[Watch] Armin van Buuren and Hannah Laing Join Forces for the A State of Trance Opening Party at [UNVRS] Ibiza on September 7, 2026

07 October 2026

Ibiza’s 2026 trance season entered a new chapter on Monday, September 7, when Armin van Buuren launched his A State of Trance residency at [UNVRS] Ibiza with a special opening party featuring a Face2Face performance with Hannah Laing.

This video captures Armin van Buuren F2F Hannah Laing at [UNVRS] Ibiza on 7 September 2026, bringing together two artists from different generations of the electronic music scene inside one of the island’s most talked-about venues.

The opening night marked the beginning of a five-date A State of Trance residency at [UNVRS], created as part of the celebration of 25 years of A State of Trance. Armin was scheduled to perform a special five-hour extended set across the residency dates, giving each Monday night a much broader musical journey than a conventional club set.

A State of Trance Makes Its [UNVRS] Ibiza Debut

The September 7 event was the first A State of Trance party to take place at [UNVRS] Ibiza, bringing Armin van Buuren’s long-running trance brand into the San Rafael venue for the 2026 season.

The residency ran every Monday from September 7 through October 5, with Armin van Buuren presenting a special five-hour set at each event. The series was built around the 25th anniversary of A State of Trance and combined trance and progressive sounds with the immersive production, visuals and large-scale club environment of [UNVRS].

A State of Trance has had a long association with Ibiza, and the move to [UNVRS] represented a new chapter for the brand on the island.

Armin van Buuren F2F Hannah Laing

One of the defining moments of the opening party was the special Face2Face set between Armin van Buuren and Hannah Laing.

The performance was particularly notable because the two artists had already collaborated in the studio during 2026. Armin van Buuren, Hannah Laing and Wippenberg released “U Got 2 Know” in May, bringing together Armin’s trance heritage with Hannah Laing’s high-energy contemporary sound.

That collaboration gave their Face2Face appearance at [UNVRS] an additional connection, turning a recent studio partnership into a live Ibiza performance.

For fans attending the opening party, the combination of Armin’s extended set and the Face2Face appearance created one of the night’s standout moments.

A Five-Hour Armin van Buuren Set

The format of the A State of Trance residency placed Armin at the centre of each Monday night, with a five-hour extended set designed to give him time to develop a longer musical journey.

Rather than a short festival-style performance, the extended format allowed the set to move through different shades of trance, progressive and melodic electronic music while making full use of the atmosphere and production at [UNVRS].

For the September 7 opening party, the event ran from 23:30 until 06:00.

The Main Room lineup featured Armin van Buuren, Hannah Laing and Ruben de Ronde, while NRG200 and S3PPA performed in The Bunker.

25 Years of A State of Trance in Ibiza

The 2026 residency also formed part of a landmark year for A State of Trance.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the brand returned to Ibiza with a new home at [UNVRS], connecting one of the best-known names in trance with one of the island’s newest large-scale club venues.

The timing was significant for [UNVRS] too. In 2026, the venue was voted the World’s No.1 Club in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs poll, adding further attention to its second season in Ibiza.

The result was a meeting of two major electronic music identities: the quarter-century legacy of A State of Trance and the rapidly growing international profile of [UNVRS].

The Armin van Buuren F2F Hannah Laing moment on September 7, 2026, captured exactly what made the A State of Trance Opening Party such an important date in Ibiza’s clubbing calendar.

Armin brought the experience of one of trance music’s most influential artists to the [UNVRS] Main Room, while Hannah Laing added a contemporary energy that reflected the increasingly broad sound of modern electronic music.

Together, their Face2Face appearance became one of the most memorable moments of the opening night and a key highlight of Armin van Buuren’s first A State of Trance residency at [UNVRS] Ibiza.
