Update: Armin van Buuren is rehearsing with ‘het concertgebouw orkest’ for the coronation of Prince Willem-Alexander.
Armin van Buuren has been invited by the Dutch Royal Family to attend the crowning of Prince Willem-Alexander during Queensday (Dutch: Koninginnedag) on the 30th of April. Armin himself told NU.nl that he has no clue why he has been picked by the family to illuminate this once-in-a-lifetime event, but he heard that the royal couple is very much into his music.
The King of Trance will oversee how the Dutch Prince will be crowned King, and is going to play a set right after the event, to celebrate Holland’s brand new King. Armin will be performing together with the orchestra of the ‘Orkestgebouw’, so it seems like something special is waiting for us! The last king stepped off the throne in 1890, so after decades ruled by Queens, it is finally time for the Netherlands to have a King on the throne once again.
