In addition, Armin was the recipient of the prestigious IDMA Legacy Award, which honors artists that have made a substantial impact in the electronic dance music scene.
Throughout his respected career in electronic dance music, Armin was named the “World’s Best DJ” five times by the coveted DJ Magazine. To this day, the Dutchman continues to push himself to the limits every take that he takes a festival main stage and with every new track he releases.
Armin van Buuren also moved up four spots to No. 16 in Billboard’s Dance 100 list, which was presented several hours earlier.
