in Leiden where he records at his Armada Music studios. The Feel Again I, II and III cycle is his most recent studio statement and the conceptual anchor of the current live show — a return to song-craft, vocal-led trance and the long-form emotional arc the early van Buuren records were known for, after a Balance-era pivot toward harder-edged festival material. The live audience response to Feel Again across Tomorrowland and the A State of Trance event series has been the strongest of any van Buuren album cycle in a decade.
