A State of Trance Announces Debut US Festival in Los Angeles

1 week ago 6

**A State of Trance Los Angeles will take over Ace*Mission on June 11-12, marking the first time the brand will host a multi-day, multi-stage experience on US soil.**

It’s official! A State of Trance (ASOT) is finally coming to the US in full form. The news first broke earlier this month when ASOT leader Armin van Buuren took the stage for an exclusive pop-up event in Los Angeles and announced the dates for its arrival: June 11-12, 2027. More information has since surfaced about the debut edition of this trance-fueled extravaganza.

Today, ASOT and Insomniac announced that A State of Trance Los Angeles will debut at the newly opened venue Ace*Mission in the greater downtown area. The multi-day, multi-stage affair will mark the brand’s first in North America, having previously hosted only satellite events and stage takeovers. The official ASOT Hotel Experience will also debut that weekend, giving fans a dedicated hub with exclusive events and more.

Attendees can expect a full range of trance styles, from euphoric and uplifting to tech and psytrance, plus melodic techno and other adjacent genres. To top it off, the venue’s dual nature lets the party start outdoors during the day and move indoors later into the night.

While details remain limited, including the lineup, which is still under wraps, and information about the ASOT Hotel Experience, there’s plenty of hype around A State of Trance Los Angeles’ debut. This has grown since Pasquale Rotella and Armin van Buuren leaked during an ASOT episode at Amsterdam Dance Event in 2024 that it was in the works.

The two renowned figures in dance music also have a long legacy of working together. In 2012, ASOT 550 toured Beyond Wonderland SoCal, EDC New York, and EDC Las Vegas, and the brand returned to Sin City in 2017 to host the quantumVALLEY stage. ASOT 900 Bay Area and ASOT 1000 Los Angeles were single-stage events co-produced by the two, while Insomniac Europe has partnered with the editions across the pond in Rotterdam and beyond.

The presale for A State of Trance Los Angeles kicks off Thursday, October 22 at 10am PT, with the general sale beginning at 11am PT that same day. Head to the official website to pre-register for presale access, and stay tuned for more details, including the lineup.
