Dreamstate 2025 in Long Beach, California, became a historic moment for trance enthusiasts on November 22, 2025, as Tiësto, the legendary DJ and producer, returned to his trance roots with a monumental set. The performance fused updated versions of classic anthems with cutting-edge tracks from today’s leading trance artists, creating an experience that resonated deeply with both longtime fans and a new generation of ravers.
A Setlist Bridging Past and Present
Tiësto’s carefully curated tracklist demonstrated his mastery in blending nostalgia with innovation:
Opening with Uplift: Tiësto & FORS – Bring Me To Life and Tiësto – Lost In The Ocean immediately pulled the crowd into a euphoric state.
Modernized Classics: His 2025 remixes of Worakls – Lueur and Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan – Silence breathed new life into timeless melodies.
Mashups and Anthems: Standouts such as Tiësto Saltwater vs. Gladys Knight (Mashup) and Tiësto vs. Billy Gillies & Betsy – Suburban Train vs. Fair captivated fans by bridging the golden era of trance with today’s sound.
Peak Energy Moments: Push – Universal Nation (Tiësto Techrave Mix) and Tiësto – Adagio For Strings closed the set with the high-energy euphoria Dreamstate is known for.
The full setlist included tracks by rising talents like DJ HEARTSTRING, Benwal, and Funk Tribu, underscoring Tiësto’s commitment to supporting the future of trance while honoring its roots.
The Health and Wellness Impact of Trance Music
Beyond its emotional resonance, Tiësto’s Dreamstate performance had measurable benefits for health and wellness. Scientific research highlights several ways trance music and dance festivals can positively impact the body and mind:
Cardiovascular Fitness: Studies in the Journal of Sports Medicine (2023) show that dancing at high BPM (beats per minute) events like trance festivals can elevate heart rates to levels comparable to moderate aerobic exercise, improving cardiovascular health.
Mood Elevation and Stress Relief: Research published in Frontiers in Psychology (2022) suggests that electronic dance music triggers dopamine release and reduces cortisol, lowering stress and increasing feelings of happiness.
Mindfulness and Flow: According to the Journal of Positive Psychology (2021), repetitive beats and immersive light shows facilitate “flow states,” enhancing focus and promoting mental well-being.
Social Connection: Collective experiences, such as dancing with thousands of like-minded fans, have been linked to increases in oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” which strengthens social and emotional health.
As the lights pulsed and waves of sound washed over the crowd, Tiësto’s set became more than a performance—it was a session of sonic therapy. Tracks like Elements of Life and Adagio for Strings served as both an emotional climax and a meditative reset, leaving attendees energized and uplifted.
Dreamstate 2025 proved that trance is not just music—it’s a pathway to physical vitality, mental clarity, and shared joy. And with Tiësto leading the way back to the genre that defined his early career, the future of trance feels brighter than ever.
