Trance cornerstone Armin van Buuren is [locked](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT-hEQJAo_-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) in for a mammoth five-hour set and B3B slot alongside Oliver Heldens and Maddix, and also closes out day one with a face-to-face [session](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQUmzqeDWHO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) opposite Colombian DJ/producer Funk Tribu. [This was not on my 2026 bingo card ?](https://www.youtube.com/embed/jEYeRHHzHyQ?feature=oembed) Given the caliber of artists confirmed for the Netherlands, fans in Vietnam can gear up for a line-up stacked with serious heavy hitters. Armin van Buuren personally touched down in the country to hype up ASOT’s Asia return. His visit was highlighted by a surprise DJ set staged on the upper deck of a moving bus, teasing fans of what was to come and sending waves of ravers into a late-night frenzy across Ho Chi Minh City. Event graphics covered the vehicle, turning every street it passed, including the iconic Saigon Bridge, into a promotion for the upcoming anniversary show. Reflecting on the mobile performance, Armin van Buuren [expressed](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTkt1nEgoue/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) on social media, “This was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card. Loved it though and can’t wait to be back in June.” He also expressed gratitude for the warm reception, [posting](https://www.instagram.com/p/DTipB5NgqTT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), “It’s good to be back, Vietnam. Little surprise visit to celebrate our comeback with A State of Trance, thank you for welcoming me with so much love. See you again in June.” A State of Trance hits Hong Kong on June 12 at AsiaWorld-Expo, before making its Vietnam debut on June 13. **Find A State of Trance on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/asotlive/?hl=en) | [Website](https://www.astateoftrance.com/)** **For more festival updates and insights into dance music, ** **follow TFword on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/tf.word/) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thefckingword) | [X](https://x.com/thefckingword)** **You May Also Like:** [Hong Kong Gets Its First Taste of Dom Dolla This March](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/01/22/hong-kong-gets-its-first-taste-of-dom-dolla-this-march) [Bali Welcomes Day Zero’s Next Chapter](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/01/16/bali-welcomes-day-zeros-next-chapter) [Tomorrowland Sets Sight on Thailand for Landmark Festival Debut](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/01/09/tomorrowland-sets-sight-on-thailand-for-landmark-festival-debut) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F01%2F29%2Farmin-van-buuren-signals-asot-debut-in-vietnam-from-atop-a-moving-bus.md&text=Armin+van+Buuren+Signals+ASOT+Debut+in+Vietnam+From+Atop+a+Moving+Bus) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F01%2F29%2Farmin-van-buuren-signals-asot-debut-in-vietnam-from-atop-a-moving-bus.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Armin+van+Buuren+Signals+ASOT+Debut+in+Vietnam+From+Atop+a+Moving+Bus+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F01%2F29%2Farmin-van-buuren-signals-asot-debut-in-vietnam-from-atop-a-moving-bus.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
