As A State of Trance (ASOT) continues its 25-year anniversary celebration, Armin van Buuren has officially announced the supporting acts joining him at [UNVRS] Ibiza for his innovative F2F concept. This four-week residency marks a massive milestone for the trance legend, taking place at what is widely considered the top nightclub in the world. Running weekly from September 7 to October 5, 2026, the residency promises a unique experience for fans of the genre.
Armin is set to perform alongside one high-profile guest per F2F show, though he clarified that these sets will not be traditional back-to-back performances. Instead, he will command the main room with a special 5-hour extended set every Monday at [UNVRS]. The artists confirmed to join him include Eli Brown, Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, and Argy.
The synergy between Armin and these artists is already well-established. Notably, Armin has previously shared the stage with Funk Tribu, including a standout F2F set at ASOT Poland at Legia Stadium in June 2026. This Ibiza residency serves as a natural evolution of that successful pairing.
Unlike standard back-to-back configurations where DJs share a single mixer, Armin’s F2F setup utilizes completely separate gear arrays. This forces artists to rely entirely on live communication, ear matching, and custom hand signals, creating a more technical and engaging performance dynamic. This format gained significant attention following his successful F2F set with John Summit at ASOT Poland earlier this year.
For those looking to catch these performances, tickets for Armin van Buuren’s [UNVRS] Ibiza shows are available online.
