The organizers and event staff delivered far beyond expectations. What happened on the festival grounds went beyond magic, and will always be a part of every person in attendance at the majestical extravaganza.

Armin van Buuren has been a key ingredient to the dance music scene as a whole and is the undisputed trance king. To celebrate his love for the music, culture, fans, and life, he played a super-extended seven-hour set at the amazing UNTOLD festival, and demonstrated what makes him such an elite and celebrated artist. While Armin was a major highlight, it was just one part of the adventure, there were many moments spread across the massive festival stomping grounds.
