Armin van Buuren headlines NOX Festival on March 7, 2026, at Arena Opus in São José (SC). General sales start Jan 15 at 12pm.
Greater Florianópolis is set for a new milestone in electronic music with the debut of the NOX label on March 7 at Arena Opus. Designed as a large-scale project, the event aims to place the region on Brazil’s key electronic-music circuit, delivering an immersive experience backed by high-end production.
For its first edition, the NOX Festival welcomes Armin van Buuren as headliner, one of the most influential figures in global electronic music. He was voted the world’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Mag a record five times (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012) and ranked No. 1 in the 2024 Top 100 DJs specifically as a Trance DJ. He returns to Brazil after four years.
The same day’s line-up also features Moser B2B, Etta, Öwnboss, Cat Dealers and Laura van Dam. In total, six acts make up the bill, reinforcing Opus Entretenimento’s new bet on audiences who experience electronic music as a sensory, cultural and collective moment.
Exclusively at Arena Opus, Armin brings “The Orb”, a trance spectacle built as a fully immersive concept. Created to be experienced from start to finish, the show merges music, lighting and visual design in a circular structure that surrounds the crowd.
The performance marks the project’s debut in Brazil and, for now, it will be Armin van Buuren’s only tour date with “The Orb” in the country. The announcement highlights the event’s exclusivity while placing São José on the radar of the most innovative electronic-music formats worldwide.
