Trance nation: Armin Van Buuren comes to D.C.

Armin Van Buuren

Trance is still kicking, even if it has gone totally corporate. Dutch producer Armin Van Buuren is the keeper of the flame and glowsticks, and LiveNation is a co-sponsor for his show this Saturday, Nov. 19, when he’ll occupy the DC Armory along with Pleasurekraft and Robert Gonzalez. For years ranked the world’s most popular DJ — surpassing his compatriot Tiesto — Van Buuren hosts the 10-year-old global radio program A State of Trance, said to have the largest global audience for a radio show. Saturday, Nov. 19, starting at 5 p.m. DC Armory, 2001 East Capitol St. SE. Tickets are $40 in advance or $70 day-of show. Call 202-547-9077 or visit livenation.com.
