Looks like I'm in for a treat for the 3rd of October. Armin is going to give a show in our hometown to celebrate that we were freed from the Spaniards 450 years ago. So going to try really hard to be part of it.
I've been to numerous shows of him when he was in town and don't want to miss this.
Unfortunately the article is in Dutch and it's only an announcement. But truly exited to have the opportunity to see him performing at home again.
Armin van Buuren geeft show tijdens 450 jaar Leidens Ontzet: “Het feest van het jaar” - 3 October Vereeniging

Preparations for the Relief of Leiden are in full swing. This year, Leiden's Relief is extra special, because it is exactly 450 years ago that Leiden was relieved from the Spanish. The 3 October Association and the municipality of Leiden therefore want to celebrate this edition bigger than ever, including a special role for DJ and Leiden resident Armin van Buuren.
“For me personally, this is always the party of the year,” says Van Buuren. “The fact that all of Leiden celebrates freedom together is what makes this such a special celebration.”
This year the Leidens Ontzet program is more extensive and diverse in design than in previous years. With plenty of celebration to remember, and of course also room for commemoration. On behalf of the 3 October Vereeniging, chairman of the Jubilee Committee Jurgen van der Velden is closely involved in the organization: “As a Vereeniging we are extremely proud that we can collaborate with our own Armin and organize a spectacular event together. ”
Van Buuren did not have to think long about his contribution to 450 years of 3 October. “Leiden is the city where I grew up, the city where I live and the city that allows me to do what I do and be who I am.” What exactly Van Buuren's role in the festivities is “will remain our secret for the time being,” says Van der Velden. “We are going to surprise Leiden, I can say that.”

It’s impossible every year to find something that’s not ridiculously priced. And the tickets aren’t cheap either. And a train to Zandvoort and back another € 60.
