The Legends of Trance: ATB with SolarStone and Steve Allen

We invite you to a unique event for Dubai — the first performance in this city in many years by ATB, one of the world’s most popular stars of trance and electronic music as a whole, whose hits made this genre a part of mainstream culture and became known far beyond the electronic music scene.

ATB is not just a name on a festival lineup. He is an architect of sound who changed the game. He is an entire era — everyone knows his tracks, even those who have never listened to electronic music. When people say “legend of trance,” it’s him who comes to mind. He is the main hitmaker of an entire era, and it was he who created the anthem that started the global popularity of this genre!

Additional Description In 1999, ATB released “9 PM (Till I Come).” And then something happened that no one had achieved before him: for the first time in history, an instrumental trance track topped the UK national chart. Not just getting into rotation, but becoming the first trance number one in the UK — and then worldwide! That was the moment when trance ceased to be underground and began speaking to the world in one language. Since then, ATB has been at the top of the trance scene for a quarter of a century without a single break.

10 studio albums. Each one an evolution. He didn’t get stuck in 1999: Two Worlds with its “motion vs relaxation” concept, the Mindhunters soundtrack with “Marrakech,” collaborations with Heather Nova and Armin van Buuren. In 2021, he closed a 20-year time loop: “Your Love (9PM)” with Topic and A7S brought him back to the UK Top 10 after 20 years. And in 2023, the original “9 PM” once again stormed the Beatport Trance charts — 24 years after its release. A billion streams on Spotify. And in 2025, he releases another album, continuing his era consciously and beautifully.

But the uniqueness of this evening is not just in one name. We have brought together three poles of trance.

Solarstone — the guardian of Pure Trance traditions. His sets are not dance-floor mechanics, but deep philosophy. No compromises. Only the purity of the genre. He is a true legend who opens the biggest festivals and is an unquestioned authority among professionals and fans of electronic music alike. Alongside ATB, he is one of the founders of the genre who shaped its modern sound.

Steve Allen — another star of trance music, one of the most professional DJs in the world, without whom it seems no major trance event can do. He represents the younger generation of unquestioned trance music authorities, but he is fully committed to the traditions of pure trance. Why is this event unparalleled in the region?

Look at Dubai’s lineup. Afro-house and deep house. It’s all been done before. The segment of grand, epic, melodic trance is empty. And on April 17, we are filling that niche. There will be no “loud” techno for aggression. Trance is music of goodness, light, and dreams. This is not an all-night club rave. It is a major concert at the legendary venue The Agenda Dubai. Crystal-clear sound. Thought-out lighting. Three artists are taking the stage to make our lives better.

We know you’re tired of one-off parties. Of DJs whose names are forgotten the next day. ATB, Solarstone, and Steve Allen — this is cultural code. Their music doesn’t age. It has been waiting for its moment to be heard here.

The number of tickets is strictly limited. This evening will not be repeated. Not because we want it that way. But because bringing together three artists of this caliber in one place on one date is an event that happens once in a decade.

Come. This is not nostalgia. This is proof that the best in trance is still ahead.
