Drumsheds has become one of London’s leading venues for large-scale electronic music events. That scale makes it a perfect fit for A State of Trance. ASOT events have always focused on more than just music. Massive LED production, cinematic intros, lasers, emotional crowd moments, and extended sets from some of trance music’s biggest artists have become part of the experience itself. Putting that energy into Drumsheds feels like a milestone moment for ASOT. 25 Years of A State of Trance What started in 2001 as a weekly radio show hosted by Armin van Buuren eventually grew into one of electronic music’s most important global movements.
