UK – Dreamstate London Preview w/ Danielle

by | Feb 7, 2017 | EVENTS, PREVIEWS

What better way to celebrate with trance families across the world

For the first time in my life, I will be hopping on a plane and crossing the pond to visit London, England, a city with a history dating back centuries during the Roman times. This adventure will fulfill my love of history by visiting landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey as well as new modern marvels like the London Eye and to top it off with Dreamstate off course.

On March 4th, 2017 Insomniac will present its first stand alone Dreamstate London at the O2 Academy in Brixton.  Successfully debuted at EDC UK 2016, this event will feature some of the best artist in the industry—Aly & Fila, Bryan Kearney, Dan Stone, James Dymond, Menno De Jong, Paul Van Dyk, Shugz, and Vini Vici.  A lineup sure to sell out the place with a high energy four-to-the-floor beats that will transport you to your wildest dreams.

Traveling halfway across the globe for a trance show may seem ludicrous to some people. But for me, trance is life which gives me passion and desire to move forward. The anticipation of being able to fly my Trance Family LA flag next to the Union Jack has me smiling ear to ear.
