The electronic music world is excited as AMF, the crown jewel of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), announces its first headliner for 2025. The legendary Armin van Buuren is set to triumphantly return to the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Saturday, October 25, after a year-long hiatus, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his comeback.
Armin’s Legacy at AMF
With eight stellar performances under his belt, Armin van Buuren has become synonymous with AMF’s electrifying atmosphere.
