Trance at festivals

Trance grew out of the Frankfurt techno and EBM scene around 1990, then spread across Europe. It split early into branches: progressive, uplifting with its classical-style build-ups, vocal trance, hard trance, and psytrance, born when the German sound travelled back to Goa. Festivals follow the same divide: one- or two-day events in arenas and city sites for melodic trance, multi-day open airs with camping for psytrance.

For melodic trance, A State of Trance, Armin van Buuren's radio show on air since June 2001, moved its flagship festival to Rotterdam Ahoy and marked its 25th anniversary there in February 2026. In the US, Dreamstate, Insomniac's trance brand, takes over two November nights in Southern California and heads to Sydney and Melbourne in February. On the psytrance side, Indian Spirit fills five days and four nights in late August at Eldena, Germany, across six stages. Pack a tent.
