The king of trance graces New York City yet again in one of our most anticipated DJ sets of the year. After having the honor to witness the first stop of his Armin Only: Intense world tour in Amsterdam last November—a six-hour visual and auditory masterpiece meshing performance art and the best of Armin’s Intense, as well as the premier of Ping Pong—it is our pleasure to tell you that Armin van Buuren will start his North American tour off with a bang at Madison Square Garden in New York City this Friday.

Even after five unprecedented years with the title as number one DJ in the world, 2014 has the potential to be one of Armin’s biggest yet. His memorable solo set on Saturday of Ultra and his incredible return to his trance roots as Gaia the next day have rocketed Armin back into our spotlight, as well as the screens of nearly a million YouTube viewers in just over a week. If his performance in Ziggo Dome is any precursor to the atmosphere you’ll witness in Madison Square Garden, then you’re in for an intense surprise.
