Armin van Buuren Brings F2F Concept to UNVRS Ibiza for ASOT 25

Four-Week Residency Celebrates A State of Trance Milestone

Armin van Buuren will bring his F2F concept to UNVRS Ibiza for a four-week run celebrating 25 years of A State of Trance. Running weekly from September 7 to October 5, 2026, the Dutch producer will command the main room with a special five-hour extended set every Monday. The artists joining him include Eli Brown, Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, and Argy, with one act performing alongside Armin each week.

F2F Format Relies on Live Communication, Not Shared Decks

Unlike standard back-to-back configurations where two DJs share a single mixer, Armin's F2F setup features completely separate gear arrays, forcing the artists to rely entirely on live communication, ear matching, and custom hand signals. The format has already proven successful: Armin played a widely discussed F2F set with John Summit at ASOT Poland at Legia Stadium in June 2026, described as a massive crossover moment for both artists. He also shared the stage with Funk Tribu at the same event, building momentum for their upcoming Ibiza pairing.

Recent ASOT Activity and Vinyl Release

Last week, Armin released a special vinyl-only classics set from UNVRS Ibiza on episode 1284 of A State of Trance.

Tickets for Armin van Buuren's UNVRS Ibiza shows are available now.
