More than 25 dates were set, with shows landing in cities such as Kiev, Mumbai, Saint-Petersburg, Helsinki, New York, Toronto, Mexico City, Sydney, Johannesburg, and more. The Dutch edition of the show, spanning two nights at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, sold out within only a few hours.

One of the highlights of his career so far was Armin’s performance for the newly crowned King and Queen of The Netherlands, Willem-Alexander and Máxima.
