Armin van Buuren

Returning to AMF to ‘own the night’ once more, the first of four massive names to be revealed is none other than Dutch icon Armin van Buuren. The undisputed king of trance and record-breaking DJ has topped the DJ Mag Top 100 poll more times than any other artist and rightfully claims the title as one of the most iconic DJ’s in history! Known for his euphoric sounds and relentless passion for music, the local hero is sure to put the entire Arena in A State of Trance. 

Tiesto

Next up is what many refer to as the ‘godfather of EDM’. Fellow Dutch DJ and producer Tiesto will also headline this year’s edition of AMF. After dominating the house and trance worlds, the Grammy-award winner pioneered the crossover from electronic music into the mainstream; where he successfully resides today. His unmatched catalogue of chart-topping releases and renowned live performances make this DJ one you won’t want to miss.

Alesso

Following the announcement of two Dutch legends, the prince of progressive house Alesso is next to join the phase one lineup. Returning to the AMF stage for the first time since 2016, the Swedish DJ and producer is responsible for some of the biggest EDM hits of this generation. With more than 1 billion combined Spotify streams and the recent release of his widely acclaimed mixtape ‘PROGRESSO Volume 1’, Alesso is ready to take on the night with the Amsterdam crowd. 

Jonas Blue

The final addition to the phase one AMF Festival lineup is English DJ, songwriter and producer Jonas Blue.
