He’s a key player in popularising trance music 

Armin Van Buuren has been ranked number one in “DJ Mag”, and has consistently remained on their top five list, reports Arab News. This event is being supported by the General Entertainment Authority, although it is still unannounced wether it will be a mixed or male-only concert. 

No new details about the performance has been announced yet, but this article will be updated accordingly.

A DJ coming to the Kingdom can be seen as yet another crossover from the usual performers that come to Saudi. With the General Entertainment Authority’s back-up on this event, it is clear that the country is opening up its doors to allowing more variety of performances here. 

The Kingdom had rapper Nelly perform just months ago, but this one tops the cake. Oh well, we’re not complaining.
