The A State of Trance 550 world tour of Armin van Buuren has officially kicked off today. The 550th episode of his popular A State of Trance radio show will be celebrated with six events in five different countries throughout the month of March, starting with the first, sold-out ASOT 550 event in London (UK) tonight. At the world-famous Ministry of Sound club, more than 1600 visitors will celebrate this milestone in the Dutch DJ’s career. All of the events will be broadcast live via www.astateoftrance.com. With an average of 25 million listeners to the show each week, the number of people expected to tune into the live broadcast is even higher.
