The ‘Armin Only Embrace’ world tour is closely related to Armin van Buuren’s latest artist album, ‘Embrace’, in which the five-time #1 DJ of the world embraces different styles, genres, and sounds through collaborations with a wide range of internationally acclaimed artists.
The majority of these artists, including Kensington, Eric Vloeimans, Mr. Probz, and Cimo Fränkel, will accompany the world-renowned DJ and producer on tour, which includes the shows in the Ziggo Dome.
Meet some of the Armin Only Embrace artists below.
Armin van Buuren:
“On my new album Embrace, I am trying to express the feeling how I experience a world full of music. As a DJ/producer I want to connect people to this world full of inspiring combinations. An endless universe of possibilities is waiting to be embraced. Everything is possible.”
“The way I listen to music is the same way I approach life – with open arms, accepting all that’s unfamiliar and different. Being surprised by something unknown every single day; like a new idea, a different culture, or an encounter with an unfamiliar person. In that world, I can be myself and embrace all new experiences. Let’s venture into uncharted territory, starting this brand new adventure together. Embrace.”
Kensington:
“We are thrilled to be part of the Armin Only tour! Of course it’s an interesting challenge to bring two worlds together, but if something’s too easy, it ain’t fun… We had a really good time creating and recording ‘Heading Up High’ with Armin, so we can’t wait to bring the collaboration to the stage!!”
Eric Vloeimans:
He’s colorful, versatile, engaging, friendly….and one hell of a trumpet player. Eric Vloeimans is regarded as one of Europe’s best performers with an extraordinary talent for playing original music with outstanding quality.
“I’m enchanted, enthralled and… entranced to be working together with Armin on this tour. It’s a whole new world for me, but the same principles apply – Music, Joy and Love.”
Cimo Fränkel:
Born and raised in Amsterdam, Cimo Fränkel is already an accomplished singer/songwriter/producer getting international acclaim at an early stage in his career.
“Touring the world with Armin is going to be one of the most exciting things. It’s really inspiring to see Armin put so much good energy in to making this an event of a lifetime. I feel honoured to be part of it.”
Mr Probz:
Dennis Princewell Stehr, better known under the name Mr. Probz, grew up in the city of Zoetermeer in the Netherlands. Mr. Probz started his career with well-received collaborations in the Dutch and later, the American Hip-Hop scene. With a strong voice and a superb ear for melody, he made a strong impact, ultimately resulting in a solo career as a rapper, singer/songwriter and producer following his multi-platinum success with his international smash hit ‘Waves’.
The dates and location of the world premiere of the ‘Armin Only Embrace’ world tour has been revealed. The first two shows are to take place in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on May 6th and May 7th, as announced by Armin van Buuren himself through Facebook Live today.
