🇹🇭UnKonscious Festival 2027

Sunburn Festival is India's flagship dance festival, founded in 2007 with its first edition staged on the beach at Candolim in Goa. Early editions were the formative document of the modern Indian dance-music scene, drawing both the established Goa psy-and-trance audience and a new mainstream Indian electronic audience. The festival ran at Vagator, Goa from 2008 through 2015, then relocated to Pune, Maharashtra for the 2016–2018 editions, before returning to Vagator in 2019. The 2024 edition (18th overall) ran 28–30 December at a new venue in Dhargalim, North Goa (Pernem taluka), 15 km from the newly opened Mopa International Airport. Trance has been a constant — Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Aly & Fila, Andrew Rayel, and Vini Vici have all played multiple editions across the festival's run.

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. Armin van Buuren has been a recurring Tomorrowland headliner since the inaugural 2005 edition. The 2026 festival is officially announced for July 17–19 and 24–26.

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) celebrated 25 years of A State of Trance; the 2027 edition is scheduled for 26–27 February at Rotterdam Ahoy. Line-ups span the full uplifting, progressive, tech, vocal, and psy-trance spectrum, with Armin himself closing.

EDC Las Vegas is Insomniac's flagship US festival — three nights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway each May, drawing more than 500,000 attendees across the weekend in 2024 (it is the largest electronic dance music festival in North America). EDC was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Rotella at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles and relocated to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2011. The festival is organised around themed stages including the kineticFIELD main stage and circuitGROUNDS. The dedicated trance stage, quantumVALLEY, debuted in 2017 and is presented in partnership with Insomniac's Dreamstate brand, programmed across the uplifting, progressive, tech, and psy-trance spectrum. Aly & Fila have played quantumVALLEY repeatedly (including 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022) and Andrew Rayel has appeared in recent editions; Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond have appeared on the kineticFIELD main stage. The 2027 edition has been officially announced as the festival's first two-weekend format (14–16 + 21–23 May) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
