Smirnoff BE THERE presents Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance 500 Tour
Current MixMag Top 100 DJ top spot occupier & superstar dj Armin van Buuren has chosen South Africa as one of his destinations for his A State Of Trance Episode 500 (ASOT500) World Tour & MyCityByNight is bloody freaking excited to say the least.
The world’s number one DJ, Armin van Buuren, is teaming up with the new authority to in global entertainment Smirnoff to travel 5 continents, 5 cities to provide the world with 5 of the hottest party nights ever seen before in a month long tour from 19 March – 18 April 2011, which will include stops in South Africa, Europe, USA, South America and Australia.
Kreg & I know Armin fairly well & have sacrificed at least 104 goats between the two of us to recgonise his complete awesomeness. AvB produces the planet’s biggest & most listened to radio show entitled A State Of Trance, which improves millions of peoples rather boring lives on a weekly basis giving them the best in uplifting & progressive trance- leading them to feel happy and in dire need of sacrificing a goat.
Armin van Buuren’s ‘A State of Trance’ has seen unbelievable success in the eight years since it was launched, reaching an estimated 10-million listeners in 26 countries and over 30 radio stations and via satellite and internet radio stations. Its big- in every sense of the word. Fans worldwide will be able to tune into ‘A State of Trance’ & send through special dedications as we celebrate its 500th episode. (in fact I’m busy listening to episode 250 & the fully emotional dedications about how ASOT is more than just a music show right now- wooooohooooo!)
Adrian Petersen of Smirnoff South Africa had this to say-
“It’s been an incredible year for Smirnoff, and to be alongside the world’s number one DJ, Armin van Buuren, for his celebration of ‘A State of Trance 500 Tour’ we are excited to bring yet another once-in-a-lifetime experience to South Africa. We have recently hosted the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project, which was a phenomenal success and once again resetting the benchmark for Smirnoff globally. South Africa can expect an outstanding performance from Armin and other world-class DJ’s. In addition to the music, the venue itself will be supported by a mind-blowing Smirnoff production.”
MyCityByNight agrees with him- this is going to be shit-hot! We had the pleasure of seeing AvB tear up the Godskitchen Boombox last year & I think I actually shed a tear mid-set. Armin van Buuren, who has been ranked as the world’s number one DJ for four years running in the leading DJ Mag top 100 poll (which is mad), will be the fifth top international talent brought to South Africa by Smirnoff SA in the last year. Smirnoff brought South Africa the likes of Tiësto for the Smirnoff Experience Mashup Street, DJ Sasha for Smirnoff Experience, Above & Beyond as Smirnoff presented Godskitchen and Monika Kruse, ATB and Markus Schulz who recently brought Berlin’s Nightlife alive for the ambitious Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project. – Smirnoff SA bless your freaking soul!
Now onto the details
Jozi has been chosen as the city to represent SA & Africa and this will be the opening event of the global tour come 19 March 2011. Tickets can be bought from Computicket NOW.

http://www.last.fm/festival/1696148+A+State+Of+Trance+500
Just hope some of these guys are on the SA line up also like Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emmery, Markus Schulz & Aly & Fila
Cannot wait for this!!
Also waiting to see what MCBN can put together – sure there’ll be a chance to win some them tickets…
Nice find there Valdette!! Wowzers, this is truely going to be an epic experience… The MCBN crew is meeting up with Smirnoff SA today, so all will be revealed come next week!
Can’t wait to hear who the line up will be for Jozi. So freaking excited now!!! Shot for the info Valdette girl
MyCityByNights Tweets and FB are saying AVB in CT March 17 – please confirm. My heart’s beating so fast right now. Was just about to book my ticket to JHB. But if he’s coming to CT I’ll save all that money and have more to splurge on myself (“,)…………
I very much doubt it as the ASOT500 Roadshow happening, is only in 5 countries, 5 different cities
So if there’s a show in CT, it would make that 6 cities
So not sure where this info is coming from
Unless Armin is gona be here a few days before the time and play at some club a “show” not forming part of the official ASOT500 thingy if that makes sense LoL
We never lie Valdette
except about penis size and about how much we’ve had to drink haha
Didn’t say you were lying Ricky! Lol
My reply was way before I saw your updates…
Glad it’s confirmed! Like I said, sure a lot of CT guys will be happy about this – specially now that they don’t have to travel all the way to Jozi to see Armin
Rather bad luck though for those fela’s who already made bookings etc to come to Jozi
It has been confirmed… Yes thats right… Armin is coming to Cape Town because he loved it sooo much last time
5 cities in the world??? eh we’ll make it 6 just for the Mother City
THANK YOU SMIRNOFF SA… BE THERE!!!
17th March – CAPE TOWN BABY!!!!!!
Armin is coming to the mother city!
Stay tuned for all the details this weekend!
Nice nice! Sure a lot of CT ppl will be happy about that!
I do see now on the Smirnoff SA FB page that they made an update earlier lol
Not sure why i missed that update…
But looks like it’s gona be an “invite only” event…
In a way, that’s cool but it really does SUCK if you don’t receive that invite…
Good Luck all CT ppl
Looks like it will be a 6 city event
Check http://www.astateoftrance.com that states the 17th March 2011 as the official kickoff date, but nothing has been mentioned about CT
Although, i am pretty sure that CT would not be a invite only event imho
There is no mention becuase its only been release directly to us from Smirnoff and Armin now.
17th March in CT.
Venue to be confirmed.
Invite and also giveaways. You will be needing to buy product from Spar’s. However I will confirm all this with everyone in a post soon.
This is such bad news for those of us living in Jozi! I can’t believe it
And by invite only. I guess I can write this one off
Hope everyone in Cape Town enjoys tho, happy for you guys!!
Hey Maureen! Thinking you’re not on the same page here lol
Armin still coming to Jozi on the 19th of March at MTN Expo Center
He’s just now playing an extra show in Cape Town also… well, just because he can hehe
Eish, they can’t want to cancel 19 March in Jozi – my tickets are already booked!
Thanks for clearing that up Valdette! I just read HE’S COMING TO CAPE TOWN NOW, so I thought now, meant INSTEAD! lol!!! YAY, my Monday was nearly totally ruined!
Lol!! We’ll blame it on the fact that it’s Monday…
Glad I could be of some assistance with making sure your Monday was not completely ruined
Its only the Cape Town show that will be an invite only affair… No stress
hehe
Yeah thanks Ricky, Valdette told me, I nearly lost my mind – lol!

Hey guys
I have bought golden circle tickets allready for the smirnoff party presenting Mr. Armin van Buuren for the 19 March 11, just wanted to know if there is any back stage passes or how can we get Mr. van Buurens signature or even a photo with him please ? I know you get alot of request from all over, I will pay for the back stage or VIP tickets if there is any…Mr. van Buuren is my IDOL, it would just my my whole life PLEASE
Thank you guys and looking forward to the AWSOME NIGHT to come whoo hoo
Hi Carina,
getting backstage is going to be near impossible. The VIP tickets we have are for the Smirnoff area and not for backstage. Our media tickets will allow partial backstage. His management team are very strict and its proving difficult for people to even get interviews with him. If anything changes and there is anyway we can make you dream come true, we will try!
Its gonna be a great party!
do u have tickets to sell i need 2 desperately and dont mind 800 or more for it
