2019, a year to never forget. Those words hold a certain truth for both Armin van Buuren and Trance fans from all over the world. With an eight-hour broadcast of A State Of Trance during Amsterdam Dance Event, sold-out events in Utrecht, Madrid, Kiev, Miami, Mexico, Bay Area and Tomorrowland to celebrate the 900th episode with tens of thousands of people at each location, and the release of two albums from Armin van Buuren himself ('Balance' and 'Moons Of Jupiter' under his GAIA alias), the year of 2019 managed to exceed all expectations. And it's bound to become even better with the highly anticipated release of his 'A State Of Trance Year Mix 2019'.

Today, the five-time #1 DJ in the world unveiled the name and full tracklist of his seventh artist album. 'Balance', which follows on previous albums '76', 'Shivers', 'Imagine', 'Mirage', 'Intense' and 'Embrace', is set for release on October 25. Rumors that Armin van Buuren was putting the final touches to his new artist album have been circulating the web for months now, and it'll definitely please the legions of dance music fans to know that those rumors weren't false.  

Armin van Buuren and the island of Ibiza are simply made for each other. Having both been instrumental in shaping the future of dance music, they have connected countless times over the years for massive live shows, phenomenal summer residencies in clubs such as Hï Ibiza and a series of mix albums that has gotten the whole world addicted. And today, Armin van Buuren emerged with his sixth Ibiza-tinged mix album, proudly presenting the sound of this year's Ibiza summer through 'A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2019'. 

In and beyond the world of dance music, few connections are as strong as the one between Armin van Buuren and the crowd at UNTOLD Festival. Every UNTOLD live set of the world-renowned DJ thus far turned out to be an unbelievable spectacle, involving everything from scorching Trance tracks to tears of joy to playing a few hours extra simply because no one wanted the moment to end. And now, less than a month before the 2019 edition of the Romanian festival kicks off, Armin van Buuren and Avian Grays unleashed the festival's official anthem: 'Something Real' (feat. Jordan Shaw). And that's not all, because Armin van Buuren will hit UNTOLD Festival 2019 with the longest mainstage live set ever on his own dedicated day: Armin UNTOLD day.
