AMF REVEALS FIRST HEADLINER: ARMIN VAN BUUREN RETURNS TO THE JOHAN CRUIJFF ARENA

AMF, HISTORICALLY THE BIGGEST AND MOST NOTEWORTHY EVENT TO TAKE PLACE DURING ADE, HAS ANNOUNCED ARMIN VAN BUUREN AS ITS FIRST 2025 HEADLINER, MARKING A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE JOHAN CRUIJFF ARENA FOR THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR TRANCE ACT.

AMF returns to the Johan Cruijff ArenA during ADE, with none other than trance icon Armin van Buuren leading the charge. After a 1-year hiatus, AMF 2025 sees the world-renowned DJ return to a venue he’s grown familiar with. Over the years, van Buuren has become a mainstay on AMF’s award-winning stage, having performed for its 40,000 visitors eight times before. AMF 2025 is set to take place on Saturday October 25 with the show starting at 21:00, and a special warm-up performance from 20:00 to 21:00 for early-access ticket holders. Tickets are on sale now via amf-festival.com. 

Speaking on the announcement of his AMF show, van Buuren adds: "AMF has long been one of the pillar events during Amsterdam Dance Event, and I'm thrilled to announce I'll be playing there again this year! It's going to be massive!" The undisputed global king of trance has one of the industry’s most dedicated followings, having supported the Dutchman loyally across his multi-decade career. Just last month, Armin van Buuren united tens of thousands of fans at his legendary A State of Trance in Ahoy in Rotterdam. 

In 2025, AMF is getting a full rebrand, courtesy of its new owners Insomniac Europe, who took over the previous year. After successfully hosting their first edition in 2024, the team has worked on a refreshed identity for AMF as well as a strengthened connection to its hometown of Amsterdam. While updated, the event will stay true to its core, turning the Johan Cruijff ArenA into the world’s biggest nightclub featuring A-list DJs and spectacular production and light shows. With a fresh identity, AMF 2025 promises an electrifying night, bringing together the biggest DJs, cutting-edge production, and an unmatched atmosphere at the world’s largest nightclub setting. Every year, AMF draws a mindblowing amount of electronic music fans to the Johan Cruijff ArenA from all over the planet.

For this year’s prestigious Framework In The Desert headliners, Framework (who also curates Coachella’s indoor electronic Yuma Tent) has handpicked Dutch tech-house superstar Mau P (Saturday) and legendary Swedish powerhouse Alesso (Sunday), who will be playing as his underground alias BODY HI. Friday headliners to be announced soon.

The Saturday and Sunday lineups are rounded out by a bevy of talented support acts. On Saturday, April 12, Mau P will be supported by acclaimed American DJ/producer Max Styler and British genre-blender Interplanetary Criminal.

On Sunday, April 13, Alesso’s BODY HI moniker will be preceded by two special guests: Haitian house music DJ/producer Francis Mercier and seasoned selector Layton Giordani.

Framework In The Desert 2025 will also feature the Long Feng Art Car as its stage - marking the structure’s first public event appearance outside of Burning Man. Debuting at Burning Man 2024, Long Feng is a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art mutant vehicle inspired and designed by a collective of contortionists, dancers, and performing artists. The structure embodies the spirit of a circus performer, equipped with a myriad of rigs, LEDs, and sound systems - a marvel of an edifice that will elevate Framework In The Desert’s DJ performances into a ‘you-had-to-be-there’ visual experience.

For the consecutive fourth year, renowned hospitality icon Wynn Nightlife will be on deck at Framework In The Desert for an elevated experience, allowing revelers to enjoy an unforgettable VIP experience that features exclusive seating, dedicated bottle service, prime artist sightlines, and the acclaimed guest service that the brand is globally recognized for.

Since its inception in 2022 - when the event became one of the first-ever festival afterparties open to the public - Framework In The Desert has transformed Atlantic Aviation into a desert club paradise, delivering Framework’s characteristic standards for top-tier production and sound. Past Framework in the Desert lineups have included huge names such as John Summit, Dom Dolla, Charlotte de Witte, the debut of The Martinez Brothers b2b Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, Jamie Jones, Fisher b2b Chris Lake, Adam Beyer b2b Maceo Plex, and many more. Located just a short distance from the Indio festival grounds, Framework in the Desert serves as the ultimate after-hours destination for festival-goers who didn’t get to catch their favorite dance music artists during the day—or those who simply want to experience main stage talent in a more intimate warehouse environment.

In addition to its late-night music offerings, Framework in the Desert provides a unique indoor-outdoor setting within an airport hangar, complete with planes soaring overhead. Beyond the dancefloor, guests can explore bars, food trucks, and outdoor social spaces near the runway—creating a one-of-a-kind club atmosphere unlike any other.

Framework In The Desert 2025 follows Framework’s immensely successful ‘Michael Bibi on Hollywood BLVD’ event. A co-production with Goldenvoice, Framework shut down Hollywood Boulevard between Vine Street and Cahuenga Boulevard to host an extended, three-and-a-half hour set from tech-house maestro Michael Bibi - a tour-de-force concert production that added to Framework’s sparkling legacy of producing culture-defining events in Los Angeles. The event - which had a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation Fund - was the second Framework event on Hollywood Boulevard following the company’s production of Fisher and Chris Lake’s 12,000 person “Under Construction” bonanza, the first high-volume event permitted to a promoter on the star-studded street since 2000.

‘Michael Bibi on Hollywood BLVD’ and the ongoing Framework In The Desert series are just two examples of how Framework has spent the past decade redefining dance music experiences, continuously curating innovative events in non-traditional locations. In 2024 alone, Framework produced inaugural, sold-out events at the historic Sears Building (with Dom Dolla), the legendary film production house Red Studios (with Duke Dumont and Rampa), and Downtown LA’s architectural landmark League of Shadows Pavillion at SCI-Arc, where they hosted Maceo Plex’s first LA performance in five years. The company also brought Solomun to Exposition Park, Francis Mercier to Chinatown’s lantern-flanked Gin Ling Way, and BLOND:ISH to California Plaza in DTLA - just to name a few highlights from a year of unforgettable shows.

Following the massive success of the debut at Cow Palace earlier this month, electronic visionary Rezz today announces the highly-anticipated second edition of her awe-striking new audio-visual show, PORTAL, taking place at Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA on September 26, 2025. 

After shocking fans in the Bay Area with its premiere showing, PORTAL will conquer an even bigger stage when it hits the Tacoma Dome this Fall. Bringing fans into Rezz’s spellbinding world, PORTAL aims to shatter the typical concert-going experience by heightening every sense and immersing audiences in a surreal and unforgettable journey. 

Ambitious and cutting-edge, PORTAL takes Rezz’s stage production to the next level with hyperactive animations, overstimulating lasers, and electrifying pyrotechnics. The show is a true sensory overload, dynamically mapping her illusory visuals to backdrop a medley of Rezz’s own discography.

“Beyond excited to be bringing the second PORTAL show to the Tacoma Dome!!! It’s an absolutely gigantic venue which calls for a gigantic production, and the perfect spot to open the next PORTAL. I can't wait to show you all!” – Rezz

PORTAL not only acts as a gateway into Rezz’s sonic universe, but also showcases her unmistakable visual artistry on a grandiose platform. Created in collaboration with Bending Lite, the production team behind Rezz’s previous Spiral and Spectacle designs, PORTAL features visuals meticulously crafted by a handpicked crew of animators and graphic designers. No AI was used in the creation of Rezz’s hypnotic and haunting visuals, ensuring that every detail reflects her authentic artistic vision. 

The debut PORTAL at Cow Palace marked Rezz’s biggest headline show to-date, selling out the Bay Area’s 12,000-capacity indoor arena. The next PORTAL will set a new benchmark for Rezz when she takes on the Tacoma Dome’s 15,000-capacity. 

PORTAL will not only be a rare chance to see Rezz’s one-of-a-kind stage production, but also one of few headline stops this year aside from her annual stays at New York’s The Brooklyn Mirage and Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre and festival appearances at EDC Las Vegas, Shambhala, Elements, and more..

29-year-old Canadian producer/DJ Rezz (real name Isabelle Rezazadeh) has become one of the biggest female electronic acts in the world: she's racked up millions of streams, sold out renowned amphitheaters, and performed at major festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza. As one of dance music's foremost female innovators, Rezz’s accomplishments are endless: from gracing the covers of Billboard (2019) and DJ Mag (2018) to winning a pair of Juno Awards for Electronic Album of the Year (Mass Manipulation, 2018 & Beyond the Senses, 2020). Her career is illuminated by historic moments including being the first female DJ to headline Coachella's Sahara Stage and Colorado's Red Rocks. In September 2022, she launched her label imprint HypnoVizion Records, which has gone on to release dozens of records, gained tens of millions of streams, and has quickly become a marquee label in the electronic music scene. Last year, Rezz released her fourth studio album CAN YOU SEE ME?, and continued to dominate the festival circuit topping more than 15 lineups along with REZZMAU5 performances at Tomorrowland and HARD Summer.
