ARMIN VAN BUUREN KICKS OFF NATIONAL U.S. TOUR
SEPTEMBER 3 AT NOCTURNAL WONDERLAND IN LOS ANGELES
IN SUPPORT OF ‘SHIVERS’
For almost a decade, Southern California’s Nocturnal Wonderland (www.nocturnalwonderland), the first and one of the largest electronic music events in the country, has been drawing thousands of dance enthusiasts to experience the sonic mastery of such world-renowned talents as Moby, The Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy Slim, Underworld and Groove Armada, giving America its first peek at these superstars long before their mainstream cross-over success. On Saturday, September 3, Nocturnal Wonderland returns for its next installment to the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino, CA with headliner Dutch DJ/producer ARMIN VAN BUUREN, serving as the kick-off for his fall U.S. tour in support of his new album, Shivers (ULTRA Records).
Following Nocturnal Wonderland, VAN BUUREN will embark on a major DJ support tour making stops at key nightlife venues across the country including crobar in New York, Space in Miami, Eleven 50 in Atlanta and Avalon in Boston.
Even though he ranks #3 on the U.K.’s DJ Magazine DJ poll, right behind Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk (a firm indication of international superstar status) and recently drew over 40,000 attendees to the world’s largest indoor rave Sensation White, VAN BUUREN is still very much considered a fresh face on the American dance music circuit.

Shivers—released yesterday (August 23) on Ultra Records–is VAN BUUREN’s second artist album (his debut artist album 76 was released in 2003 and was nominated for a Dancestar Award for “Best Debut Album”) and features a variety of guest vocalists and producers including Dutch celebrity pianist and composer Jan Vayne, former Genesis (post-Phil Collins) singer Ray Wilson and Justine Suissa, who collaborated with Armin on his smash hit single from 2004, “Burned With Desire.” Wrote Michael Paoletta of Shivers in the August 20, 2005 issue of Billboard, “Here, full-on songwriting and an attention to song structure rule, resulting in a disc that is club- and iPod-ready.”
