During his track Ping Pong, large yellow beach balls with the initials “A O” dropped from the ceiling of the Coliseum, as fans played around with them before they all got snagged as memorabilia by some lucky ones. Over the last hour, Van Buuren played more of his fan favourites from his five studio albums including Fine Without You, Not Giving up on Love, and In and Out of Love.
Armin van buuren intense review full#
Bedford, along with an entire live band, were in full force for Love Never Came. Midway through the show, Van Buuren treats fans to Dash Berlin’s When the World Falls Apart, and Gareth Emery’s Concrete Angels. Along with Evans, violinist Miri Ben-Ari, singer Fiora, Laura Jansen, Richard Bedford, and Van Buuren’s own brother, Eller, join him throughout the Intense tour. For his hit Alone, Lauren Evans gets on stage with her powerful vocals. Van Buuren is travelling with a full band, and several singers. After emerging from the bubble, Van Buuren went on to play some older favourites such as Drowning, but also some newer ones like This is What it Feels Like where he was joined on stage by Vancouver’s own Trevor Guthrie. To complete the visuals and production, Van Buuren had dancers and acrobats on trampolines for parts of the show. One of Van Buuren’s opening tunes was a brilliant mix of London Grammar’s Hey Now. Smoke machines, incredible visuals and lighting, and the stage set up combined to create a full on musical production. Being a fan myself, and having seen Van Buuren three times previously including once in Las Vegas, this was the biggest EDM show production I’ve attended to date. The colourful crowd at the show, which was presented by Live Nation and Blueprint, consisted of fans of all ages, many with glow stick and neon clothing. No openers, no closers, it was a live show and a spontaneous DJ set that began at 8 p.m. and did not stop until 1 a.m. But fans knew this would be a rare treat, this is the Armin Only show.
The award-winning Dutch DJ began playing in the enclosed bubble before emerging a few songs into his set. There is a reason Armin Van Buuren remains one of the world’s biggest DJ’s, even after being in the scene for almost a decade, and he proved it once again when his Armin Only: Intense tour landed at Pacific Coliseum on Saturday night.įrom the very beginning of the set, as the lights first dimmed, and a giant white bubble descended on the stage, it was clear this wasn’t a usual Van Buuren set.
