🇬🇧Anjunadeep Open Air
ANNUALAnjunadeep Open Air is the Anjunadeep label's flagship outdoor event series, programmed around the deeper / progressive / melodic-techno-adjacent Anjunadeep roster — Lane 8, Yotto, Ben Böhmer, Tinlicker, James Grant & Jody Wisternoff. The London edition debuted at Three Mills Island in August 2018 and returned to the same venue in 2019; after the covid pause it restarted at The Drumsheds in 2021 and has since rotated outdoor venues — Finsbury Park in 2023 and 2024 (Above & Beyond, CRi, Eli & Fur, JGJW), then the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich for the 2025 edition. New York and other international editions are staged at outdoor amphitheatre and pier locations. The events sit at the intersection of progressive trance and melodic techno that defines the modern Anjunadeep sound.

Tomorrowland is the world's largest electronic dance festival, held every late July at De Schorre municipal park in Boom, Belgium across two consecutive weekends. Founded in 2005 by brothers Manu and Michiel Beers (originally an ID&T production), the festival's first edition was a single-day event on 15 August 2005 that drew roughly 9,000 attendees; today it draws approximately 200,000 visitors per weekend (around 70,000 per day) across some fifteen stages, including the Mainstage, Freedom, Atmosphere, Core, and Q-Dance. The dedicated A State of Trance stage debuted on Friday 28 July 2017 (Weekend 2), hosted by Armin van Buuren with the bill including Ruben de Ronde b2b Rodg, Ben Gold, David Gravell, Orjan Nilsen, MaRLo, Andrew Rayel and NWYR, and has returned in subsequent editions.

A State of Trance Festival is the live festival edition of Armin van Buuren's weekly ASOT radio show, which first aired on 1 June 2001. The festival has cycled through Dutch venues: Brabanthallen in Den Bosch hosted the landmark milestone editions ASOT 500 (9 April 2011) and ASOT 600 "The Expedition" (6 April 2013, drawing about 30,000 attendees across four stages including the Main Stage and "Who's Afraid of 138?!"). Jaarbeurs Utrecht then hosted ASOT 800 (2017), ASOT 900 (2019), and ASOT 950 (2020). The 1000th-episode celebration ASOT 1000 was originally scheduled for September 2021 but was postponed twice due to covid measures; it ultimately took place across two nights on 3–4 March 2023 at Jaarbeurs Utrecht with five areas. The festival relocated to Rotterdam Ahoy starting with the inaugural edition there on 23–24 February 2024. The 2026 edition (27–28 February at Rotterdam Ahoy) celebrates 25 years of A State of Trance. Line-ups span the full uplifting, progressive, tech, vocal, and psy-trance spectrum, with Armin himself closing.
