AMF, the flagship event of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), has revealed its first 2025 headliner: the legendary Armin van Buuren. Marking his grand return after a one-year hiatus, the world’s most beloved trance DJ will once again command the stage at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, October 25.
With eight previous performances at AMF, Armin van Buuren has solidified his status as a fan-favorite and an integral part of the festival’s history. This year, he steps back into the spotlight for what promises to be another unforgettable night in one of the world’s most iconic electronic music arenas.
A Night of Epic Proportions
AMF 2025 will take place from 21:00 to 06:00, with a special warm-up performance from 20:00 to 21:00 for early-access ticket holders. Fans can expect an electrifying night filled with cutting-edge production, jaw-dropping visuals, and a lineup featuring A-list DJs—with more names yet to be revealed.
Expressing his excitement, Armin van Buuren shared:
“AMF has long been one of the pillar events during Amsterdam Dance Event, and I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be playing there again this year! It’s going to be massive!”
Fresh off the success of A State of Trance in Rotterdam, where he united tens of thousands of fans, Armin van Buuren is set to deliver another high-energy performance that will keep the crowd moving until dawn.
AMF 2025: A New Era Under Insomniac Europe
This year marks a new chapter for AMF, as Insomniac Europe—which took ownership in 2024—introduces a bold rebrand. While staying true to its core, AMF 2025 will showcase a refreshed identity and an even stronger connection to its Amsterdam roots.
The Johan Cruijff ArenA will once again be transformed into the world’s biggest nightclub, delivering a next-level production, spectacular light shows, and a crowd of 40,000 electronic music lovers from across the globe.
