Armin Van Buuren – Together (In a State Of Trance)
“The time has come, to join forces… in unity, friendship, and love. Together, in A State of Trance. This year’s A State of Trance anthem is now on the horizon, and tonight’s show gave a small taste of what the future holds. Join us as we come together for the greatest celebration on earth. It’s time to go back to the essence. Back to where it all started. That incredible feeling. Together in A State Of Trance.”
Armin Van Buuren starred the official anthem for the 700th episode of the State of Trance Radio Show on his latest episode. I personally love the intro of this song and I am hoping he will drop this tune live at White Wonderland for New Years’ Eve. Armin has been experiencing with this tune live recently on his latest performances and more details on the release will be known shortly.

For anyone who isn’t neck-deep in trance culture, A State of Trance anthems are a big deal. Every major milestone episode of Armin van Buuren’s long-running radio show gets its own custom anthem, and those tracks tend to become instant staples of his live sets and the broader ASOT festival series for years afterward. Landing the anthem for episode 700 is a massive honor, and ‘Together (In A State Of Trance)’ leans hard into that legacy-building, unifying theme — the spoken intro alone reads like a mission statement for what the whole ASOT movement is about.
Sonically, the track follows the blueprint that’s made so many previous ASOT anthems into instant classics: a big, emotional build, a spoken-word intro that sets the mood, and a drop built for a stadium-sized crowd to lose it to. Armin has always had a knack for turning these milestone anthems into something that plays just as well blasting through festival speakers as it does on headphones during a late-night drive, and ‘Together’ sounds like it’s continuing that tradition.
As of this post, the anthem is still fresh off its live preview, and Armin hasn’t confirmed an official release date yet — so consider this one still in the “coming soon” category. We’ll be keeping an ear out for more info on when ‘Together (In A State Of Trance)’ gets a proper release, and whether it makes an appearance at any of Armin’s upcoming New Year’s shows.
It’s also worth pointing out that Armin has apparently been road-testing the track in his sets already, which usually means a full release isn’t too far behind — producers tend to workshop these festival anthems live before locking in a final mix. If the reception at White Wonderland or any other New Year’s Eve show is as strong as we’re expecting, don’t be shocked if ‘Together’ becomes one of the defining trance records to kick off the new year. Give the preview above a listen and get ready to hear this one a lot more in the months ahead.
