Friday night 22nd of October, at the DJ Mag
Awards show in Amsterdam, Armin van Buuren was awarded for number one DJ in the
critically acclaimed DJ Mag Top 100 poll. It’s the very first time in the
history of the poll that a DJ claims back the number one position. The Dutch
DJ, taking the lead in the popularity poll for a historic 5 times, also just
announced the first dates and cities of his A State of Trance 600 world tour
for next year. In April and March 2013, ASOT 600 shows will take place in
cities such as Beirut, Kuala Lumpur and Den Bosch. More cities will be
announced soon. Tickets for the Den Bosch show are now on sale.
This is the fifth time that
the Dutch DJ is voted the most popular DJ in the world and the first time ever
in EDM history that a DJ takes in the first place five times. Armin claimed
back the number one spot from David Guetta, who was voted #1 last year.
Armin:”Dance Music for me is
all about sharing. I'd like to share my passion for this kind of music and to
get so much recognition from the fans is simply amazing. Even the words ‘thank
you’ don't express my gratitude. I'm overwhelmed... I'd like to dedicate this
award to my family and fans. Without you I would be nowhere."
Hot off a busy summer season that included his own weekly night in
Ibiza’s Privilege, Armin is now fully focussing on the celebration of the 600th
episode of his radio show A State of Trance.
