Mr. Matrix, our friend from the decks, informs us that Armin Van Buuren will be coming @ageHa in November, the 23rd exactly.

As usual with ageHa, you are better off buying advance tickets, to avoid the 2+ hours long line for those without tickets.

..more info on advance ticket on a later post.

Ferry Corsten @ ageHa in May, Saturday the 17th !

If Tiesto performance is anything to go by, you better buy those thickets in advance and be there early.
At the Tiesto's event this month, some of hour friends got in at 1 am with tickets and were told that they had to stay in line for about 1 hour !

Lawson Ticket: code 75702

The Crowd

Very few people attending the event (maybe less than 1000?). It might be a warning: is trance dead in Japan??? 1/3 of the audience was composed by foreigners ... uhm

Until the next event,
Matrix

It seems that on October the 13th (Saturday) Armin van Buuren will be performing at ageHa in Shinkiba !

We'll definitely be there for this event.
If you are planning to go as well, here are a couple hints for you:

• Do bring your ID with you !
• Get an advance ticket unless you are willing to wait 1-2 hours in line..
• Picture taking is sadly not allowed. So, expect having to leave your camera in the locker 8(
  

Literally a magnificent performance by the multi-awarded German DJ Paul van Dyk, last Sat. in Tokyo! Guess here we should talk a little about ageHa (AKA Studio Coast) and what it's all about.
