Watch: Tiësto returns to trance at Dreamstate SoCal

Causing quite the frenzy, legendary DJ and record producer Tiësto returned to his trance roots during a special live performance at Dreamstate SoCal on November 21st, 2025.

Returning to his roots in the most emphatic of manners, legendary DJ and record producer Tiësto has performed his most highly-anticipated set to date, with a dedicated trance set at Dreamstate SoCal. Celebrating the festival’s 10th anniversary, and of course, the Dutch acts’ return to the genre that defined generations, Tiësto brought nothing less than the ultimate of vibes all throughout this extraordinary live performance, whilst attendees had the opportunity to witness greatness right before their very eyes. 

A special trance set that was confirmed back in July, Tiësto’s return has been on every dance music enthusiasts mind(s) for quite some time now, and much to our delight, the man himself only recently provided even further hints, either them being the complete wipe out of his socials and the use of his 1999 InnerCity logo, the release of the first single from his upcoming album in the form of ‘Bring Me To Life’ alongside FORS, and of course, this groundbreaking live set at Dreamstate SoCal. One for the books, Tiësto ensured nothing less than the most euphoric of vibes, and as he intertwined between absolute classics, and forthcoming new releases, one thing was for certain; the return of Tiësto to trance is now in full flow, and we are all for it!

An experience that ranks high up in the pantheon of electronic dance music’s greatest of moments, Tiësto has marked his return to trance in a way that will be celebrated for years and years to come, and with the early signs being nothing short of spectacular, we most certainly cannot wait for what this legendary act has in store for us next. The ultimate of live performances, be sure to get a glimpse of what unfolded during Tiësto’s trance set at Dreamstate SoCal below, and as always, don’t forget to leave your own thoughts on both the set and his return to trance in the comments section.
