Hi, I haven't posted on here before, but I found this really important, as i'm like Tiesto's biggest fangirl...but ONLY his trance tracks. I know we've all been waiting for something like this to happen, and Tiesto's FINALLY doing a trance-only set at a modern day rave event. Here's the plan guys, show Tiesto support and show up to convince him that WE LOVE TRANCE, and we want this back for good... anyways, here's the link, it's not fake news I promise, it's for real guys!!

holy shit thats unreal..... this is must go guys

imagine hearing suburban train, willow, cloudwalking, sunrise (goldenscan), flesh, sunrise at palamos, silence, supernova (transa), airwave.... i'd die

Alright girl, first off welcome to trance addict. Dunno how long you've been into trance but welcome anyways. also, thanks for sharing this info. I'm just blown away

this event sounds completely unreal....

Back in the day, when have we ever got Ferry, Tiesto, Oakenfold, PVD, John 00 Fleming, Chicane, Thomas Schumacher, John o Callaghan, I mean GEEZ what a dream lineup.

I can't complain, but some of those no names in there could easily be replaced by: Marusha, Sven Vath, Cosmic Baby, Art of Trance or any Platipus artist, Oceanlab (Above & Beyond), and Armin

Kind of weird how plur trance hasn’t developed anyone to replace or succeed the likes of the now 50 years old or older djs like Tiesto, Armin, PvD etc. I would suppose this may be because of the internet and everyone being siloed, but kinda weird that people are waiting on a 56 year old done and dusted dj to occasionally play plur.

I think it's not just trance but music in general. But I think you got it right with the internet and isolation (contrary to what had been promised the internet would bring, ironically and sadly).

It's all about marketing, and the guys established at the top have tons of capital to keep marketing themselves at the top. Some up-and-comer hasn't a hope in hell of competing with that. At best, they may get some viral TikTok flash moments of exposure. Unless they have a ridiculous amount of trust fund financing (or venture capital... or cyptocoin), they'll never compete with the marketing muscle of scene veterans.

Can grassroots, word-of-mouth hype even still exist in this algorithm age?

will never happen, would be nice but nobody is really playing that kind of stuff, you'd have to find a classics only night and hope to god some random dj will can it out

tiesto is having the time of his life rolling with the likes of john summit and playing junk like that

however you'll get the odd big names digging the crate, like I've heard Marsh play some classics he's remixed (White Room, etc) live and one-off classics like Xpander.

the other day i heard Braxton play a mostly original/edit of Bloodlock by Sasha and it was UNREAL

every couple of years people get excited about Tiesto playing trance lol. I guess im not mad at it , if it gets people out , and I can't tell people what to get excited for. Nostalgia does play a factor.

LOl tiesto has a huge marketing team , they try their hardest to appeal to gen Z. but sounds change.

Reminisce on your own, relive it with friends, share it for noobs.



Getting older, I'm learning to perceive the past with affection rather than nostalgia.

Difficult as it is, it makes aging so much more pleasant.
